Did it come with an actual, real, helpful manual? 

Now i think I want one. I think I'll be playing this game for years!

I live behind the ocean so I am not surprised my package was not delivered yet.

and you think you have delays, I am in australia, we have not even got the book yet, nor the stores with the small version, and the le is not going to be available in retail, and yes I did read the posts/threads about europe/uk not getting any except by import, are we aussies any better off?

I'm in Canada.  Still waiting as well...

"Rosebud"

The first video I came across was somehow of Brad and team discussing the map the day they got the pre-rendering in the mail.  Someone pulls it out and it's on paper and he's all disappointed and then someone else pulls out the cloth one from the same package and he's in absolute awe of it.  Classic moment and a great first impression of Brad and team.  Made even funnier by Brad yelling at some guy in the last few seconds for coming out and playing with his phone... 

p.s. if anyone knows what I'm talking about please post a link so I don't sound like a raving lunatic
