No later than = it will be released by or before end of day Monday

As a few have stated before this post, no earlier than the end of day Monday means it'll be released between 00:00 Tuesday morning and anytime after that....

Jeeeeezzzz,
Hehehe. Actually, if you want to be pedantic about it 'no earlier than before end of day monday' does not preclude the possibility of it arriving at the end of day monday. It simply means 'at that time, or later'. Neeer Neeer.

Note, I'm just having a laugh, I'm not actually that anal lol. The obvious inference was that there was a possibility of it arriving end of day Monday, but not before.

Not arsed though. I'll wait a week as long as its good.
