More Burning Crusade Midnight Launches

January 11, 2007 11:08 AM

Yesterday Blizzard announced that it would be collaborating with Fry's Electronics and GameStop/EB Games on four World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade midnight launch events nationwide. Today, GameStop/EB Games announced that thousands of its stores will be holding their own midnight events for the game to kick off its January 16 launch. Over 2,600 stores are participating, and are listed on GameStop's official site.

Stores will have screen shot character judging contests, card game tournaments, and costume contests, so please bring cameras.

EBGames is holding midnight launches. I only know the one in the Oshawa Centre (ON) and the one at Eglinton & Yonge (ON) are. Might be wise to check your local store and see what's up.

If you know of any other places, post 'em here. Just because we're in the land of the cold, doesn't mean we have to get the cold shoulder! Spread the love!

  Is it just the CA Best Buys that are having mid-night launches?
