SKYRIM ELDER SCROLLS MIDNIGHT LAUNCH PHOTOS AT GAME OXFORD ST

Hundreds of Elder Scrolls fans, many dressed in costumes inspired by the game, wait in the snow outside GAME Oxford St, which opened its doors at midnight for customers to pick up their copies of the series’ hotly anticipated new title; Skyrim.

Tristram O’Brien, aged 22 from Kilburn, buys the first copy of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at the midnight launch at GAME Oxford St. The fan was in line since Wednesday morning.

Fanatical Skyrim fan Joe Tremain (right), aged 20 from Romford, won an Xbox 360 and a collector’s edition of the game for the best cosplay outfit at GAME’s midnight launch last night. He and his friends had made their outfits while waiting in queue, using cardboard found outside the shop next door.
