I was under the assumption it was out yesterday, Tuesday the 23rd. My cousin in Lexington KY picked up a copy at Gamestop (360 vesion) and did not have a copy reserved. I'm in Charlotte NC and I checked out Best Buy, Walmart and Gamestop yesterday and they all say the release is Wednesday.

Did my cousin just get lucky and have a guy sell him the game a day early on accident? Release day different for 360/PS3? When I looked it up online last week, the release day was the 23rd, now I've seen ads that say it's the 25th. Anyone else confused by this?

*edit - I apologize for starting this in a new thread...but I want to pick this game up on my lunch break today!

It depends on the store.

Allow me to explain.

Tuesdays when it comes to DVDs or CDs are "release dates." Go to the store and you will find it. Usually they are sitting in the store's back room on Friday.

But Tuesdays are "ship dates" when it comes to games. In other words, its the day the companies put the crap on the truck and send it over. It arrives in Wednesday shipment.

Sometimes, a store employee will go to the warehouse, or UPS or whatever, and pick it up Tuesday night. This makes customers happy but its extra work and effort they need not do since its all advertised as ship dates anyway.

Just my personal rant, this is a horrible system. It makes the release date arbitrary, it confuses customers, and if something happens on Tuesday night and the game doesn't arrive Wednesday you have a big old cluster****.

Word.

I'm heading out to see if I can pick it up right now. I'll return with results...

Gamestops automated voice contacted me yesterday that it will be available today at noon for pickup.

I had it on Monday since I ordered it from EA.com.

Great game, the CABs are awesome.

Got it! Can't wait to halfa$$ it the rest of the day at work while I wait to go home and play it! Demo was awesome so I know I'll love it. Looking forward to try and create myself with the camera thing.

I suggest using a regular digital camera and upload them onto your PC, then onto Easports.com.

Using the USB camera doesn't work as well.

Did you get it to work. I have my pics uploaded to the ea site but it will not recognize on the ps3. No photos. I have it linked to my ps3 and everything. Many people are having issues with it and the ea admin are no help.

My suggestion would be to try to take more pictures and do it over. It worked fine for me once I followed the examples given. Make sure you line up the dots correctly also.
