I think you're confused on the difference between a release date and a ship date. 3/20/07 is the ship date. Meaning that it ships out today if you ordered it online. Since the fastest shipping option you can do is overnight, you'll get it on the release date which is 3/21/07 which is the same as if you went down to your local retailer and bought it in person.

Games are always released for actual in-store purchase on Wednesdays. Remember that and you'll be fine.

I got my "It's shipped. Here's your tracking number" email from Ubi today. Checking the tracking number, it left on the 19th from Illinois, was enroute today and should be in Cleveland tonight for delivery tomorrow. Thing I love is that I had used only standard shipping.

Of course, I have a big presentation Thursday night so I'll be in front of my computer late the next fews days .... only not playing SH4
