I just got an email from amazon saying that swtor is now releasing on the 16th. Looks like EA gave them the go ahead to ship the game early. This should help with with the no grace period fiasco,

Ouch, cancellations I bet. Mine is due on the 16th as well. =) Was stoked when I got the news this morning.

This is great news


-Sent from my starship in docking bay 94.

So has anyone received theirs yet? I've got prime so could get it a day early I guess for a couple bucks if I bought it today.

Mine is out for delivery right along with one of those cheap TouchPads from last Sunday. Should be a good day. =)

I got mine today, every things set up and I'm just waiting in the queue to get into the server and check everything out.
