Note to all getting a voodoo doll and naming it after EA seems to work...I can now download then again it could be that they just opened it up to download.

EADM has now started pre-loading my special edition version (US).

@TheJist I ran into the same thing from D2D. It isn't an encrypted, time-locked install that many of the other people on this post have had, it appears to be the full installer but you can't do anything until they supply you with your serial number.

Yeah kinda sucks when I saw preload I was thinking more of it being installed and I just need to wait for the key but it seems that it will be the key even before the install.

The release date for NZ is a bit confusing since as far as I can tell all the stores here cant sell the game till the 11th (unless some store breaks the release date)

Downloading from Gamestop now. I'm curious, how exactly does this work: "This game has 3 licenses available. This means you may install the game on other computers and activate it up to 3 times."? I mean, I get the idea of it. Only 3 activations yadda yadda. But the technicalities of it are where I'm left clueless.

Hmm, there should not be any activation limits at all unless they add their own DRM on top.  I'll try to find out more on this.

Thank you! (:

Is EA withholding the Steam pre-load again trying to get people to use their God awful digital download service? Would have been nice for them to put some relevant or useful information in the OP pertaining to the largest digital distribution platform. Like "Is there going to be a preload for Steam?", that would be a good place to start.

[maselphie]

Is Direct2Drive the only awesome preloader right now? ^^

[Syrellaris]

Thanks Fernando Melo I apreciate it. It just gives me some insight on how companies work with releasing games. Always found it quite interesting .

Valve received the same unlock dates/times as everyone else.  I've asked the question of when we can expect this to begin, stay tuned.

Noticed that too - I'm waiting on confirmation of this.  I think the intent was to release at same time as Oz, but like many other places we typically need to observe the local street date, which would put it out a day later.

Fernando could you also tell me under what time zone South Africa  falls for this release?? We tend to switch between western europe and uk release dates. So would like some confirmation. Thanx in advance.

RSA is listed as midnight 11th local time (start of day 12th).

You sure Fernando?? So if the info is right we have to sit around basicly the whole friday and can only play our game on saturday??

[DarkWulfy]

EADM now shows my pre-order available as of 5 minutes ago. Whew!

This is almost like torture....mocking me from my HDD

[SimJoseph7]

They have changed the release date/time (to play the game) when launching the game (time check):

Your release date will be: March 8, 2011, 04:00

I have no idea if this is in 24hr format, a.m./p.m. or any other wild scheme. Oh, this is for Canada in the E.S.T.

Finally got e-mail and downloading on EADM now. So seems that EA might just be a little slow getting around to all the people (which doesn't surprise me any). Mine started right up tho, after I refreshed my games in EADM.

That's what is on the list currently - i've asked to confirm this.  When is the normal retail street date there, is it fridays or saturdays?

[MacMichael]

Hurray! My March 13th unlock date moved up to the correct March 8th, 0100.

[Lady Niltiak]

 There is something just totally awesome about pre-downloading.... (even if you have to heckle EA about it first) 

It feels so cool to have it on my computer. Even if I can't actually access the game yet.

Yeah mine is now saying 0300.

So checking again it seems that Direct 2 Drive pre-orders wont get the game until 10 am pst because that is when they are releasing the activation code any chance someone at bioware could convince them to release it earlier to get it installed? If the game already has a time lock on it shouldn't cause any problems.

[Daniteh]

Fernando can you please explain why every time i see "ready to download" on EADM (only happened twice out of the 4hours i've been watching), i click it, begin the download. Then button goes back to being "unreleased" and greyed out.

I have called EA, they told me to just wait, and were basically no help, and i've waited a while now, and still no progress.

I live in the US.

"Your release date will be: March-08-11, 01:00"

This must still be wrong, I'm sure it's supposed to read March 4th...

(Thanks Bioware )

Street date is usually fridays. Both dao and mass effect 2 were released on a friday. Only time games launches on a saturday is when there has been a shipping delay.

That sounds incredibly lame, and almost completely negates the entire point of being able to pre-load.

Moral of the story. Don't buy from Direct2Drive!

We're buying from the EA Store. I think that kinda removes us from the advice-giving pool
