For our money, we would much rather have a release date be pushed back than a broken game be released on schedule.
On a personal level, id rather get a broken game now, and have something to play for the x months while they are working on it, than have nothing to play for those x months :P. (But that's me, however doing that does tend to hurt sales/reputations...so lets hope no such thing happens)
What do others think?
<pre>still, good news that it should be hitting by this year</pre>
