That's very cool. Thank you for sharing. How did you guys know there was a midnight launch?

Oh, we weren't at a midnight launch; I think we had to camp until 7am and then the guy opening the store sold them to us first thing. Before they closed the night before, they gave us numbered slips and said that if we were still there in the morning, that was the order we could buy them in. I think our friend called around to a bunch of stores to find out who would have them at launch and sell them without pre-orders, first thing in the morning.
