Why did you not pre-order through your local EB ? Saves shipping
costs.

They seem to do fine on PC pre-orders. Had my pre-ordered PC CE
version of Oblivion morning of release day ( March 21). By noon all
the extra shelf stock of all PC versions and the CE for the Xbox360
had sold out everywhere locally - EB, Babbage's,  CompUSA
