But the release at the Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre in Brisbane's western suburbs, was marred by three security guards on duty to control some 30 anxious customers who were waiting for the witching hour to obtain their long awaited prize for a ripoff $120.
Outside the EB Games store, there are seats for customers located about 15 metres on either side of the store.
One parent who needed a breather for the 90 minute wait for his son to get his game decided to take a seat.
"Stop. You can't go there," roared the officious security guard.
"Why," the poor hen-pecked chap responded.
It was a decision by Centre Management the guard thundered.
But it was OK to sit on the other seat, an equal distance from the store - but not the first one.
Has the world gone completely crazy!
But the customer couldn't sit on the seat suggested by the security guard because a woman was flat out asleep across the whole seat.
That didn't seem to worry the security guard who couldn't seem to grasp the illogicality and stupidity of not allowing weary parents and potential purchasers to use both seats.
Then the parent enquired if he could take a photo of the store front with his son outside with his long-awaited purchase.
"No, that's contrary to AMP policy as well. They won't allow pictures of stores to be taken," the security guard roared.
Now, either the guard was smoking opium or AMP Capital Centre Management at Mt Ommaney are the worst centre managers in Australia.
Two seats - but you can sit on only one of them!
And very sorry, you cannot take a picture of your child outside the EB Games store on what was to be the happiest night of their life.
Denied a picture by a cruel and heartless Centre Management!
Whoever is in charge at AMP Capital Centre Management Mt Ommaney should be given the Royal Order of the Boot if the security guard's allegations are true.
And if the Little Hitler security guard's claims are not true - she should be given free membership for a year of Actors' Equity!
