Interplay doesn't give any sort of hard "streetdate" according to their website. Retailers are given approximate dates with no gaurantee that the product will be on-time according to the manager at EBX(when directly questioned).
For example Baldurs gate 2 shipped here in Boston, MA, USA a full week earlier than the date I was quoted for a reservation. Two days later I walked into the store to put down my deposit and there it was, A week early. Later that evening right after I played it for the first time I saw a website offering pre-ordering quoting a date TWO weeks later. I reserved Heart of winter a few days ago and asked the clerk if they would call me if it arrived early and he said yes. So who knows when it'll show. I just know it will.

Also the Ironworks preview mentions 20-30 hrs added game play on two discs, not to mention improvements to the original game like bags of holding and others. Im excited!!!
