If everything went well they may have made a March release, but it didn't.

I thought the 25th was given as a solid date, or do you mean that they made changes after they gave out the 25th date to the games industry? Doesnt really make sence to do it that way round, by that I mean if you keep tweaking and tweaking all the way till the date your game is ment to go gold couldnt that just go on indefinately? Besides apparently it went gold last week according to a russian games site.
