Best e-tailer to pre-order from? Who will get it here the soonest.
Okay, so I want to pre-order ESPN NFL 2K5 for xbox. 19.99 price seems pretty standard. I want to place 2 orders, one for myself and one for my brother in california. I could potentially go pick mine up in-store but would like my brother's shipped to him as a surprise. I'd like him to get it as soon after the release date as possible so we can start playing on Live.
It used to be that if I pre-ordered a dvd I would get it on the release date (and luckily sometimes a day ahead) but I don't know if that's still true or how it applies to games. I'm sure you wouldn't get it early, but potentially on the release date. If not, I want it the soonest after that.
So long story short, where would be the best place to order from considering:
1) Earliest arrival date
2) Low shipping costs
I don't care so much about saving 2 or 3 bucks as getting it fast.
This will be my first online purchase of an xbox game. Thanks!

Personally, electronic boutique has served me the best. I usually wait for one of their "free second day airshipping" sales and get that.
9 times out of ten, I get my copy the same day as all of the people who paid extra for overnight.
You usually get hit with tax, though, cuz they have stores in most states.
