Just picked up my copy on my way home. I heard rumours that the game was delayed and I might not be able to get it before the 25th. But since my local retailer was on my way home I thought I'd stop by just to check and see if it was in. AND IT WAS! =) The guy at the counter told me he had received a couple of copies for the guys that had pre-ordered and since I placed my order a couple of days ago I was one of the lucky to bring a copy home with me. Love it!
