Whoa, no, wait.
If you give a release date, it should probably be released at or around that date. It is a promise, and people will (and have a right to) bitch about delay, just like they will for big release titles.
If you don't release a date and say "It'll be done whenever", that's okay and understandable and cool.
If you give a date, miss it, and say "Whatever, when it's done", it's basically pissing on your audience.
