Let's face it; Ubisoft is just capitalizing on a fairly smart marketing strategy. They get everyone in a frenzy, limit or keep somewhat mum on information regarding the game, limit full blown reviews of the game, wait to open up forum boards, and coordinate release dates worldwide! I would not be surprised if we dont start seeing activity, i.e. reviews a day or two prior to the 20th. They get everybody worked up so that all they start thinking about is the game, and then the next thing you know pre-order sales start going up, and we all start rushing to Wal-Mart the day it hit's the shelves! I would have promoted the 'culprit' at UBI who got the shipping dates mixed-up.
It's about the buck, stupid!
I miss Dynamix!
