Well there were no pre-release review copies given out.  You either agreed to be flown out to their facility and forced to play the game under a pretty strict time limit or you went and bought it yourself.  So reviews are going to take longer than normal.  

Most press got the full retail game copy before release.

The pre-release event was more to small ones that didn't reveiced the retail copy.

IGN for examplo got the retail copy before the pre-release event.
