A short while ago, I received the following e-mail from Gamestop:

90 Minutes later, I'm back home with the game for PC and a guide, will be playing soon, thanks to Best Buy. They even put it on hold at customer service for me (45 min one-way drive lol). Never will pre-order again.

Stuff like this is why I preorder and pick it up in the store at midnight

Well i got mine lastnight at midnight on the 11th along with 75+ ppls waiting in line. Most of them were teenager boys, few girls and few advlts. Around 75% were Xbox 360, 20% PS3 and the rest are PC in Clifton Park, NY.
