I'm cutting EB some slack since this seems to be the situation with all US retailers. The only people who seem to have copies in the US right now are those that ordered overnight from the UBI store.
That's not quite true. Several posters here in the forum have gotten their copies at Gamestop, even one person picked it up at Target. Target!? Come on!

I'm just irrated because the orginal launch date of the 13th was push back to make a "World Wide Release" date, so it got pushed back to the 20th. Now I'm being told my pre-order (paid in full, because I guess I'm a sucker) won't be in till Friday. That would make it a whole week later than some of the people from Europe on here recieved it (no ill will toward those lucky folks). I guess the thing I'm happy about is I didn't take an "sick time" off of work today...
