What I find really confusing is when I receive an email from EAsports saying "in stores this week!" I received this e-mail on the 8th March in the UK!!
Where the bloody hell is it?

>Lightning-fast backs, 300-pound forwards, huge hits, and no pads. This
>is rugby in its greatest glory. With EA SPORTS Rugby 2005 you can
>build team momentum with a shoulder charge or a high-impact collision,
>or avoid being tackled with creative side-steps or jukes -- the power
>is in your control.
>New player models promote the most popular players in rugby, while
>realistic animations better simulate actions and movements on the
>pitch. For newcomers, an interactive Training mode allows you to easily
>familiarize yourself with the game's elements. After you hone your
>skills, make a run for the 6 Nations and European Cup championships or
>take on teams in the Super 12 and European Domestic Leagues.
>The time to master the sport of rugby is NOW.
