    Huh, that's weird. Especially since that's a Friday. It might just be an automated message any time someone at Amazon updates a release date, and some guy could have just put up a new estimate though.

    Key word in that email is ESTIMATED their guess is as good as ours. No other company matters on release date info - with the exception of SE. There is usually one company that picks a date based on a few factors - then all other company's follow suit usually within a week of the first company. My local gamestop employee was saying that they were expecting an early December release as well.

    no kidding, some of my friends had a very bad experiance with their estimated release dates, if you want a reasonable release date then i can guess it will be between october 20 and november 10

    Amazon notably also took preorders for Duke Nukem Forever and was even kind enough to provide a release date.

    Alpha: "SE: As long as it takes."
    Beta: Typically a 2-5 months, sometimes MMOs never come out of Beta, e.g RO2.
