As are most of you, I am anxiously awaiting the UPS guy to drop SWGB on my doorsteps, I preordered it 2 days ago on LucasArts.com and I checked the status of my package on LucasArts.com and it said "Back Ordered." What?!? Am I going to get it a week late or something now? How could it be back-ordered if it's not even out yet. Aren't pre-orderer's supposed to get it the day of or before? Please help. I'm too lazy to contact LucasArts. Thanks.

If a company can't process an order THE DAY THEY GET THE ORDER from you, it's officially a back-order.
Don't worry. Sounds to me like you'll be fine.

No your fine...they will be shipping it to you don't worry...if you buy it at a store they might not have it for DAYS after it comes out...maybe even weeks...even with stores like BESTBUY and COMP_USA it might not come in on that day because they don't get daily shipments...they get them maybe one a week...

It means dinner isn't up yet. Just wait until the release and you'll have it. It may turn out, however, that you actually did do a back order. In that case, I believe you can turn the back in for a refund :D. (j/k)

I say it depends on when LEC ships it.. I'm using Priority Mail (2 Day Delivery), You probably won't get it the day before due to it being Veterans Day. You might get it on the day it comes out or the day after.

Yeah EB is where I'll be getting it. They almost always have games the day they come out.
