I'd be dubious of how much of that is guesswork. Quite a few games get initial release dates on websites that get pushed back. From what I remember reading so far then March is a bit early - I thought it was due in at least Q2 (April-June) if not Q3 (July-September). At least they still give you a good discount on it, though.

Yeah i thought march was a bit early too, possibly just trying to get a step ahead of other retailers by getting lots of pre orders.

Given the narrow margins that places like Play.com must have with the discount they give, that wouldn't be unusual. I think the release of every major game comes with some guessing on release date to try to secure orders. IIRC Duke Nukem Forever has had pages with release dates on Amazon before now, and it's one of the best known "vapour-ware" games ever!
