First EBgames/Gamestop said midnight Tuesday launch party, then it was 10:30 am Wednesday shipment, then 5pm Wednesday shipment (automated corporate voicemail sent to pre-order customers).

And now...they send out a corporate automated message to numerous pre-orders on the East Coast stating "sometime Thursday".

Called Ebgames...statement was "Fedex didn't ship 70% of GOW from Memphis".

Called 3-4 other local big name stores, and they said Nov 9th. Looks to me that there is absolutely NO reason to buy from EBgames. Cancelling pre-order...done with those jokers...

NOTE TO EPIC and MICROSOFT - This is why you release the game on one single day...nobody, and I mean nobody, gains from "Emergence Week". Marketing was foolish by not following the Halo 2 launch guidelines, IMO...
