Best Buy Fallout 3 Midnight Launch Event - Locations Announced

fitbabits · 10-24-2008, 11:41 AM

Thanks in no small part to the significant demand for Fallout 3, Best Buy and Bethesda have teamed up for a special midnight launch at the following Best Buy stores:

Washington, DC area
• Rockville, MD - 1200 Rockville Pike
• Tysons Corner, VA – 8449 Leesburg Pike

New York Area
• New York, NY – 44th And 5th
• Westbury, NY – 1100 Old Country Rd.

Los Angeles area
• Glendale, CA – 2909 Los Feliz Blvd.
• Pasadena, CA – 3415 E. Foothill Blvd.

Chicago area
• Chicago, IL. – 1000 W. North Ave.
• Downers Grove, IL – 1432 Butterfield Rd

Dallas area
• Plano, TX – 2800 N. Central Expy.
• Fort Worth, TX – 6750 West Fwy.

Minneapolis area
• Roseville, MN – 1643 Country Rd. B2
• Richfield, MN – 1000 W. 78th St.

For those of you who have been residing either under a rock or on another planet, Fallout 3 is the much-anticipated sequel to, you guessed it, Fallout 2 (and Fallout before that). Scoring a perfect 10-out-of-10 in the December issue of OXM (US), it looks like the fears about the direction of the game are largely unfounded. It is, though, still "Oblivion with guns."

What's the actual release date on this? Mine is supposed to arrive on the 4th and I want to be sure that's the launch date.

As a huge proponent that "Collector's Editions are stupid" - I want that lunchbox. I want it SO HARD.
