Yeah i got the collectors edition and it really wasn't worth it. i mean all the extra's are great and all but maybe something better then just the netherwelp for in-game extra's would really have been nice.

I sat at home while my brother picked upour copies.
He came home at 12:15, and...we installed it and played till we couldn't keep our eyes open.
We both started BE Hunters...and, already reached 10 within a few hours.

I pre-ordered mine when I first had the opportunity to several montsh ago. Wnet in to GameStop, hung out for a bit, picked up my game, and went home and installed it. Played for a few hours, got a bit of sleep, then went in for PT, and got the day off to play WoW.

Erm, I just went to the mall and picked it up at EB games the next day on lunch break. No late nights or crowds or fussing with anything, and I got to chat with a couple of other local players that were there too.

I thought the Midnight thing was great...No where else have I seen the greastest collection of dorks and geeks(which I was part of) in one place then at that fateful night we all gathered to get BC. I talked to people from different factions and servers, and I gotta tell ya, there was no fear from security that there was going to be any theft or illegal actions. I think its funny that the world views us gamers as being the anti-christ of all that is civilized and yet no one got out of hand, nor was there any negative feelings between anyone there. It was great

lol i drove to walmart at 1230, picked up a collector's edition, walked thru the checkout line, drove home and installed ^_^
