I know this thread is old but I am going to bump it because I went to gamestop a few days ago thinking maybe I should preorder GR and the sales rep said they still have a tentative release date of 9/1 even thought I told him the actual release date is 8/17. I don't want to preoder my copy if I have to wait 2 weeks after launch to play it. Has anyone who preordered from gamestop got confirmation that there copy will be available on 8/17?
