Just to clarify for everybody - the May 1st US release date was the 'available from' date, so the game is definitely shipping.
The mistake on Gamestop's system should now have been rectified - this was unfortunate and we understand your frustration.
Many stores will have started receiving stock late yesterday. It's slightly different terminology to the 'street' date in Europe which is May 4th - which is the literal on shelf date.
Many many apologies for the confusion here - but the good news is, that if you haven't got it already then you will be partaking in some awesome sniping action imminently!
Thanks once again for all of your support.

This really doesn't mean anything. "the May 1st US release date was the 'available from' date, so the game is definitely shipping." So when Diablo 3 releases on the 15th I won't get it until the 19th? Nope, because blizzard/activision knows what they are doing.
"The mistake on Gamestop's system should now have been rectified - this was unfortunate and we understand your frustration." What about the people at Best Buy, or Amazon, or Walmart, or Target. Did all of their systems have the mistakes as well? Best Buy and Walmart had no clue what was going on with it, just that it was supposed to be there on the 1st.
You guys need to own up and admit that someone on your side made a huge mistake. Everywhere on the internet said the 1st. Nowhere did it say the 2nd or the 3rd or the 9th. This type of an answer is why people are completely frustrated and p*ssed off with you guys. Beat around the bush and give an answer like that.
