yes he can bro your welcome

no you dont need to pre-order to get it at midnight

Game stop holds pre-ordered copies for 48-hours after it realeases.

It depends on the store. Go to the store and ask, or call.

Zir wrote I'm wondering because I pre ordered Black Ops 2 but I'm going with a friend at midnight and he's going to pick up the game for me, but just in case they don't let him pick it up because its not on his account would he be able to buy a copy that wasn't pre ordered when we're at the midnight release? +rep to best answer thanks!

Well considering that they only have limited quantities and depending on where you live (small town/big city) and how many people will be there you just need to use a bit of estimation.

Depends on the store. Don't be like me who went to a gamestop that was pre-order pickups only for the midnight release for BO1. I'd ask an employee/call in and find out.

i wouldnt chance it by going without asking an employee first. i bet they run out from all the pre-orders and others before that did not pre-order. if your town is big you shouldnt have a problem tho, like 100k people or more, and if there is more than one gamestop in your town you should be fine, but asking an employee is the only way to continue; you like my run on sentence?????????????????????

no you can get them within 48 hours of the release or else they sell it to someone else i am wanting to lay away a xbox halo 4 bundle

Your friend may get it for you, if he is over 18 of course.

For MW3, my friend gave me his reciept an his GameStop PowerUps card and I went to midnight release with his card/reciept and my card/reciept. Went to the counter and and got his copy and my copy of MW3. So yes, just give him the reciept and your card and you will be fine.
