Default Are you going to wait or buy it on day 1?

(Sorry, I might be addicted to polls)

Based on the many responses to TDK's thread titled "This time I'll wait...", I was curious on how many will wait and how many will purchase SH5 on day one.

I'll get the voting started with "Wait".

I think most people who say they'll wait will end up buying it sooner or later, so why bother wait in the first place?

Yeah, I'll more than likely buy it eventually, but I'm waiting for any issues to be resolved first, if any. I really hope there aren't very many problems and everything works relatively smoothly. But remember the stories about SH4. How many patches in the first year?

By the looks of it SH5 will be one of the few titles I anticipate enough to buy right off the bat, probably pre-order. It'd have to get some really really poor previews to change this. The two previous cases with the anticipation rating this high were OFP and Arma2, so we aren't talking about an everyday occurence here

When it comes out, SUPPORT THE FRANCHISE!
If everyone 'waits' then there will be no SH6.

I will be forced to suffer and have to wait, while reading here on the forums, how great it is!!!

I'm more than sure I won't have enough computer to be able to run it properly.

Maybe Santa can get me a new computer!!!

This poll is useless without an option for pre-orders.

This time I think I will want to check it out from the start.
I did a few minor mods for sh3, maybe 5 will stir up some creativity, or teamwork.
