For the long-URL-impaird, you only need this much:

But, is this really the date, or is Amazon just making things up?

I think I saw the same date at The Digital Bits.

They don't usually post arbitrary dates, since it's bad practice to have customers expect something one day only to find out it's delayed by a few months.

If by "don't usually", you mean "extremely often", then you're right. :)

Seriously, I agree it's obviously bad practice, but that doesn't mean Amazon doesn't do it. Check out this hoopla at Slashdot, for example: <http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/02/03/042240&mode=nested&tid=99> (The book didn't actually come out until September of this year.)

Same thing with Neverwinter Nights when it was first released.
