Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Ships?

While we are still waiting for an official press release from Ubisoft, and while Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: Warrior Within page lists the "release date" as December 2nd, a couple of phone calls to our local EB and Gamestop stores have confirmed shipment of the highly anticipated game. Both of these stores expect to have the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube versions of the game on the shelves by tomorrow at noon, meaning all US stores should have the game on shelves by December 2nd, hence clearing up the ship date vs. release date debacle.
