Don't pull the trigger. I did it twice in the PS2 days and always had a retail copy before and returned the EA Store one.

Just not worth it.

Last year I pre-ordered from WalMart and got the game on the Friday before Tuesdays release. I'm sure this was a fluke but I'm going to try the same thing this year.

Walmart is a good idea because there so big they dont follow the rules when the game arrives at the store they will start selling it, even before the release date. Usually a day or 2 early.

I'm glad some of you had positive experiences with EA, but I have been burned twice by the EA store. Once I got NBA Live 2002 almost a week after it was in the store, but at least I had NBA 2K2 until then. I also pre-ordered NCAA 07 with overnight shipping, but on Wednesday morning the game still was not here. I called EA support, and was told that pre-ordering only guarantees that I will get a copy. I will NEVER order directly from them again.

Man, I'll be highly upset if that happens.

Me too. What will I do until I get the game? Luckily I have The Show and GTA IV to keep me entertained....but I can't wait for the game. I guess I'll have to just wait with baited breath until it arrives.

That would totally suck...kinda stupid how you order from EA itself and yet you get it far pass the street release date...bunch of bull if you're asking me....
