I have been following videogame release dates very, very closely for a very long time. This is absolutely 100% legit. If Gamestop changes a release date THIS CLOSE TO RELEASE it is always 100% legit.

You will either have the game in on Sept 2nd or Sept 3rd depending on where you live. If you preorder at Gamestop they will give you a automated call ahead of time telling you when the game will arrive at your store.

The stores where I live it is almost always the morning after the ship date, but in some parts of the country stores will get the game on the ship date.

Right on.... good sheat. Although the last game I preordered they told me they were going to call.....I never got a call. I just walked in myself. I'll be going in on the 2nd, if it ends up being the 3rd no biggie....if it ends up being the 8th, I'm going to be POed!!! j/k

Moving this game up is one of the smartest business decisions that has ever been made for the 360. Pushing a game back generally creates disgust and kills off a lot of interest, but you move a game up and you are the new Messiahs of the gaming world. Based on the demo, it's a great game and it will weed out the little kids fast. I am a pilot, and I put the planes in the demo through a series of tests in terms of flight control. Needless to say, they have an extremely accurate model for low-wing aircraft.

Actually it is NOT a good business decision to wait til ONLY 2 WEEKS BEFORE RELEASE, and then bump the game up 6 days. Read the 2 posts below your to find out why. That is just too close to release to be bumping up the date.

I JUST took off from work on September 8th so I could play this game ALL day. NOW it's September 2nd!?!?!?

Well that ruins my plans, was going to wait for my next paycheck to come in, now its coming in before my paycheck! Hope I didn't spend my wohle paycheck in 4 days..

Also another thing is some people who are interested in the game may not find out about the release date change in time. This could cause them to miss the game, and end up skipping it altogeather.

Oh Dennis, once again you grace us with your superior knowledge of the marketing world. Moving the game forward by a week was a stroke of genius! (thank you for that BTW). But now they are moving it forward by 6 days! (why that is not an exact week, how will my OCD deal with such a puzzle!!!???). Inexcusable!..next they will tell me that I can't eat at the same resturaunt for breakfast everyday at exactly 7:30 (and my table better be vacant or heads will roll!!!).
I know all of these schedule changes are taking thier toll (and we can't have the chairman of game release dates stressed or we may never see another title). So here is something to keep your enormous brain busy untill you wait for the games release (whatever day that might be).

Bet you can't guess what it is. Come one now, break out that oversized crayon & go to work little fella. By the time your done the game will be on your doorstep.

Yippie friggin' dee.

It just so happens that I have the 3rd & 4th off work, and the 7th is Labor Day. Five days with not much to do. Oh what ever shall I do?

Watch College Football. The College Football season starts Sept 3rd, and there is 5 straight days of college football 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.

I am a huge college football fan, and may not get BOP on release because of that.

I thought you were all about getting the game on the release day, not a week or couple days after.
