Well, for me, Amazon almost always ships it the day after release, if not THE day of release, & I usually get it by the end of the week. So, I'm guessing I'll get it on the 25th or 26th given Amazon's history. It could change ofcoarse, as the mail isn't all that reliable, but, 9 times out of 10, it arrives quickly. But, I'll already have the game anyways, since I'm also buying the digital copy off PSN to help support Xseed & their Falcom goodness, & I recomend ya'll do the same if possible!
