I don't understand why people put themselves through all the hassle of ordering online and dealing with the delivery shenanigans.
Save yourself the headache. Wake up on launch day, enjoy coffee and a crumpet, stroll down to the nearest store and buy it. Back home by 9:15, ready to play.
good plan if you are unemployed. for the rest of us after working all day having it on the doorstep works out a bit better.
amazon using ups was worked out fine. rarely have an issue with them being late on anything. the other thing is distribution centers are often specialized so even if you have one near by does not mean the product comes from that site...for example I am in Mass but most of games seem to come from Kentucky.
