They tell you when the expected shipping is. It also depends what type of shipping you select. It will get to you on that date unless there was a blizzard or something which may impact shipping. Check your local weather be sure there's no surprise blizzard or hurricane and you should receive it on time.

As long as you can still select "Release Day Shipping", you'll get it on the 25th. Amazon usually doesn't ship stuff until 1-2 days prior to the release date, so you probably have until Tuesday Id guess.

Other question is bestbuy giving you a special trade in value or any thing like they did for madden? I still have nba 2k15 and I don't want to order from amazon or something to only find out that I could have got it from best buy with like a $30 trade in credit or something.

I pre-ordered through digital download, so I don't have to wait on UPS or go anywhere.. This is my first time pre-ordering digitally and I'm hoping that there's an option to pre-load so it's ready to play as soon as the clock hits midnight like other games. Although, on the email I received from Sony it's says the game will be available at 9 PM, but it doesn't say what Time Zone.

Yeah I just can't go digital because I like to be able to trade in my games.

Normally I do too, but somehow I still have NBA 2K14 and 15.

I'm going to pre-order mine digital too, but I dont see a Early Tip-off addition digital code for XboxONE. I wonder if it matters, if we pre-order the standard edition if we still get the game early?
