Live in the UK? Below are details on special midnight launch events at GAME London on Oxford Street and gamestation Birmingham on New Street.
The first 250 people to join the queue at each store will receive a Skyrim goody bag, whilst the first 100 people in the queue will also receive a Skyrim strategy guide and Skyrim music CD.
Adding further excitement on the night, fans who turn up dressed in Skyrim cosplay will have the chance to win five special prizes! The Best Cosplay winner will receive an Xbox 360, free upgrade to the Skyrim Collector’s Edition, Skyrim t-shirts, Skyrim strategy guide, Skyrim music CD, and Skyrim goody bag. The first four runners up will also receive a free upgrade to the Skyrim Collector’s Edition, Skyrim t-shirts, Skyrim strategy guide, Skyrim music CD, and Skyrim goody bag.
In addition the goodies and costume contest, folks that visit GAME London on Oxford Street will have a chance to get a photo with a real-life Elder Scroll!
Ive already pre ordered the CE so I won’t attend. Would have liked to though.
Does the xbox360 have the Skyrim case on it?
It is not a Skyrim-branded 360
Aww…
What time will we get the Steam version for those of us living in Asia?
Dax look in your steam store under skyrim. There should be a counter. I have one
I’ve got my Collector’s Edition pre-ordered from Game. Can’t wait.
Interesting. Still, I preordered from Amazon UK. I’ve no time for these midnight releases myself.
So pick up the game at midnight, and Steam unlocks it after lunch at some point (Based on past experience).
Got mine pre-ordered at GAME.co.uk, so expect that it will arrive on Thursday as usual. Just can’t play it until after work on Friday. Grrrrrrrrr. Damn work and their biggest software release in 2 years. On the same day as Skyrim. Bah.
should unlock at 12am our time (GMT) it unlocks at 00:00 where ever you are, so the ausies and kiwis will get it before us and the americans!
F@#k yeah!;D Kiwi’s FTW
So, any word on stateside launch events with fabulous prizes. Maybe in the DC metropolitan area?
Gutted this isn’t all Games would of def gone and waited outside mine as i only fibish work at 9pm!!!!!!
Damns GAME shipped my CE a few days ago would have gone to this
Why only Birmingham and London? Why! Why!
@gstaff: Cool story, bro. I’m really yearning for some info relevant to this side of the pond, though.
i would like to see something like that here in merida yucatan :C
Dang that’s sweet, that’s a ton of awesome free stuff… none of the EB Games / GameStops in my area in Canada ever seem to have midnight releases… I want a Skyrim goody bag!
I love it when they make this stuff fun, still I’ll be waiting until a more reasonable hour to get the game
