How in the hell did so many places get the release date so wrong?

It happens, can't be right all the time. I've had this problem with other games before, but tomorrow it should be at all the Gamestop's. From what I know and the Gamestop guys told me

Well, some of us lucky brits should be getting an early delivery from Game (I think that's where the premium price comes from! )

Wait, does that mean the servers will be crippled like with every new release?

They get a shipping manifest the night before to tell them what's arriving, so I am about to call them to see if I need to burn down the store or not. It says that it's shipping on their website, so if they got it wrong it's going to be bad times for Gamestop.

What servers ?, I can only think of a few console games that use servers. (MMORPG's and Battlefield etc)

A PS3/X360 will be the server, it's shoddy networking code in the games that causes problems not the non-existent servers.

Section 8 uses dedicated servers. What happens most of the time with games is that the host doesn't have a very strong connection and it drags the game down. The other scenario is that you start getting people into the game that refuse to pay the extra $5 a month for faster internet, their lag translates into everybody's lag. Hawx was terrible about that. Everybody would be doing great, laughing, killing, then some guy would come into the room and start jumping around the sky like he was in a damned x-wing, getting all kinds of kills because nobody could see him, then boom, server closed.

Don't feel bad. You don't know EVERYTHING. You're not Jesus either.

Yeah that remark got old REAL fast, in my opinion.

I had just finished replacing those rivets I mentioned earlier when I got this phone message from, ...guess who? That's right, Ashley! Tomorrow people and my flight chair is sitting true.

OK, now we have issues. I haven't received my traditional Gamestop call. Then, I checked online for the copy that I ordered for a friend and it goes from bad to weird. The tshirt has been sent, but it is saying that BoP is "backordered." You can't have a game backordered on the release date unless they completely screwed up the release date to begin with. People will now be made to suffer.
