Creston No clue to what your talking about, I bought mine via GMG and I already have a key and it preloaded from Origin, ready to go on the 19th. The Origin copies go live on the 19th. The Amazon copies go live a week later. Yet the non-download copies sold via Amazon go live the 19th. It's ONLY the download copies that are being delayed by a week. This is EA bullshit to promote Origin. Creston
