Yeah, this whole "Dark Matter" thing reminded uneducated me of the second part of this Sherlock Holmes quote: "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."

With that in mind, is there any reason to buy a game on its release date?
The only thing I can come up with is size of player base for multiplayer games. Player base will probably be bigger closer to release than a year or more later. Of course, this is because most people buy games on release date... If everyone followed your advice, then no, there wouldn't be any point. Sort of like voting, I guess. It has to be a group thing.

What's fun is even if you delete the executable, it puts itself back within a few seconds. However, it is possible to have a file named aiexplore.exe or something, delete iexplore and rename aiexplore before Windows puts iexplore.exe back:) Of course, if there's some reason why ie is running itself, you should probably be checking for spyware, not fooling Windows.
