GAME offering PS4 and Xbox One launch night queue jumps

[Skiver Veteran]

Pre-pay for your next-gen console at GAME and you'll get a fast-track ticket for launch night that will let you skip the standard queue.

 

Customers who pay off their console before launch day will be allowed to enter a "fast lane" to quickly exchange their ticket for their shiny new game gubbins and avoid a wait in the cold.

GAME has begun emailing customers with details of the offer, as spotted by NeoGAFand XboxOneForums.

You'll be able to pre-pay for your Xbox One on the 20th and 21st November to quickly pick it up on the night of 22nd November.

PlayStation 4 customers can do the same on 27th and 28th November ahead of Sony's big launch.

Alternatively, you can place the value of your pre-order onto a GAME gift card from 10th - 19th November for a quick redemption on launch night.

GAME is also suggesting you bring along any games or accessories you want to trade in when you pre-pay. Trading in three or more items will net an extra 20 per cent value which can be used against your console payment.

I was just searching earlier for details on picking up the console, I have some stuff I wanted to trade in to go towards the XB1 and was planning on doing this the week before so this just gives me a specific day to do it :)

To be honest as long as they now how to work the machine to let me pay... who cares!

 

I'm using them because I wanted to be able to pick up the console rather than rely upon a delivery service.
