it’s great news that WA is able to get in on the excitement, as WA has missed out on midnight launches since 2004. As a reminder, anyone can attend Midnight launches, but in order to be first in and first out, you need a Fast meaning that you have to have paid off your Switch 2 pre-order or be an EB World Plus member, otherwise you have to wait until all of those with a Fast have been through.
