It says a lot about you when you stay up late at midnight and queue up in a mall that’s closed, just to be among the first in the country to get your copy of the game. Midnight launch is rather normal these days, as we’ve seen many have already adapted this culture. I won’t comment on those that camp outside Apple few days before the launch of the iPhone 4 thought, as that’s classified as extreme enthusiasts.

The Xbox 360 wasn’t officially launched in Malaysia, but hopefully it will, soon, as we can see the huge turnout for this event organized by a famous game store called Gamer’s Hideout. They’ve organized a midnight launch event for the much-anticipated Halo: Reach at their shop lot located in Tropicana City Mall in Petaling Jaya. Check out the photos below.

The peeps who don’t need to sleep.

Jason of Gamer’s Hideout showed off the Halo: Reach t-shirt, given to each pre-order customers.

“How does it feel playing yourself, Master Chief?”

Btw, don’t you think the other guy’s helmet is kinda small? Looks awkward.

Anyway, head over here for more photos.
