Oh, I totally hear you on that. They dropped the ball on this, especially since we were discussing this days ahead of time and flat out told them what they could do to prevent this. They've been in the business for several years now, you'd think they'd have mirrors and torrents ready to go right at release not have people waiting getting angry and then scramble to cobble it together. Sure, it was only a few hours, but when you're told you can come and get something at a certain time and then you can't and you have to wait, I think it's perfectly understandable that some get upset.
If this was a retail store I would have walked out of the store after 5 minutes and probably never gone back. I can't stand being made to wait in line for anything, but this is a little different as when you're on the internet waiting there's probably a dozen other things you can probably do while waiting (I always seem to have a dozen or so things). Thankfully, I was busy much of the day and didn't end up even start downloading it until the torrent was up and working splendidly. My install ended up taking far longer than the download actually and now I'm somewhere that I can't even play it!
