What does it matter when boycott day is when you have to have bought the game to take part? What does not playing the game after you purchased it prove? Ironic that despite these issues the average rating seems to 9/10. Here's a tip for the future (Which I've been saying for years) - stop buying games right away. Get a demo first. You'll notice many game developers don't even release a demo until AFTER the game has shipped. Wonder why? Can you imagine if film trailers were not shown until after the movie were released? Not that trailers can give you a great idea about how good a movie will be. I remember some years back I contacted tech support re: outstanding "Blood 2" issues (Hadn't bought it at that point :)) where I was informed (If I remember right) the developers would not patch it unless paid to do so, which the publishers wouldn't as sales weren't strong enough. You're screwed either way really. Try before you buy is your best bet now.
