Agree on the wait-and-see: I think a lot more people will do that next year.
The catch-22 is that if that DOES happen, volume will be down on their servers, so we won't really know if the issues are "fixed." I can see those holding off buying a week or so in, the servers getting slammed, and the same crap all over again...
Pulled a Tanaka, some Breakout pitcher, and 2 gold equipment in the packs. Whatever...
