why oh why did they bump it one day?.... dicks, they must have read the post on here about how fucked up it would be to delay it yet again.... one fucking day, after months of delays, they couldn't get it right on the 6th try

I was looking forward to that EB phone call today, and playing on Live tonight....

They didn't, as far as I know. IGN is a little late with the info.
The whole information that the game has shipped was already posted on the SNK USA site, yesterday.

but EB changed their ship date to the 18th now.... Im confused....

Oddly enough, Gamestop hasn't. They also have updated their info since yesterday. According to their website, it should be in stores today.

Both EB and Gamestop said they would have it tomorrow.

After a game company makes an announcement, it takes 2-3 days for retailers to get the games in. If there are enough pre-orders game stores will have the games sent ovenight to their store. Sometimes it even takes longer.
