Less than one week away! This guide will ensure that you have the best Brawling experience this Sunday.

Midnight Release
Numerous locations have said they will sell the game at midnight, so you can begin Brawling as soon as possible:
GameStop has a list of locations that will sell Brawl at midnight. They are also holding pre-release tournaments.
Best Buy also has posted a directory of its locations that will open at midnight just to sell Brawl.
SamsClub is even reported to be selling the game at midnight, and may have Wiis in stock too.
You should also ask your local 24 hour store, like WALMART, if they will have the game at midnight and get a preorder.
My local Walmart doesn't get the game till Tuesday!

Deals
Theres nothing better than getting the hottest game at launch AND saving some coin. Here are the current known deals:
Circuit City is offering a $10 gift card with pre-order.
Toys R Us is supposedly offering 50% off select Wii games with purchase of Brawl. So you can get Zack and Wiki for $15.
SamsClub is selling the game for $43.66
GameStop is selling Brawl for $9.99 with trade in of two select Wii games. Scroll down on this page to see the list of valid games.
GameStop is also offering 20% bonus on your trade in toward Brawl. (Super Mario Galaxy current gets you $30 + 20% = $36)
Amazon.com won't charge you sales tax (in most states) or shipping. And if you order it from them with this link, a few bucks will be donated to digibutter!

Digibutter Tournament
Win 2000 Wii points or a VC game of your choice! This first tournament will begin soon after launch (North American players only please)

I had to drop the Europeans from the tournament since it will be months before they get the game. (Sorry ChaosStar, Dark Paratroopa, LvKeulen, Pluslei, Sind, smashbro, and Zelnor). So there are 8 open spots right now! I want the tournament to begin as soon as possible, so send me a PM if you don't think you will have the game within a few weeks after launch and I'll see what I can do. Discuss the tournament here.

Game Info
For more info about Brawl than you could ever want, check out our Super Smash Bros. Brawl forum (warning, it is filled with spoilers!)

Wow. All those deals, and yet I already paid for my copy in full. Maybe I'll join the Digibutter Tournament, if I fail in the Local Tournament at the GameStop on Saturday.

Also, at Gamestop, if you trade in 2 Wii games, you get Brawl for $9.99 and if you reserve the guide ahead of time, you get the game 10% off.

[Super Scourge]

Do anyone know the exact release date for Brawl in Europe

[Aggrieved]

I'd order it from Amazon just to help Digibutter out, but I've already preordered my copy from GameStop.

[Super Scourge]

I´ll get angry if Gamestop doesn´t put up a tournament in Norway too.

[Lord Krump]

Cool news; I heard about this when I went to check if my pre-order at Gamestop was still in the system (I'm sort of paranoid about that kind of stuff.) All of the commotion makes me feel glad that I paid a small portion of the price in advance. Buh huh huh...

[Super ShadowArticuno]

I'll probably get owned, but losing is half the fun!

... Or more likely all of the fun for me.

[Tyler]

Dammit I hope I can go at midnight.

[Francis]

My local Super Walmart doesn't get the game till Tuesday!
I'm probably going to do the midnight launch at SamsClub, even though they won't let me pre-order.

[Super Cyber Mario]

I'm going to the midnight release at GameStop. Hopefully with Creepy.

[Paper_Waluigi]

I'd go to the midnight release, but my parents would kill me, the closest Gamestop is hours away, and I'd probably have to camp outside the store for hours which is ridiculous. I'm getting a call from Blockbuster when they get it in... hopefully.

[Plastic Mario]

I've preordered from Sears. They have a midnight release, but iunno if it's just the one near me.

[Count_Bleck]

I don't get a midnight release.
But gamestop open earlier than usual.

[Super ronery pirrow]

Damn Europe.
