Apparently this is all down to them significantly underestimating demand. They realised that if they released this friday with the number of units they had available, it would come nowhere close to meeting demand and pre-orders, so they've pushed it back a week to get hold of more units.
Okay, so all the retailers that have been offering this on pre-order have had *no* communication with Activision regarding the number of units they are going to be requiring ? Surely its a simple case of taking a total of pre-orders (x) + the number of units required to ship to stores (y) + a little bit of common sense and experience gained from many years distributing games (z) + 10% or so ... (to be sure) == a total to order !!! *sigh*

Yup, screw Activision. I'll order it from Germany now [as soon as I find somewhere lol]
Surely they should let stock run out on Friday? Then they could act like it wasn't intentional, and run all sorts of headlines like SWG First Expansion Sells Out In First Day just to give a bit of publicity to the whole thing ... or are they worried that GTA San Andreas will steal the headlines and are delaying it for that reason?
