Except at every launch people get screwed by the norm.
Amazon usually ships the day before for whatever reason(I assume to avoid getting it early). This has cost me twice this year when my stuff didn't arrive on release day. It sucks when your looking forward to something and the one free month of prime they try to offer doesn't really help the situation
Someone will always get screwed. Nothing ever happens 100% perfect. The vast majority however don't get screwed though and the general normal time frame for shipping for Best Buy and Amazon for release date delivery is 1 to 2 days before release. Certainly there are factors involved such as stock availability, location from the shipping center, etc, but shipping times are pretty predictable these days for the most part. It's not hard for a company to time the day of arrival with the corresponding shipping method.
