Now this is retarded. Since I ordered before the release date delivery option was available, I chose 1 day shipping. Then I tried to change my shipping speed to it and it wasn't an option so I emailed amazon. This was their reply...
Hello,
I do understand that you would like to receive this item "NHL 12" using Release-Date Delivery option on the release date.
I have checked this order and found that you have placed this order using "One-Day Shipping" method.
Unfortunately, it appears that you placed your order before the Release-Date Delivery option was available. When you have placed the order on July 29, the release date delivery option was not available for this item.
We only offer the Release-Date Delivery option when we know we can get the item from our suppliers in time to meet our delivery promise to you.
Now, I see that this item is eligible for release date delivery option.

Get it the day it comes out!
Pre-order and select Release-Date Delivery at checkout.
I'm sorry, but I was unable to upgrade your order to "release date delivery option. Unfortunately, I was unable to change the shipping method for this order from "One-Day Shipping" to "release date delivery option".
I'm sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
If you still need this item right away, please submit a new order and double check that you've chosen "release date delivery option" during the checkout process and cancel the existing order.
