Preload would be 11/14/2014, right? But is not enabled on my origin client... any issues going on?

Yeah why does it matter where I am when we bought digital we are all one pople on the net why do we have to be excluded because we are from a different part of the world. We are all one people on the world wide net there should not be differences.

Short version because not all copies of the game are digital and retail release has its own complications due to logistical or traditional sale patterns.

Yeah but digital should be excluded and be equal.

Off topic: why does the Us always do month day year and not day month year like everyone else?

[Grengrad]

Re: Kantr

Neither format makes sense.

Everyone should use year, month, day.

My bet is because they are to used write dates like this "November, 18, 2014", which does not sound so bad IMHO, but when converting to numbers they preserve the information order, so it loses its original "sense/purpose". Just a guess

Pretty much.   In English, our adjectives come before our nouns.    So we say 'Brown Bear' rather than say, 'Ours Brun' in French.    Hence November is a description modifier of the 18th.   So November 18th.    That same format just carries over to the numerical representation as well.

Murika! According to Origin, I have less than 4 hours to preload. The wait is palpable. 4 days. "Can you feel it? I can feel it."

I would say "the 18th of November", not "November the 18th".

 

It makes more sense to provide the most pertinent information first.

PC download is to be today at 9am, my PS4 download I believe is the 16th or 17th.

Except its perfectly acceptable to say 18th of November in english. And given that the day is the most relevant part of a date putting Day month year is more useful and most of the english speaking world uses that format. This is another example of the USA changing something just to be different much like their spelling,

Like still using that non metric system. Which makes me wonder will this video games use it like when they  say wow that pride demon is 30 feet high instead they will say its 9 meters big.

well that's not quite it as adjectives go before nouns.

 

But thanks for the theories everyone

It makes sense if Dragon Age uses imperial units. It's based on medieval societies.

Where did you check that info? On Origin it shows 3 (Not am or pm, so I guess is 3 am, 24 hours format) and in which time zone? GMT? ET?

[The Goodjerk]

[Grieving Natashina]

I still can't download mine off of Origin.

 

Turned out to be a problem on my end.  Downloading now!

Is there a problem with that?

With steam and swtor update I get 7.5 mps, I think I get the same with origin.
