    Not picking it up until I know the game is stable and I know that I'm not going to get shoved into a logon queue as well as yanked out mid-mission to again be shoved into the logon queue. No game is worth that, ever.

    I only have $5 invested in it and that's all they're getting. They better extend the grace period for the release key by about 2 months. I pre-ordered to get into the head-start and so far that has been nothing but a gigantic headache.

    Sounds like you won't be picking it up, they only hold the game for 2 days, then they will sell it to whoever comes in wanting to buy one. Have fun somewhere else.

    My girlfriend will be getting it off the porch when the delivery guy rings the doorbell. I just paid for overnight shipping so I don't have to go get it.

    Yea there are some serious fines for breaking street date. A Best buy near me broke street date for some super mario game, the store got hit with a $10,000 fine.

    GameStop is pretty strict about obeying the SD. I know the pre-orders already made it to the store. I'll pick mine up tomorrow morning.

    I'm camping outside the store.

    EDIT: In other words, 10am.
