For everyone saying blame retailers or you should have gotten overnight shipping, what about those of us who don't have access to a retailer and HAVE to wait for mail?
For the 5th time, for the life of me I can't understand why people can't get off their lazy butt and go to the store and buy a video game. Warhammer release was time sensitive, so why would you order something like that online .
This topic should have its own forum, and the list should go something like this :
Age of Conan
Anarchy Online
ArchLord
Asheron's Call
Next game
Next game
I got screwed by an online web site
Don't even THINK about using the excuse " I'm too busy". I travel as much as I'm home and I still find the time to go to a local gamestop and put $5 down and then pick the games up when released.
I don't really see the problem. I just ordered from EA store and got a key. Its not like I needed a new DL or something. Already had the game etc. Took me 5 minutes to be right.
I mean sure its kind of stupid for the whole buying a box thing. Some clumsy overlap. Might as well have given people 5 days or something.
Hmm.... on release day my local Best Buy gave me a call, said my pre-order was available, I went to the store and picked up my two copies, was playing 2 hours later. What's the problem?
Oh yes, having it shipped to you instead. Way too risky a method of delivery for me.

For myself, I live in a small town with no local GameStop. The only local place to buy a new game would be Wal-Mart which received the SE but not the CE. This is why I preordered from a website.

I just got my box a few hours ago.
I was told I would have a grace period.
I beleived I would have no break in play time.

But in the end getting a CD key is easy.
