GAME (the largest retailer of video games in the UK for those who don’t know) are holding launch events from 6pm to 9pm where they will be officially selling Super Mario Galaxy a day early and also dishing out some Nintendo and Super Mario themed goodies, one of which includes an umbrella! This event will be held at the following stores…

• London: Oxford Street
• Manchester: Trafford
• Birmingham: Bullring
• Glasgow: Sauchehall street
• Gateshead: Metro centre
• Cardiff: Queen street
• Belfast: Donegail arcade
• Dublin: Dawson street

There will also be some cosplay going down at the events, with a free copy of Super Mario Galaxy going to the best cosplayer.

I may actually attend the Oxford street event, seeing as I have this Thursday off of work, have a couple of friends who work within that area whom I could meet up with and I actually need to start some Christmas shopping. I swore after attending the official UK Wii launch (which also took place at Oxford street) that I’d never attend a launch gig again. But seeing as this one is at a socialable hour and I can make a complete day of it – I’ll take the bait. Plus, I want a damn umbrella. I lost my last one at Uni. So I’m hoping to snag a cool new one for free. When you live in the UK you should never turn up a chance at a free umbrella. It rains 11 months of the year over here.
