Quote - I couldn't care less about the hype of pre-ordering or such.

I don't care about the hype either... in fact i put in my pre-order before i even read the "hype"

Quote - I recall the same sort of things with P5 and P6, AND the hassles and complaints that spewed forth when folks actually GOT their copies..all the flames about what a shitty product it was,

I wasnt around for the p5 launch but i was for the p6. as i recall i saw few complaints spewed forth when P6 was released. In fact i seem to recall P5SR4 (the one that made it as stable as it would ever be) got far more complaints than P6. thats not to say p6 was without flaws. i just dont remember a mass hysteria over how it was broken and unusable.

Most of the complaints i remember about P6 was that the download and disks were released the same day, however the disks were shipped to the distriubter (which took a week) and then distributed from there at whatever shipping rate you paid for. so if you paid for overnight shipping you still had to wait a week after the release date before it was overnighted to you.
