Well, I'll take a delayed release over a SB, AC2, AO premature release anyday. This is of course assuming they are able to release and have good amount of content.
The AC2 release had a huge deal to do with this I think. They pushed by four systems (3 big ones and stupid player missions, but the 3 are all later stage stuff) to be able to focus more on content and bug squashing. Then they decided to delay it further to get more in. AC2, the game without content, purpose, or fun, had to make an impact.
We really really really need some games to fail, fall flat on their faces from release. I vote AC2. It will prevent the producers from forcing out games that aren't ready yet. But as it is, we have too many fanbois who will pay to play a beta, and defend to their dying breath the game, and in fact delude themselves into believing there is nothing wrong with the game.
Baby rant, sorry
