I hate Amazon, purely because they always give out release dates when there's no support or definite date going around. Usually you should add at least 6 months onto anything they say, meaning we could be looking at Summer 2009 for it to release in America.
Though I won't say they're always wrong, because they'd just go a prove me wrong this time

Wait...maybe I should say they're always wrong to get an earlier release... Gah!
