I am not ordering my at any site. I intend on buying in the store when it is released. I have never seen a game come out sporadically like you are suggestion. It wouldn't be cost effective for UBI to release a game like that. Games go gold, are sent for reproduction, and then they are massively reproduced to go out to all the retailers at once. They may do a second and third reproduction run if necessary several months from now. Amazon will get its main order all at once.

I doubt Silent Hunter 4 is being sent out like this. Amazon is specifically saying that this game's "Release" date is March 20, meaning it won't be available for anyone until March 20.
