To make matters worse, SE has frozen all orders placed by retailers (according to Amazon and Gamestop) until they get their shit in order. Not to mention all digital download purchases being frozen as well. All three Gamestops in my area told me this and none had any PC versions available.

So the quickest solution will probably be to wait until SE lifts the ban of digital purchases (assuming this happens early next week) and buy a key online, then return your Amazon purchase. I say this because the order freeze has hit them too. My game was originally to be delivered tomorrow, but has been pushed back to Sept 9 due to "Limited availability".
wow that sucks... what a joke.. sounds exactly like what im going to expect. looking at my track order section, it says it has shipped however its not expected to deliver until 9/4/13 which to me is a joke...
