Just been speaking to mr house...
He says the platinum chip was made in october 22nd 2077
The game was released on october 22nd...
Coincidence?
i think not...

If you have to put "Spoilers" as a warning in your thread title... it should probably go in the spoilers forum. I moved it for you.

The bombs fell on October 22 as well. I'd say that would be a marketing prep or conicidence but I am pretty sure the game was released on the 19th... in north america at least.
