Why.?

1.  No pre-order bonus (didn't care about poster)

2. Had digital version pre-ordered

3. Live 20 minutes away from gamestop, so would have to drive there and back to get just a download code?

4. I can download the game at 11:00 my time at home, when at best my gamestop has a midnight opening.  Doubt it does even that.

5. Sonic has a pre-order bonus that is decent so switched to that.

I'm still getting Pokemon, just downloading it from Eshop at home and not through gamestop.

Oh thank Arceus :P

haha, sorry gotta catch them all!!

downloading pokemon Y and going to pick up x tomorrow!!! 

Well dang. I did not expect a line that will probably take 45 minutes at gamestop. This stinks...

You just arrive at store or what?

YOu have a pre-order?

Would suck to stand in line for 45 minutes and not get a game.  

Is it a long line or just fact that each person may take 5 minutes to check out?

Yea I have a preorder. There is just like 150 people in line in front of me. Last midnight release I did was heart of the swarm and there was maybe 10 people total haha.

@tbone51, you need to make a lines thread!
