Who has all had it? Where did the rumour that if you get it you're not gonna get it on launch day start? I can't imagine that being the case!

Incidentally, I haven't had it.......yet. Curious that's all.

It's not a rumour. It's fact.

Do you really think people just come onto internet forums and make stuff up?

I take that as "No, you aren't getting it on Friday."

This is the second thread I've seen where people assume this means no Friday delivery, but I don't understand why. It looks like a typical new-product email
