Then I found out that the open beta was to end today. I was able to play some last night but was not happy that I might not be able to play again before he went away. I knew that I had to at least give it a shot for long enough to get into the meat of play. So, for those of you brave enough to plunge into the possible fiasco coming on Tuesday:
- Where did you pre-order?
- Do they guarantee you will have it on the 23rd or what day do you expect to have it?
- How much did you pay for shipping to get your expected arrival date?
- If you are planning on picking it up yourself - where and what time (midnight?)?
Unfortunately, I am much the child of our "I want it yesterday" society and expect that, once I have made the decision for something to happen, it must happen now. I am wanting to plunge in for the pain and pleasure of startup and I am going to place an order. As I am, at present, not allowed to drive, I am hoping to find an online store that will have it in my grubby little hands when I fire up my machine on the 23rd.

I have not been driving these days either. I pre-ordered from EBWorld. As I recall next day air shipping was about $10. I think there is a reasonable chance that I will get my copy on or by the 23rd. No guarantee.
Even having the copy in my hand, I am not at all sure we will have decided where the lurkers will be lounging in time for the official start.
