hmmmm , its $45 if you pre-order on origin using the birthday 25% off code they send you.

But that is a good deal for a boxed copy!

I wonder if they offer release-day delivery, anyone know?

Edit: after looking around and googling it doesn't look like they offer release day delivery.

So, personal decisions for all: $12 in savings worth not having it first, second or even third day post release?

I decided to go with the Newegg special today, just cause I like saving $12 :P

Plus all I miss is like 2 days of gameplay, and that's just not worth it to me.

Not in a rush to be "the first to get X ribbon or X rank", so I went for Newegg as well. Should be delivered to my office on that Friday, in time for the weekend.
