GameStop today announced that a number of its more than 1,800 stores will have midnight openings on March 24 for the launch of the PSP.

"The PSP, along with all accessories and hot titles available at launch, will be available for purchase during these midnight openings; and GameStop anticipates that pre-order customers and gaming enthusiasts alike will be in attendance, as past experience from midnight launches of systems and hot titles has repeatedly proven successful," said Jack Beuttell, Senior Vice President Marketing and Merchandising. "Most of the stores participating in these openings will feature gaming tournaments, promotional giveaways and have an all-out party atmosphere where avid video gamers can enjoy themselves while waiting to purchase this system, unparalleled in features because of its portability, 16:9 aspect ratio and color screen resolution of 480 by 272 pixels."
