What is really sad and shortsighted: people reviewing this for the major magazines (and some outlets, like Gamespot) will be required to review the "out of the box" version. So, for example, my review for Games for Windows (previously known as Computer Gaming World) will have to be of the 1.0 version, with all of the issues that come with that version. If they were able to patch this thing within a week, they would have been SO much better off holding off for a week and releasing the updated version. The reviews/review scores would surely be a lot better. Ugh.
