Dec 20/22? Sounds like Bioware employees get to work through the Christmas holidays.

It's a pretty silly time to release an MMO. It's not like it's going to be bought as a gift for many people released that late in the shopping season. There are probably bonuses depending on a 2011 release.

Well, nowadays its pretty common to pre-order this sort of thing, so its not like this will be off the radar and then suddenly 5 days before christmas, oh hey, maybe I'll buy this. People are going to be asking for it, and you can reserve a copy. |

Maybe the non-gamers in your life are that sophisticated. If I were to ask for something like this for Christmas and they couldn't just pick it up off a shop shelf I'd most likely end up with some other game with "Star Wars: in the name.  |

That's why Odin created amazon wishlists. "Here, dumbasses. Buy anything listed here."
Made xmas SO MUCH BETTER. Except my mom, who prints them out and then buys me some weird crap not on the lists.

The EU release being on the 22nd is kind of funny because it's past the mail-by date for Christmas presents. Ie. you can pre-order a boxed copy but it will not arrive until after the 26th.

Does Amazon.co.whatever not do Release-Date Delivery like we have in the US? |

They said that there's going to be a grace period for people to enter their CD keys after the launch date. With this date though it'll probably have to be like a week. |

I bought the deluxe digital download and will get it thru Origin. I'm sure the download will go swimmingly. |

Conversely I never pay for fancy shipping and I often get shit like the very next day for whatever reason.

I haven't done Release-Date a whole lot (because I hardly buy physical games anymore) but it's gone well, same with the base Prime shipping. I live near Los Angeles though, so your mileage may vary and all.

Dec 20th? That's a terrible time for me. I'll have it for a couple days then on 23rd or so it's off to visit family for the holiday week. And none of them have a decent gaming rig, not that I'll have much time to sit by myself and play an mmo. Just enough time to get started and hooked, then have it snatched away.
Priorities... Welcome to Electronic Arts minions, ur I mean highly valued employees! |

I can't imagine that selling boxes will be their problem, regardless of timing. Anyone who ever doubted that this game would sell millions (definitely plural) is fooling themselves. What they need to worry about is how many people are going to pay up when Jan. 20 comes around.

No but I believe that you can send your wife out to find trinkets that you then gift back to her, that should grind your affection level back married. |

According to Stephen Reid they are gonna have about 400 employees there and are currently hiring, for anyone interested. They are also hiring at Bioware Austin for a crapload of positions atm. |

Shouldn't that be firing, with the launch so soon?  |

Shouldn't that be firing, with the launch so soon? No, this is a MMO. Three quarters of the devteam (the most burned-out) will split off to develop the first expansion pack, while the remaining quarter, joined by a bunch of fresh-faced naive newbies, will be the live team. |

Just got a notification from Amazon estimating the arrival date as 12/22. Nice headstart.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail
