I just received an email from EBGames regarding my pre-ordered copy of Half-Life 2. Here is what it said:

On Tuesday of this week we sent the email below to all of our customers who pre-ordered Half-Life 2 (stating that the release date would be April 2004). We are writing you today to keep you as up to date as possible about the status of this highly anticipated game. We have now moved our projected release date back up to November 27, 2003. Please keep in mind that this date is very tentative and is likely to change a few times before it starts shipping.

I wonder what this means.
