I don't think KotOR or KotOR 2 would have been STALE if they had been released even 6 months late. I mean, not trying to compair them, but how long had HL2 been delayed? It's done pretty damn fine. If LA and Obsidian would have delayed K2 a little while, I would have been more than happy to wait, I would have had so much respect that they were willing to delay to fix the fact that the "live update" part was broken and to actually do the POLISHING. They released the beta, they didn't even get to polish for more than most likelly a week! Pushing TSL a month early was the stupidiest more I've ever seen, people buy more things after christmas then before anyway, stupid move, yeashe, They could ahve avoided most, maybe even all of this.
