3DS Midnight Openings: In Pictures

Eager gamers were queuing down Oxford Street last night in the hopes of being among the first to purchase a Nintendo 3DS.

The official midnight opening was held at HMV, where the stars of the 3DS Launch Party – including Plan B, Parade and Street Fighter creator Yoshinori Ono – took to the stage in-store.

Just a few doors down, GAME held its own midnight opening, featuring an appearance from radio presenter Iain Lee.
