Dec 5th. Had to wait till then because my birthday was Dec 4th, and I asked for money to preorder. Thought about doing it Day 1, then said to myself, "Self, do you REALLY wanna spend money on a game you've never played, you can't ask anyone about cuz THEY'VE never played, and isn't even finished yet?" And my self said to me, "You so crazy."
Hoping to get in tomorrow, cuz the wife will be gone and I have Thurs and Fri to just geek out. Also, the more time I get, the better; I have to go visit my inlaws for a week, and I need all the fun I can get, get all fortified.
Honestly, I think a release date of Dec 20th was crazy, with so many people a) already having done their xmas shopping, and/or b) out of town. But que sara sara. If I can't get in till Saturday, I can't, and that's it.
