Just came back from the New York event. It was honestly sad how little people came to this event, probably because of the weather. 40 people max. Same situation as the post above from winds, alt. artwork for game case, pins, poster were given away. Cosplayers got the key to the Songbird cage keychain that comes in the Hardcover strategy guide. Now the crazy part. They gave away a limited copy of the MIND IN REVOLT BOOK signed by Ken Levine to someone who clearly wasn't a fan so expect that on eBay. Now for the posters. The person from Irrational games in charge of the event clearly defined one poster per person and the rest will be destroyed. However, some small talk with, I think, the art director and he slipped me some extras. Sorry for my rant but I'm very excited about how today turned out. Those in contact with me via PM already are covered for.

Sorry I forgot to mention, I will see how my initial transactions play out then the extra copies I have I will post on the Items For Sale thread and on that page it will be 1st come, 1st serve. Please do not PM me now for a poster. For those just interested, I will post pics of all my goodies tomorrow.

Toronto had quite a bit of people. An original count at the beginning from one of the workers was 56 people. However that probably grew to about 120 people by nights end.

The San Fransisco Midnight Opening was busy.....

Cool Gamestop though. Has lifesize statues for Bioshock Infinite, Fallout 3, and Skyrim

Anyways got me some swag







Yes I have 2 signed posters but the spare is reserved for a potential trade

They also gave out special PS3 or Xbox cover inserts that they signed, a sticker and a button

I also got the Devs to sign the standard game insert

I wanted to try and get more posters and probably could've if I was able to wait longer but the garage I parked in would probably have closed by the time I got back to my car and that would be bad.

I would estimate around 150 people at the SF opening

Hard to gauge though as I suck at estimating

Awesome you were able to get them to sign the game insert as well! Did you have to wait extra long for them to sign that? At the Toronto one they didn't start selling the game until midnight, which is what the supposed end of the signing session was. There was a second huge lineup to buy the game which I didn't feel like waiting for (already waited an hour for the signing session). I didn't get to see if those people bought it and got theirs signed as well.

Nope I was the first person to have that brillant idea in my store from the looks of things

Devs were in no rush to leave so got them to sign it

Suprisingly a good number of people were literally just at the SF one to pick up the game and meet the devs

A lot of them didn't really care about getting signatures and such

Still I had an interesting chat with the Dev that was behind elizabeths AI

I'm really surprised how few people showed up to these. My local gamestop in tampa had well over two hundred people just waiting for borderlands 2 release then many more through out the night.

Leaving in Spain really sucks when I see those things in the US...
