9:20 Eastern time West Palm Beach, Florida! Oh happy day...oh happy day! Yes Virginia the extra money for shipment is worth it. Thanks Matrix for what I am sure will be many years of fun and friendship.
****, Martix means business!

Same situation here, status still new. I guess they are shipping as they received the preorders. The one bright spot - must be ALOT of preorders to go thru if mine has not been qued up yet. Awaiting the shipping email and status change, patiently. :p

I, the cheap Bastard that I am, chose the cheapest option possible. Land shipping! I wont get mine til Tuesday the 21st. And my wife is out of town until the 19th.
Oh, the pain I feel! What could have been...

It can get worse: you wait for a week, then you go out for ten minutes and when you get back you find a yellow sticker on the door saying that they will try to deliver again the next day...
It happened three days in a row to me with Starships Unlimited (errr...it was my wife who was home and was supposed to receive it. At least she SAID she only went out for ten minutes...)

UPS loaded up the wagon, hitched up the horses and left California at 2:00 am May 15th. Barring any unforseen circumstances my copy should arrive in Missouri on the 20th.

No, the cheapest method was USPS Priority Mail, which is 2-3 days. UPS ground was 95 cents more, and can take 7 days. But mine hasn't shipped yet, and I ordered on the 1st.

I've found when ordering games from
any company they tend to ship the items with the most expensive shipping options first, regardless of when an item is actually ordered.
In regards to UV, I ordered literally minutes after it was available for pre-order, with the USPS priority mail shipping option (the cheapest), and it has not shipped yet, AFAIK. Of course the advantage of USPS(in addition to being the cheapest) is they deliver on Saturdays.
Honestly, a couple of days one way or the other is hardly going to matter. Can't imagine paying the extra 20 bucks or more just to get it a day or 2 sooner... money better spent on more games IMO.
