I think it's highly likely that this game will be released in the middle of March. But what's the frenzy about pre-ordering? The smart thing to do is pre-order the game via a link that I'm sure Neal will post on this site at the appropriate time.
No need to go rushing off to other sites in the hope of getting the game delivered faster. If you pre-order through this Forum, you'll get the game delivered to you as fast as you would from anywhere else and you'll be supporting our Forum.
