You mean "street date" is being thrown out the window in favor of "shipping date" (dated embargo vs. when you get it? What's the point of Emergence Day? Does "Emergence Day" mean something else then?

I think I remember reading that in the storyline of the game, "Emergence Day" is the day that the Locust Horde emerged from underground. I think they really wanted the release date to be strict like Halo 2's release date, but since it's so close to the PS3 launch I think they're reconsidering to just get it out there ASAP.

I am guessing they just mean they won't have the typically super-strict regulations on selling Gears of War before its release date. Most game developers are usually very strict with their release dates, some stores go as far as firing some employees for stock games on the shelf before their release date.

This is because some developers will fine an offending store $500 (and up) for each copy sold before release date that is documented with a receipt.
