Was there a specifically designated 'no spoilers' Harry Potter thread in which the posting of spoilers was deemed acceptable?

Whoops - I thought the "no spoilers" bit was a warning to everyone or something.

I am not interested in spoiling it for anyone (not that I know). Nobody benefits from it.

[Disgraced Toblerone]

Can't wait for someone taking advantage of the title's typo and saying "but it wasn't a spolier!".

[wretcherd]

Does anyone know if anywhere in nottingham will be?

i know the GameStation on Angel Row is opening at midnight, maybe Game on Lister Gate too.

[Preacher]

Midnight launches are fucking stupid.

[Terry Tate]

Some justification is needed I feel.

[sir stiff_one]

Yeah really fucking stupid.

Or wait, no they aren't because you get to go home and play it immediately!

[Darragh]

I'm just gonna set my alarm for half 8 Wednesday morning, get up, have a shower, get dressed, and stroll into town at my leisure. None of this standing around in the cold in the middle of the night malarkey for me, no sir-ee.

[Lorfarius]

Or wait, no they aren't because you get to go home and play it immediately!

Aye but at about 1am when you finally get in That's no time to be playing games.

[sir stiff_one]

It is when you've booked the next 3 days off!

[Terry Tate]

But me and Stiff will have been playing it for 8 or 9 hours by that point!!!!!11

o/\o

If I get my copy from Gameplay on the Tuesday then I'll be playing very late into the night indeed.

[Terry Tate]

Looks like oxford street may be a no-go

Oxford street FAIL

[incapable hulk]

Midnight launches are fucking stupid.

Not when you work late shifts. Chances are, by the time i get up on wednesday morning...alot of people are going to have bought it already. Potentially it could be sold out (unlikely, but theres always the chance).

So for people like me, working late-midnight launches are perfect.

[spacedinvader]

Yeah really fucking stupid.

Or wait, no they aren't because you get to go home and play it immediately!

You're just as likely to be able to do that whenever you buy it really.

Why is everyone except me so wrong about everything today.

[Straps]

Frankly, with Gameplay likely delivering on Tuesday morning, midnight launches are for CHUMPS and FOOLS.

[Shindig]

Midnight launches are fucking stupid.

"YAY! I have no form of transport back to my house but I have a game I could've got tomorrow morning for less!"

[Massive Invisible Dog]

"YAY! I have no form of transport back to my house but I have a game I could've got tomorrow morning for less!"

No form of transport? Do you live in the countryside?

[Shindig]

Buses are off and you've spent your money on the game. A likely scenario.

[sir stiff_one]

You're just as likely to be able to do that whenever you buy it really.

Why is everyone except me so wrong about everything today.

So it's not stupid to buy at midnight then is it?

[sir stiff_one]

A bus??

I got a taxi home after Halo 2.

This time I might walk. Depends who I'm with.

We won't be on Oxford St though so maybe I'll wait till the morning.

[spacedinvader]

No, why would it matter what time of day you bought it? It's up to you. God today is confusing.

Word of warning...

I went to www.sonydefenseforce.com (I find the site amusing, from a 'this can't be real' perspective)

In their forum, they've posted in big letters what happens at the end of Halo 3.

So don't go there.

[Rudderless]

Everyone dies, and Master Chief is gay.

Fucking hell, it’s getting really risky. I might have to stealth out of this thread until next week.

veloS knowing Halo 3's ending? Yes, a bit risky.

[sweetdaddyg]

finally preordered at my local xtravision rental store

A taxi would massively dent my wallet. I'd rather save £10-£15 on the whole experience by being an early riser.

That forum is amazing, this is my favourite post so far:

I mean, lets be honest here. Bungie really got lucky with the Halo franchise. The only reason it ever did well because none of the xbot users had ever been exposed to a real FPS with actual multiplayer and a control scheme that didn't totally suck. Any real gamer kind of laughed at Halo when it came out because it was honestly a step BACKWARDS in the evolution of FPS gameplay yet it somehow managed to sell really well just because they found a market that had no idea about how good games could be.

Jesus..I don't think they could be any more wrong if they tried.
