That makes me so mad but I will buy >the game anyway. They've got me by the balls!f With over $12 million in capital tied up in the game, Origin would be insane to delay major revenues just to hype a product that's practically a sure hit anyway. The game is delayed because there are numerous bugs still to fix. I think you should save your ire for game companies that *don't* delay buggy games, and use the public as beta testers. :-) Gary
