January? Wow, I was thinking it would have been out in October to tie in to the movie’s video release, and get the holiday sales. I’m wondering if it was intended to be released in January, of if it got pushed back.
I think it got pushed back because it was originally stated as a fall 2015 release.
Of course in my half-asleep stupor of writing that, I forgot that Dimensions is out in September. Obviously they want to give that all their focus.
That release date makes me so sad
