Cataclysm preorder / midnight release
09-02-2010 01:52 AM
I'm trying to preorder World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, however there is no option for pick-up (It's grey). I've been to midnight releases in the past at the Yonge & 16th Future Shop location in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and want to know if I can preorder, print the receipt, and pick-up from that location when the midnight release happens.
Also, as far as midnight releases go, I'm curious to hear how the other futureshops handle them. I've had the misfortune of some poorly organized ones at young & 16th over the past 2 years, and would consider going to another location if they're better handled.
My two favourite highlights of the Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty midnight release at the Richmond Hill Future Shop...
Arrive #21/22 in line ---> End up #43/44 in line
At one point sheets of paper were handed out by futureshop staff and numbered for the limited free gifts being given out when the doors open. When the doors actually opened, those sheets of paper were scattered amongst the first 50 people as dozens of 'new' people showed up and cut in line between 10pm and midnight.
I understand that the employees inside don't want to babysit those outside, but there must be a better way than the way it's currently being handled.
