You probably will get it before the street date. NISA typically ships out orders well before the street date (I'd guess its probably around the same time they ship out orders to retailers) and my last two preorders from them arrive 1-2 days before the street date, and that was a shipment...

I'm expecting Lego Star Wars III and Steel Diver to arrive on Tuesday so I figured I'd go ahead and ensure the console would as well.
Based on all you guys' estimates I'm feeling more confident it ain't happening today. I can be patient but I was just kinda hoping they'd ship today so I...
