Well, just to add some fuel to the February fire:
EGM just published their review of the game (9.5, 9.5, 9.5). Which in and of itself isn't really that big a deal.. I mean, everybody reviews games. But EGM has always stated, and they maintain to this day, that they only review the final versions of the games. They don't review "preview copies", betas, or "almost done"s. Final, retail versions only.
So... if EGM has the final American version sitting in their office right now.... how much longer can it be?
