Good for you -- I haven't been able to set on their site -- I think their server is overloaded -- when did you pre-order?

Mine shipped also from ebgames.com. I have the shipping number, but UPS hasn't entered it into their online system yet. Their (ebgames) servers were really slow.

I ordered LE on 8/29.

Not only that, but they are shipping it FedEx Priority Overnight (instead of the 2-Day Air) which means it must arrive at the shipping address no later than 10:30am tomorrow morning.

My wife, who used to work for FedEx, said that they probably have their own station and with the volumn coming out of West Chester, it doesn't cost them anything more to ship it quicker. She says that the pickup crew are just rolling their eyes seeing 10,000+ boxes all of the exact same size and weight and saying, yep, must be a new game for the kids to play.

EB gave me the shaft
Being someone almost always strapped on cash, I preordered the regular edition from EB games...However, they moved the regular edition's shipping back a day, but continue to ship the LE today! So they push my order back because I didn't throw in ten more dollars...

Kick arse -- mine shipped too. Is it really going overnight express instead of two-day air?

If so..
Go EB Go!!

For whatever reason, after EB reported my LE shipped and posted a tracking number, I was unable yesterday and today to get status from the shipper. The shipper's tracking system reported the number was "unknown"

However, my box arrived at my house this afternoon and is waiting for my to go home and rip it open.

(looks at watch) Four hours until I can get out of work!
