	... About time, i am really getting sick of Walmart, and dealing with all the animals there. Plus the fact they never put the game on the shelf till after hours, if they have it in the first place.. Yeah Amazon!

	... I know it would take awhile, but they should just let you download these things. Pre-load like Steam so you can get it over a longer period and activate the day of release. Amazon and Gamestop have both screwed up preorders for me so I'd rather use something else but I'm stuck. I dont' think I've ever bought a game at a Wally-world before.

	... The price on shipping is pretty good, not as cheap as going into a store but how many times have you been burned on game day anyway?

... Fallout 3 was just added; I got an e-mail from Amazon informing me I can upgrade my shipping. However, not really; I logged in, and Release Date shipping isn't an option. I can only assume it's because they're not offering it for the exclusive Survival Edition - which is a load of bull, because I'm already spending $120 for it. Release Date shipping should be part of the damn deal! I'm pretty angry about it. I'm going to argue with customer service.
