AI, no question.
I'd rather have a great game when I have the time, and not a decent one (no offense, of course - it's relatively speaking :P ) when I have a spare minute.

However, a friend of mine was bummed when he came home to discover a game he left at short notice was lost to a blackout.
Assuming on-the-spot saves also goes for crash backup and recovery, as far as implementation goes, I'd REALLY hate to have that aforementioned "great game" shot by something so unforseeable.
So if the next version will be as good as I'm expecting it to be, I think latening the release date in favour of secure play might just be a good idea...
But I must add that I think N! should not be crash-proof. 1) that'll be a loophole and 2) the game's cruel enough to let that attitude creep slightly into the real world, pitting Arch-Viles and thunder storms against the character and player, respectively ;)
