This is a question i must pose. What is a release date? When is it a promise, and when is it a tease? We look at game releases today and we see big titles such as Gears of War 2, Warhammer, World of Warcraft - Lich King, etc. all games that were released as promised.

What makes a supplier able to ensure the games are in stores on the proper dates? World of Warcrafts games, are all in stores ahead of time. THis is great for the gamers that expect it, such as myself. but what about those smaller titled games.

For example, i have been waiting patiently for NPPL CHAMIONSHIP PAINTBALL 2009 for the Xbox 360. originally to be released on the 19th of november. on the 19th of Nov, it actually got pushed to the 25th. This is fine, i can wait. I have GoW2 to play. but now its December 4th, and no NPPL to be seen in Canada. I have litterally called major gaming stores through out the country to get this game shipped if required.

WHat happened? wheres the updates? Gamespot, IGN, activision, etc all have not posted any update regarding the 360 versions....What happened? why am i being teased?

this is not the first time, it wont be the last...but all i ask, is updates on push backs. especially if its been released on one system, but not the other.....
