why the diffrent shipping dates?

[animeheron]

i live in canada and i was waiting to go and get my copy on nov 30th just like eveybody else but then i go in and find out that its not released untill december 20th here whats up with that?
and how many out 10 games do one or more of the peices break ?

lol, well first. It was released on Nov 20th, not the 30th. Unless that was a typo. And this has been covered. It's December 18th [a day before my birthday] and no one know's why? I suspect stress testing the equipment so they don't have to pay ALOT of shipping to Canada for broken crap.

sorry lol frist day on the site and dident realise it has been gone over yet.
and yes the nov. 30th was a typo
but the dec.20th is what the dummy at eb games told me
and thanks for the reply it was helpful.

I think anther reason for it is that they dont have enough of all the paraphernalia to go around and they want to make sure that they have lots for a launch so by pushing it back a little they are making sure that more people will get it

Actually I called EA up to actually find out and it turns out that the special edition was packaged in french because they thought all Canadians could read french....I'm not even joking either.
