Tired of all the Presidential coverage? Want to go British for a day? Activision has you covered. Best Buy and Activision have revealed plans to launch the Quantum of Solace game at midnight for players in the West Hollywood area. Beginning November 3 at 10PM, everyone and anyone is invited to celebrate the launch of the upcoming shooter which takes James Bond through Casino Royale and whatever a Quantum of Solace is. Attendees will also have a chance to score a boat load of prizes ranging from gift cards between $10 and $2,500 as well as a 52" LCD HDTV.

Also on hand will be stations where gamers can practice their hand at the latest Bond theme, "Another Way to Die" from Jack White and Alicia Keys, in Guitar Hero: World Tour. The Bond theme will soon be made available as downloadable content for World Tour but no timing or price has been confirmed at this time.

Not near West Hollywood? Best Buy has revealed 136 other locations will be open at midnight for the launch sans giveaways.

Another Way to Die is the worst Bond theme song ever. I can't believe it was approved!

Also, you made a quick typo in the article "Activiision has you covered."

I'm actually looking forward to this one. I think a lot of people don't know that this game is built on the COD4 engine(that's a perk for me).
