Kinda sour though, knowing the game is appearently already out there, able to be played. while we got to wait till the 11th for it to unlock =/ 

Well who know, bugs exist, if at least for once, a bug could benefit to players instead of always be a burden, that would be a nice change. 

The point is beside some obscure EA management and strategical choices, those fixed dates are defined for psychological selling purpose, just to not let spread the word that digital will be available before box versions. They are worry that such rumors will decrease boxes sells and as a consequence the global sells.

But it's purely imaginery and theory, digital versions will be available before box, not much stores around the world will make any midnight sell so all of that is so fake.

Its hard not to blame the crackers, I mean its agony waiting 3 more days arbitrarily to play it when its ready.

It's not legal tender until the launch date.

Having to wait until the 8th when it's on the machine is bad, but I really hope the times all get switched to 00:00.

Anyone else buy from EA and getting this: Your release date will be: Tuesday, March 08, 2011, 03:00

???

It doesn't get them anywhere. A friend of mine used a "crack" to unlock DA2, but the EA servers are refusing to let him enter his activation keys. So I don't see how cracking it to unlock early would help

Unfortunately, games won't unlock at 00:00 local time for everyone. Usually a company like steam will unlock a game at 00:00 Eastern Time (USA). Having to wait for each time zone would be rediculous. In the past, I've seen games unlock for US/CAN all at the same time... usually based on ET as ET comes first.. then I've seen EU games usually unlock at 00:00 GMT+-0 (BST).

I wonder what Russia did to get the game the same day as US? Other than having the game be published by local EA.
Also, does it mean that by time zones, Russia will actually get it *earlier* then US?

Russia has nukes

Got the pre-load email from gametree yesterday, download was quite quick .

Problem though, I registered my promo code on the website, and the items still haven't appeared ;_;

[Eludajae]

Matt,

I ordered mine last year and its showing a March 4th Ordering date. I am supposed to have the signature DA2 and I am not seeing anything indicating that I got it.

[TallBearNC]

If you try to enter codes now, nothing will show up as it's not the 8th yet. Personally if you have codes, I wouldn't even try to enter them before the 8th/11th depending where you are. EA is known for it's #@$ ups with codes... especially codes entered EARLY.

[Matt Ca]

Just finished talking to EA.. they told me not to worry about it so I shall see on the 8th.. although it could just be a system problem, as the 3rd tome hasn't appeared yet..

[ARTHURIUSS]

So I just finished downloading my preload from EADM and after installation I find a folder in my program files named Dragon Age 2 and it's size is 5.18 gb.Can someone confirm this size because I hear everyone's is 5.23 and I have a bad feeling it didnot download properly:/

Pre-Loading is based on the region you live in. Pre-loading of digital versions begins at the following times:

• Asia/Pacific region – 18:00 GMT on March 4th
• Canada & United States – 18:00 GMT on March 4th
• Russian Federation - 18:00 GMT on March 4th
• Western Europe – 10:00 GMT March 7th
• Australia & New Zealand – 09:00 GMT on March 8th
• Central and South America - 10:00 GMT on March 8th
• Eastern Europe  – 10:00 GMT March 8th
• Great Britain & Ireland – 10:00 GMT on March 8th

What. The. Hell.

What in joves is wrong with you w*nkers! Britain is not in Eastern Europe! Sure there are a lot of polish people here, but if you look at a map, we're on the left hand side of Europe (that's what west looks like on a map). We're part of your main anglophone market, dammit! If there's one thing you could do to encourage piracy, it's releasing the game four days late in a country which speaks exactly the same language as the first area to get the game! 

Who took this logic and turned it into, 'Hey, lets give the game to the French before our 70 million strong english speaking market! '

Dragon Age, I like. The story writers, I like. The named staff, I like. You, I like. Bioware, I like. Whoever decided this schedule? Well I'll just say they should be left out in the Deep Roads with a crossbow and a single bolt.

 i live in the US, but when i do a unlock time check it says 4:00 not 0:00

Can't agree more, whoever made this schedule doesn't seem to have an understanding of time... or doesn't have a map :S

Then customers' money should not be legal tender until the release date. And we should be able to withdraw our money at any time after the retailer has received it.

This gets very complicated, however, as mandatory cooling off periods vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and some places probably don't have them at all.

So according to the download page on Direct2Drive they will not release the key codes until 10am PST. I could be playing at midnight if I wouldn't have bought it from them! Looks like I won't be playing until Noon in my time zone.

Although....I did get the game for $37.07 due to them accidentally letting me use my 15% member discount and a 20% coupon together

Yeah, it apparently is unlocking at 4am EST, 1am PST. Why it isn't happenning at 12am PST at very least , I have no idea. Oh well.

Mine says 04:00.  Why are we getting so many different stories?  None of it makes sense.

Create a support request and ask them why. Seriously.

I burned one of my precious vacation days for this. I want to play as much as humanly possible.

[McNeill]

I'm looking so much forward to this game.....counting down to the few days now

[fpngan2001]

Oh how I love D2D! Got It downloaded and now just need to wait for the 8th to get my key and install! WoohoO!@

...I think Chris Priestly ist just... wrong. Because the pre-load went up on Steam *yesterday* and I'm sitting here with a complete Steam pre-load of it. And I'm in England.

I guess he might have screwed up the unlock time as well.

[stefan9]

My preload from gamersgate just became active. Not sure under what zone I fall when using the site. So I will be all set to play friday when it unlocks, do hope the ea/bw server will be fooled and lets me play on tuesday thought.
