why would you be on the forums and not get the game release day? I pre-ordered  my copy 2 months ago......
^ This.
Though Gamestop was offering pre-orders for the game the day after it was announced in February at the VGA's... so I've had my copy reserved for 7 months now.  lol  Then when the CE wass announce on August 5th (my B-Day btw, how cool is that?!), since I pre-ordered it so da** early they upgraded my pre-order to the CE for free.
So I have the CE already paid off, I just have to pick it up at midnight.  I loves my Gamestop.  lol
