" I think what's caused the biggest issue, is the huge amount of "release date" advertising, combined with shipment delay caused by shipping it to digital river first, and then DR shipping it to fulfill orders." Yep - to be honesttheir advertising was misleading to those who ordered the box version, one naturaly thought "ah 21st + couple of days shipping" - they didn't say anything about shipping to DR first

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
