I got it the day after it came out. It's not a huge fuss for me to get it as soon as it comes out (only with very few things it is). I got Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots the night it came out but other than that no. I got it on the PlayStation 3 and the X-Box 360. Personally I think that the PlayStation 3 version is better. There are differences if you look carefully enough but the online mode is better for X-Box 360.
