         Adelaide’s midnight launch is actually at 6pm because we’re all tucked into bed and asleep by 10pm 😛

            Us primitive South Australians fear the night time monsters and must hide in our caves until sunrise.

            I should point out seeing as Kotaku couldn’t, that there will be a midnight launch at EB WESTFIELD MARION SHOPPING CENTRE. So yeah if you have a pre-order there make sure your getting down, if you don’t have a pre-order there go and get one…

   Pretty much a given that the main launch would be at the Swanston Street store.. i mean they have an entire level and a half dedicated to Nintendo alone… “The Nintendo experience”

   I mean, can you imagine how much they would be paying EB to have that? Especially right smack bang in the middle of the CBD on the busiest part of Swanston Street…

   Surprised that there’s on in WA. Not that it matters, I can wait til morning. Or more specifically I can wait until there’s games out for it that I want. 🙂

   @boomtish, you deserve to get robbed if you got robbed by EBGames for $350.

    I love living in Tasmania, where you get left off the map for all events that matter. Sigh. Maybe we and NT should form some sort of republic

    Midland… Random bloody location for a midnight launch. That’s quite close to me but I already pre-ordered across town near work, and it’s far too much hassle to switch location so I’ll be waiting until 8.

    Screw the launch parties, at midnight head to your local kmart that’s open 24hrs. Nearly no waiting time at all.
