I think this was a good idea. I can't think of any other games that come out on the 27th, so NFS will own the day.

Wait EA didn't release on a date they said they were going to? It must be really really bad then, EA pushes out games whether its working or not (BC2).

Their beta sucked so bad, -no not the beta itself- it was the way the beta was done. Only available 3 days a t a time, at random weekends, you barely got enough time to beta test anything. I was able to find only a combined total of 1 hour beta testing the whole time they had it.
