I see, but wouldnt it be cheaper and easier to ship all copies at once. i could tottaly see some worker not shipping titles on time because he thought they were just excess stock cause 'all' the titles shipped 3 weeks earlie. plus , instead of 1 large shipment they gotta do 2 smaller ones which is probably more expensive.
