BEST BUY IN CHICAGO (North Ave) CANCELLED their midnight launch!
:(
(Sad Face)
They posted flyers up on the automatic doors and I double-checked with the customer service people- they said come back tomorrow at 10am. Pretty ridiculous that they'd be on a list of only 12 stores and not do a launch. Anyone planning to hike out there will be sorely disappointed...
