Call out sick! Sorry was posting that from work today.
So Friday after MvC3 release will be the BBQ, I’ll try to get ahold of Justo tonight or tomorrow to relay it to him. I might do casuals at my place that Thursday but it depends on weather/how tired I am.
Shame. If anyone wants to meet elsewhere for games before the 15th, please let me know!
I haven’t checked the Holyoke Best Buy, but I do know that some of those stores are supposed to have kiosks for the game already. Going to check the Hampshire Mall soon.
I’m going to the Holyoke Mall in a bit. I was in the Best Buy yesterday. Was too busy buying my nifty, new iPod Touch and only took a quick glance around, didn’t see anything obvious but I’ll double check in a bit before I go to work.
EDIT: Just took another look. They don’t have anything set up yet it looks like.
I was not at the Holyoke Mall and would also like to confirm no Marvel 3 at Best Buy. But I will confirm that if anyone is looking for a PS3 stick on the cheap, that electronics store that took the place of the old Circuit City near the Holyoke Mall at the Barnes & Noble plaza sells Round 1 TEs for $100 plus tax. Don’t know how long the deal is or if it’s also valid on Xbox 360 TEs. But if anyone needs to buy a new stick this week, go there.
I don’t think they are even doing the launch on account of only having five reserves(Pat, Ken, Justo, Myself and someone else) when the magic number was ten. I even went there personally to ask the guy about it. He said that they will still do it if they get ten reserves regardless of when they finally get them, but it’s looking unrealistic now that Marvel is less than a week away. I tried doing some persuassion of my own but people still haven’t gotten their asses over there to do reserves so it looks like it’s a no go for the midnight launch. If people still want to try, get your ass over to gameplay and put your reserve down ASAP.
I talked with Jake a bit today and he mentioned having a good number of people for the launch. So, that implied that he is having one. Gamestop won’t be, so maybe that will net a few more people, you never know. I’m down, but not for super long as I have school and work the next day.
