while I can understand the limitation of timing release for both XBOX and PS3, I totally can not understand the reasoning behind 10am PST for PC.
Why 10am ??

For us Australians,

PC - 10am PST is 15Feb2012, 5am AEDT. So early tomorrow morning.
XBOX360 - 2am PST -> 14Feb2012, 9pm AEDT. Later tonight.
PS3 - 4pm PST -> 15Feb2012, 11am AEDT. Tomorrow morning.

I'm Australian and I've got Battlefield 3, so WHEN exactly can I get EARLY access to the Multiplayer? HOW EARLY IS EARLY? In about 6 hours it will be too late to be early!

Early access for the MULTIPLAYER aspect is going to be the same day as it releases - those of us that didn't preorder BF3 will be waiting on that portion of the Demo until the 17th.  Single-player aspect is the same across the board, though.

For NSW and VIC?
QLD would be one hour before and WA another 3 I think.

Yep, that is correct.

Whoa, Whoa, Hang on a minute....I had to have PRE-ORDERED Battlefield 3!? I thought you only needed to have that Online Pass (Which everyone needs to play BF3 anyway)...so...what's the deal?

does anybody know what the demo will be rated? (age wise I mean)
because the KoA demo was 18+ and Origin only allowed me to download it between 11pm and 6am...

17+... I think is what it said, not a 100% though

Will our save data from ME1 & 2 port over to the demo? While trying the mechanics is my main goal, I'd still like to get a taste of the repercussions of my actions.

thats a negative. the demo acts like a new starting point rather than a continuation from the last game. just act like you didnt play the last two 

Sadfaise.

Me too. I got 100% Renegade Lazy Shepard with scars like Schwarzenegger in T2! If they see that Shepard and they know I'm killed two of them, well 3 if I count ME1. NVM
I just bought in beat the Arrival DLC. I just want to prepare myself and see Admiral Hackett in real. So, that time is when in my timezone? I live in europe so GMT, my zone is GMT +1.

Hahahahahaha yeah i can't fight the consoles might as well get one someday!! Well looking forward to the demo.

[Wisegal]

I hate it when real life gets in the way of my gaming, LOL. I guess I'll be downloading after my AM classes tomorrow. There's no way I can get away with waiting until 5AM for XBL to update. *bummer*

Happy demo playing everyone!

[creapsmantic]

just google ( PST ) for pst time

[kSAntiS]

holy crap 13 more hours !!!!! 0_0

[NyxStele]

Yeah the 360/PS3 times make sense, that's about when they usually update the stores. Sometimes even later for PSN.

But the PC thing is kind of odd. You'd think Origin would want to practice a midnight pacific time release now, before the actual game happens in 4 weeks. A nice trial run to work out the kinks before people who have paid money get really annoyed when the game itself is delayed.

[cngreenland]

I miss my xbox. PS3 demo is coming way too late

[Shunt Mcblunt]

I have a nice little note in my BF3 box stating I get Multiplayer early access. Please note I expect to get my early access. I hope you understand by this being in my box you are contractually obligated to allow me to play it. If not you will be breaking the "Legal Rights" you set. Please be aware and understand. Bioware, If you need further information please message me.

In truth this reads

Hi, I am an ass, I want to tell you that I am going to be an ass about things, There is no reason for me to be an ass about this but I will anyway despite the fact errors can occure and they can be fixed up with a simple visit to support.

[RC_JB]

This is gay 4 pm for ps3? wtf man.

[EndlessNE7]

2am xbox yes

[Shunt Mcblunt]

Argol sorry you think me to be the ass. I do not get you to go thru levels of ToS's, EUA, SA, etc..... Not to mention Origin just to play the game. Yes, printing something and putting it in a box makes them legally responsible. This is the rules they play the game by to make money. I guess because I am not the company making the money turns me into a bad guy. So be it I am used to wearing that black cowboy hat just like the white one. Do not think me evil for following the law. It is their to protect us from being taken advantage of by others.
