Mine neither. And I have work from 11:30-7, meaning I'm not gonna get to playing it til late Sunday night. Oh well.

So I've been looking into this game and it seems it lacks any form of a final dungeon? What's up with that?

Well, my Gamestop isn't having a midnight launch.

Huh!?, how come they won't have a midnight release!?, I find that crazy...I really do, I mean my gamestop Is Releasing It at midnight, Oh well thats too bad jared , but you can get it in the morning though.

Well Its almost 4-PM here where I live not long to go now, At 11:20 Pm I leave to go wait in a giant line to get my game, *woot,
I really hope the line is not crazy, like at the sonic generations release (<_<v), oh well it'll be worth it at least!,

And @Pokemonmaster64: Really no form of a final dungeon?, I find that hard to believe, all Zelda games have a final dungeon.

Well that's kind of vague wording. I mean, technically, Majora's Mask didn't have a final dungeon. BUT, the Stone Tower, the last "normal" dungeon, was the last dungeon of the game, and really, it felt like a final dungeon, and it sure challenged you like a final dungeon. So really, it was the final dungeon, and it's probably the greatest final dungeon of the series. So I'd take the "SS has no final dungeon" bit with a grain of salt.

My Gamestop is doing a midnight launch!! CANNOT WAIT!! I will be posting impressions here soon by the third temple.

I was going to buy this at the day it was released here in Sweden, and that was on Friday (2 days ago) but instead I'll get it for Christmas. Reading about this game made me want to do a drawing of the skyward Link.

I consider the moon to be the final dungeon of MM because of the masked children that take you to little dungeon segments. It's kinda like Wind Waker's final dungeon except optional and with no annoying tower section (and no boss refights but MM already had those in the dungeon entrance rooms to begin with).
For SS's final area:

Spoiler

You go through a sort of grassy spiral area. I want to say it's the same place you previously fought the big mouthdragon thingy, but I'm not sure because I haven't watched a full walkthrough yet (I'm probably skipping this one because what I've seen hasn't impressed me: I think it's gonna suck). Anyways, so you go down this grassy spiral hill fighting off hordes of goofy looking cellda monsters and also you're fenced in by magical walls (Girahim stole Zant's orange wall magic! ) and occasionally have to kill some bigger enemies to proceed. I want to say it reminds me of a certain section of God of War II before you fight Clothos, but I won't because God of War is pretty much all about killing lots of enemies and should never be compared to Zelda no matter how low Zelda happens to stoop. So then you get to the center and confront Girahim who has Zelda and he basically goes pissy boss mode and turns orange and proceeds to be very silly and engage you in a battle with platforms and giant swords or some s*** (it's a lot less epic than it sounds). BUT OMGZZ YOU'RE TOO LATE. And Zelda's soul gets eaten by the big mouthdragon who becomes the true final boss and actually the mouthdragon has a name like The Imprisoned or something but hell if I remember and the true final boss is also named Demise and turns Girahim into a sword in the most uncomfortable way possible. So you kill him with lightning or something and he gives you the Ganon curse and the world is saved. Yay.

It really tries to be epic. It really does, but it isn't. This game's finale is a letdown possibly big enough to make me give up on Zelda Classic even.

Spoiler

What's the point of killing Ganon a million times if he's just the aftereffect of some other guy?

So there. There's your goddamn spoiler tags so I could spoil everything without spoiling everything.

HAPPY SKYWARD SWORD!!!!!!!!

[The Satellite]

Woah s***, it's that date in my timezone. Eh, I'll try to pick it up between 12-1PM. Probably play it between the Bengals game since there's no way I'll be able to restrain myself.

[Moonbread]

Getting it after work. And I'm considering not going on a trip down to Georgia just so I can actually freaking play it. I know my family will pull the "It's just a game," but to me, it's just a game I've been waiting years for and paid $70 for. And the people we're going to visit I'll just see on Thanksgiving anyway.

[Tree]

I gotta get to the f***ing gamestop!(To bad I'm broke) This day is like the day gaming will change forever. Anyone who gets it tonight is one lucky bastard -_-

[Jared]

I gotta wait until noon, but I am so grateful, my parents are paying the extra $30, getting me the remote

[Shane]

Well, I hope no one is going to spoiler anything outside this thread, some of us is still waiting you know?

[Neppy]

Well, my Gamestop isn't having a midnight launch.

Mine isn't either... Most likely because it's in the mall... Oh well, less than 12 hours until I pick it up! YAY!
