I plan on getting it the day it comes out, but as that seems to be up in the air right now for Canada with conflicting December 7th, / December 9th reports, I'll have to wait and see. Constand Best Buy in-stock checks online will be the plan for the 7th then!
Regardless, whichever day it comes out, I will be getting it ASAP, and starting into it that night. I purposely told people who were asking what I wanted for Christmas to bypass it as a gift as I'd be picking it up. If it were a couple weeks closer, then maybe I'd add it to my list, but I would probably have it 75% complete by the 25th, so I thought I'd just dive in.
