I know it’s something like 4 months away, but does anyone know if there’s going to be a “midnight launch” for [the video game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game)? Would be cool to get a bunch of UK Busters staking out HMV or Game!! ---

I once bought Madden during a midnight release. I’ve never heard of other games doing it, but I’ll be in line if they do this for Ghostbusters. ---

Hiya My friend Rich and I are in talks at the moment with Atari’s promo team and we are hoping to put together a BIG promo in London. Idea devised by Rich we are hoping to start off with a meet and greet with punters who are buying the game at our very own stall setup in London’s HMV near oxford circus after this a press call outside hoping to get some tv people there as well. After this we will do some fun filming we want to get someone to film a few of us running around London and doing the dance to Ghostbusters theme in Trafalgar Sq where we will deffinatly have pics of us taken by tourists and if we can give them leaflets to buy the game etc then put all the footage into a montage to the GB theme. We hope also to get ECTO 1. Also we hope to do a little tour promoting the game in shopping centres around the UK. Anyone ineterstead pm me and I will get down your information and put you on the list. Lisa/Rich ---

> [@UK Ghostbuster 89](#): > > Well as you already know im in. > > so you are trying to get a Ecto, a caddy or a fan 1? From what Lisa said in the PM she sent me, the one Activision/Sony got built for promotion that appeared at [Play.com](http://Play.com) Live. Lisa, in answer to your question, this is the way I was able to contact him after I met him: [Dream Cars - Contact](http://www.dreamcars.co.uk/home/) I don’t know if I can commit to anything in promotion, at the moment I don’t even have any equipment. ---

I don’t know if the highstreet stores will open at midnight to sell it as the game may not be popular enough to warrent paying staff a time and a half to call them in. However just pop down to a 24 hr Tesco or Asda. Thats what I do for midnight releases. ---

ill probably get dropped of, or ill take the train, but getting on the underground with a [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), is bad. if your fussy on the whole bad thing, its because youll probably end up breaking the pack ---

For people far away and if they can be really bothered, you could try a coach? National Express etc. Your gear should be safe. I don’t know… Personally I’ll probably drive. Don’t forget the Congestion Charge and severe costs of parking and lack of. Still, it’s a long way off yet. Enough time to sort something out! ---

CHALK ME UP! I am very lucky as my sister is a teacher and lives in London. I am sure she would accomadate me for a few days. I can do any day/time. Being a part of something like this would be a privelage. I might even have my own ECTO by then … ---

Lolz, “wait a minute, wait a minute, hey hey hey, hold it! Now are we actually going before a federal judge and say that some awesome nineteen eighties computer games publisher is gonna drop in on central park west and start distributing GBTVG!?” (it’s the best I could come up with :P) ~gbinuk ---
