I have faith in EA's ability to guage and prepare for buyer demand, after all, they've gotten their battlefield launches done well now.
Well this is an MMO.
So, presumably (Based on my experience with City of Heroes and Star Trek Online), on launch day customers who were involved with pre-order Beta will have their clients updated (unless there is a pre-launch headstart) which can be minor or major, and first time customers will need to do major downloads (the client for an MMO changes so much a disk is usually pointless by launch day) of up to several GBs.
And the week before Christmas is an odd time for a launch...especially if Santa were getting this for certain good little girls and boys. (Bet there will be a huge x-mas day hit on the servers of first time users)
