Just like last year...and the year before that. The stores get this thing in EARLY so everyone has it on the nationally advertised "In Stores July 17th" date.

Some will score the game early, and many will hunt to no avail, and others will bitch and moan about how since certain stores broke the street date, everyone should be selling it.

I'm sure this will all happen next year too.

Yup...we'll all be dead and gone in the year 2082 when NCAA 2083 hits and this will still be going on..

I'm sure EA loves it too.

Think of all the buzz created by everybody searching for this game these next 2 weeks. There are tons of people trying to get this game early.

It's madness I tell you.

Yep, exactly the intention of having a launch day that is official and not just a "sell it whenever you get it and want to sell it".

The good news is they told me they will also do a midnight for NCAA. They originally weren't but are now..

So how late will you be up playing then? I'm predicting i'll be able to stay up till about 5am or so before I will need sleep..

if you plan it correctly, you will just be getting up at 11pm to shower and get your gaming on. play until atleast 8pm the next day.
