Midnight launches for games are a common occurrence in the West but sadly India hasn’t seen one till date. All that is about to change tonight as Game4u - for the first time ever - launches a game at midnight. And yes, the game at hand is Gran Turismo 5, which I know is the reason many of you bought your PlayStation 3.

It's almost here

The midnight launch is going down at their Game4u store located in Mega Mall, Oshiwara so all you need to do is get your butts there by 12.00 AM sharp. By doing so not only will you get the game before all your friends but you stand to score a free collector’s edition as well. Oh that’s right. There will be some sort of competition taking place over there and if you happen to have the best lap time, you stand to win the Collector’s Edition of the game that’ll include:

A 300-page guide to cars and racing techniques
GT-branded key chain
Voucher for five (5) DLC cars

In addition to this, second and third runner ups can win a copy of the game as well so drop everything and make a beeline for their store – in the next 6 hours that is.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
