Well, I can understand the fear for spoilers. I, for one, am just not going to read any threads that could contain spoilers, until I've received my game and had the chance to play through it myself (whenever that will be).

And yeah, I too remember those good old days... knowing that something really nice was on its way to you, but without any tracking codes etc, so never knowing when it would arrive... for me, the anticipation was actually part of the fun. So right now, I'm in that same excited state of anticipation again...
