The manager at my EB store specifically told me last week that he had just been notified that instead of shipping today, he would actually be receiving today.
I think EB had been planning on not operating their warehouse on Monday since it was a holiday, but when they saw that every other retailer was going to be giving out their copies, they decided to do whatever they could to get them in the stores.
But, still, retailers call this the "Ship Date" to protect them. Even if they were shipped out overnight yesterday there's no way to be sure that your store will actually get their copies.
I probably should have done the smart thing and reserved at GameSpot instead of EB, considering that their HQ and main warehouse is about 6 blocks from my house.
