If you're a retailer that sells video games, chances are pretty good that you'll be holding a midnight launch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Well, as it turns out, Blockbuster is no exception.
The video rental chain will be hosting launch events on November 9, starting at 9:00 P.M. at select locations. The event will feature a pre-release game demo, as well as giving those who attend the opportunity to rent, purchase, or win Infinity Ward's soon-to-be blockbuster of its own.
Hit the jump to see if your local Blockbuster is participating, and if you end up going, take pictures for us. We like pictures.

Of course I'm assuming they have the money to do all that.
This is just an exercise in futility in a time RedBox, Netflix and Gamefly have given customers a better deal. Its also why internet service providers are so intent on capping bandwidth - they just never imagined the internet would get better than the other services they were providing.
