Ah yes, Texas my old enemy... Depending on your city, Gamestop, Wal-mart, or Hastings. Wherever they will do a midnight release. Amazon will start again I'm sure once there is a release date. Once the release date comes out more companies will pre-order.
"The game doesn't meet standards" line is a load of crap. But to be fair, so are all of the RMAH, WoW conspiracies. Just like how the biggest movie blockbusters come out May-July, video games have their "High" months too. All of the biggest selling games come out in either November, or March.
No game ever meets standards at release or there wouldn't be a need for patches. Skyrim's occasional backwards flying dragons, or sometimes glitchy gameplay doesn't stop it from being a great game, and patches come along to fix the odd things that need polish. I would much rather play a great game that will be patched better, than to wait forever for a "ready" game right out of the box. I played the beta a couple of times about 3 months ago and it is a great game, certainly capable of exceptional reviews. 6 months of waiting is going to make my experience that much more perfect... Yeah right, then maybe they can go and punch out God...
Back when they said they were aiming for 2011, they were aiming for November... they missed it... hello March release. Simple as that. The rest is just a PR circle jerk. So everyone say thank you to the person on the left and reach for the one on the right.
Record 1: Most expensive Beta Key ever purchased by a desperate SOB.
Record 2: Most Beta Keys ever purchased by desperate SOB's.
Record 3: 1st game company to make more money from the Beta Key black market, than from the game's Day 1 launch.

I was in Jail.... no seriously, jail.
But of course I work there as an Officer, so I'm always in jail.
