I new for sure they needed the cash for their press, ship, and promototion... I went early figuring the upgrade price was our reward, but I like I said I'm not so happy that I'm gonna have to download a service release that came out before the first disc shipped, I understand why the CD had to press with bugs, I just wished that would offer to mail out the Service Release to those who pre-ordered... I got NO bandwidth on my connection :(
