I'm just going to do what I did with The Show, then. I'll buy the game from Gamestop and play it, then buy the game from Best Buy and return that unopened one to Gamestop. It's bulletproof.
EDIT: Actually, I'm traveling this weekend so it might not even be worth it.
I have no reason NOT to buy it. My birthday is this weekend, so I'll just tell my wife to consider it my present. It may replace *the other football game* for me this year, you know the one
The release date is changed on my Gamefly. I would assume that it is industry wide, and somehow you could probably get lucky at a Wal-Mart in less than 6 hours now (E.T)
