Manual tends to come out when the product ships. Gives them time for last minute revisions, I would imagine.

When DOES this ship, BTW?

TBH, most of the 'spin' I'm seeing is coming from ill-informed 'Joe Public' readers, conjecturing their brains out! I prefer to stick to the official ad copy rather than what some guy told some other guy about what he had heard from another guy who saw it briefly but couldn't play it!
