i wonder if there will come a day that you guys stop depending on game site, stores, and online release dates. the only dates that matter are those from the developers and publishers, no list that you can find at a Best buy, EB, gamestop, or walmart is up to date. if this whole DoA debacle didnt teach you guys nothing will. the most rescent date announced is the 29th BTW. honestly i doubt we'll see it before the end of this year, i say take as long as needed, just give us the best we can get.
The point is, unless you work at tecmo, the release dates are constantly changing. Apparently rumors are circulating and stores are supposed to have them by the 22nd. Instead of posting and appearing like an @ss, I'd lower the tone and try and be more helpful to these people that are trying to get this game for their kids for christmas. Yes, a better polished game is what we all want, but thanks for the heads up from the developers. I know you meant well, but even that isn't a guarantee. :-).
