Default SE V Release date and do we care?

I heard Sept 12. Turns out to be my Bday! But will it be in stores that day?

And what do the beta testers have to say? Is the game 75% done, 80%? 90%?

How long b4 the 1st patch... We all KNOW its gonna need a patch out of the starting gate...

How many of you will wait to buy it till it's patched?

Since its my Bday, Im gonna buy it on the 12th. But usually, I dont like rewarding software companies with impulse buys on projects they rush to the shelf incomplete. I make em pay for their hastiness and hold off till it's patched well enough. If we all did, mb they'd stop shipping majorly buggy crap.

There's a coincidence. One of the forum bigshots has the same birthday. He might not like me telling everyone who he is. oh and incidentally my own birthday is around about the same time.

The way I hear it is it will be available to order from S1 first and then a few weeks later in stores. I started a new thread last week about it. Go back a page or two.

I will definetly buy it FAST.
Everything else on my "waiting to get" list either has been piecemealed out in public beta, or I ended up on the closed beta. I drastically need a "new game" fix.

Mine's the 22nd, but I am going to get SE:V out of the gate, if I can get my hands on a copy, though it hasn't been on gamestop to pre-order and no announcement on Strategy First yet.

I'm going to want to have the physical CD. Anyone know if that will be available to order on the 12th? or will it be download only.

If I had a computer capable of running it, I would wait for the physical CD, but I have to buy a new computer first, and there are a couple other purchases higher on the priority list, so the release date is a moot point for me.

I don't care about the release date.
