The Steam release times are generally in the retail agreement... you can often get a game earlier by going retail, the whole "play it first" thing really only applies to Valve releases that come out at midnight.

1 day and 5 hours. OOOOOOOOOOh Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh :twothumb

Amazon preorder has shipped... woo-hoo.

Tomorrow I will be killing fools.

I plan to use this game for part 2 of my long delayed 'I Don't Play Multiplayer' series as well, if anyone actually cares.

1st and last time I will pre-order a game on Steam. I'm an instant gratification guy and the thought of waiting for an electronic download longer then had I just stopped by Fry's on my way home...doesn't sit well with me.

I should have known better

Good move, start a game that millions of people haven't been playing for years.

I live in Panama, I've got no choice but to order from Steam. I could wait for it to show up in stores on PC but that could take weeks and will cost upwards of +$90USD. Kind of sucks but whatever, this game is going to be sweet.

Looking forward to that. Liked the previous entry.

Btw, mine says 2 days and 4 hours...

Preloads are and always have been pretty rare on Steam.

I am going to use a VPN to try and trick the EA DLer version of BC2 into thinking I am in the US.... who knows I may get it at 7 oclock tonight, rather than some time this Friday :evil:

Yeah, the Preload not being available really doesn't bother me much. What had my panties in a twist was that the unlock time was slated to be 5:00pm pst which was a full 9 hours later than I could drive to the store to purchase it.

However, it looks like Steam has updated the unlock time to "~17 hours" from now which puts it right at 8am pst.




...of course...my work calendar went in the last 60 minutes from having no meetings tomorrow to having 4 of them. :?
