Several months ago, I pre-ordered the physical CE since I missed out on the original CE last year (and I'm a sucker for those physical bonuses: hello, steelbook!). I had to order from Gamestop, since it was their exclusive, but in-store pickup wasn't an option. "OK," I said at the time, "I'll just pay for one day shipping. If Amazon pre-orders are delivered on release day, why wouldn't this?"
As it turns out, Gamestop doesn't ship items until release day, then even with one day shipping, they still make you wait one business day for "processing"! WTF?
So while mostly everyone else will be playing late tonight and tomorrow (US time zones) I'll be waiting until Wednesday or Thursday to taste the sweet glorious Taken King expansion!!!
I won't be logging on until I get it, for fear that I won't get my Year One swag if I log in without TKK. At least I have The Phantom Pain to play in the meantime...
Anyone else feeling my pain on this one?

Happened to me last year with the original. One day shipping and nope nowhere to be found release day, I got it the next day. Amazon only from now on, lesson learned.
