Oh it was Lea's own link (the one she just posted) that I used, she just hadn't changed the year from the default of 2013 to 2014, when she entered the info for the site to calculate.

Sorry for all the confusion!!! It's been a long day and I wasn't thinking clearly with the excitement over finally having a proper release date .

Thank you Nyssa, I've changed the year so I'll be correct from now on

Hello my godson, so nice to see you! What a big tree you have!

No..if you were, my Hellhounds would be licking their chops after a satisfactory meal. If you would like to change that, however, I'm sure I could have a discussion with Leanansidhe.

Release/street dates are always on Tuesdays. I was once told it's because all other days are the Sabbath for one religion or another. At least that's the part of the explanation that I remember. No clue if that's really the reason, though. Doing a quick Google search didn't come up with this explanation or any other definitive explanation.

As being a leader in countdowning. Last time around certainly, and I anticipate doing the same now. Plus I caught (or just avoided altogether) leanansidhe's mistake.

How can I feel special when I am being ignored?

Just joking.

Its only Tuesday in the US, right? Don't other countries release dates vary?

I always heard it was a good medium between when various stores get new deliveries (a Monday delivery only store would miss the new release for the week) and ensuring that the first week of sales for the released product would include an entire weekend (including any Monday-holidays).

May 27, 2014 falls on the Tuesday following 2 long weekends in May in North America. The Victoria Day weekend in Canada falls on May19 and the Memorial Day weekend in the US falls on May 26. Perhaps this has something to do with it?
