The managers probably didn't understand time zones..... Got mine just then too though, so all good :P
I was awoken this morning by a message on my phone from EB games saying i could get the game as soon as the stores opened, i figured it was some error and rolled over to sleep again. Then my friend from GAME called me and said we can actually get it now and to gtfo of bed and go get my CE and start installing
I was worried that the time of going and getting the game and installing would get me left behind in my leveling group but it seems fate has smiled up us this day :P
