It's available for the US on the 8th, right? Why do I have to wait until the 10th? I preordered in October, I just need them to let me download it. I'm going to cri 4ever nao, kthxbai.
But for serious, why?

I have to wait too and I hate it because I pay the same. At least when Steam releases something, it's universal, and for me it is the right thing
Some items still have to stock for brick-and-mortar release, and for stores, that can be much easier to manage if everything is on the same weekday. So for it to change, everyone would have to agree when to change it to, and when it would start. That's a lot of huge-cat-herding.
In the U.S. many games are released on tuesdays, and PSN also updates for the week on tuesdays (idk about the xbox's store since I don't have one). I think they did this to make releases more organized throughout the industry, instead of having new games just come out on whatever day. If would be really annoying for stores to have shipments of new games come in that all come out on different days lol
I guess for Europe, the day they chose for that is different.
@luthienrising You know, that makes sense, but a google search of typical Danish game stores doesn't show Get Together anywhere.
Yep. But the release day is the release day for all content, so that companies aren't doing multiple release days depending on whether there's a non-download version or not. Companies simply haven't shifted to multiple release days-of-the-week. That's true in other media as well, not just in games. Those single-day-of-the-week release days became part of the culture of these industries in a way that's bigger than their original reason, and the coordination needed to undo it is pretty big. To have a separate release day for digital-only, for example, would mean coordinating that among digital retailers - who would need to, for example, have multiple weekdays they update certain site areas, not just one. So, it's more complicated than just deciding "this isn't on disc, so it can just release on Tuesday everywhere". In this case, some European countries have disc/key sale off of Origin, so Origin can't just shift the date - it's not the only retailer.
Yeah, the Game Packs haven't been available from any non-Origin retailers until at least a few days after they go on sale on Origin. Origin can do whatever it likes when it's the only retailer.

Gamepacks have a world wide release date for everyone were expansions are 2 days apart depending on your country.
