I'm in Australia and it's saying 1 day 23 hours for me too. I thought we were supposed to get it a day earlier than retail release :s
Same story here. Was hoping to play tomorrow.
Same. Can we get some Bioware or EA rep to kindly inform Steam that they have obviously made a mistake as we were clearly promised a March 9th Midnight unlock...

2 promo codes? I only got one. What was the 2nd?
It gave me the black emporium I think. Check your D2D, the second promo code is under your "my games" as if its a seperate game, but its just a promo code.
EDIT: Did you get the 360 and ps3 stuff as well? Its weird that I did.
Yea I found them. It was in a seperate email. Yea it gave me xbox and ps3 as well. It did that with DAO too.

I am an impatient person, but I'm pretty sure making people play a game at 3:00 AM as opposed to midnight is... not especially nefarious, or indicative of much contempt for anyone . Can North American EA customers play at midnight EST legitimately anyway?
It should be based on time of location. Midnight no matter what zone your in. Makes sense. Just like when they have mid night launches at gamestop. You dont have to wait 3am EST because It's Midnight PST. You get the game as soon as your time zone hits midnight.
D2D is being silly with this.
Again, its not D2D, it's EA. EA decided not to turn on the PC servers in North America until 3AM EST/midnight PST.

Hi Dragon Age 2 PC gamers.
Many of you have been asking when you can pre-load Dragon Age 2 onto your machines. Pre-loading happens with digital versions of DA2 and is installing the game so it is ready to play once the unlock time arrives. Pre-loading is not available from all retailers. Check with your retailer to see if they offer pre-loading. You have also been asking when the game will unlock so you can start playing, which applies to digital and retail PC copies. These pertain to PC versions and not to console versions of Dragon Age 2.
Pre-Loading is based on the region you live in. Pre-loading of digital versions begins at the following times:Unlocking is based on the official game release date for the region you live in. The PC versions, both digital and retail, will unlock beginning 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
Get ready, Dragon Age 2 is almost here.
- Asia/Pacific region – 0000h on March 8th
- Canada & United States – 0000h on March 8th
- Russian Federation - 0200h on March 8th
- Western Europe – 0000h on March 10th
- Australia & New Zealand – 0000h March 9th
- Central and South America - 1700h March 10th
- Eastern Europe – 0000h March 11th
- Great Britain & Ireland – 0000h March 11th
So it was a joke? You lied to us? The only reason for me to bye the game on Steam was to get it to daus earlier! And now Steam store writes that I have to wait 2 days more! Damned liers!

Unlikely as Fernando Melo himself said its based on PST.

Even though it seems it's not, it's based on ALASKA time. unless they changed it earlier today?

I asked on the forums and they said it was the publisher's choice.
They always say that.
