If we pre-ordered it from EA store using the digital download, what time does it come active to install.  It says Tue Mar 16 12:00:00 CDT 2010, so does that mean like at noon?

I am unable via EA, as of yet. 12:00:00 CDT-- not sure if they use a 24-hour clock, but if they do, I'm afraid we're stuck until noon. Otherwise, if they use a 12-hour clock, it should be available by now.

Been updating the order history / purchase details section on the EA Store website every 10 minutes since 12am CDT and nothing so far.

We just need to be a little more patient, I guess... I do confess I'm starting to get a little bit impatient, though. Oh well, gotta suck it up and wait some more.

Edit - After almost an hour and a half waiting and hoping EA Store would release the digital version of the game at 12am instead of 12pm with a "slight" delay today, I get to the sad conclusion: 12pm it is!

Can't help feeling really disappointed at this, but one thing I know for sure: I've learned my lesson.

I'm off to bed. Good night.

Yep, I've about had it with EA. They have a train wreck going on with Sims 3 and all the bugs, they... Oh nevermind. You've heard it before. They take good things and fock them up.

It should be available in about 40 minutes, relax.



And no....steam would be much longer.

From the Steam Store page:

Available: March 16th, 2010

This game will unlock in approximately 13 hours

No simple yes or no because it has been unclear as there has been no word from devs. While it is listed to appear on the PS3 via disc,  I can say the NA PSN store is a holy hot mess when it comes to what gets released and what doesn't (see for comparison, JPN PSN store - they get all the good stuff) so don't hold your breath and maybe think about getting the disc (may even be cheaper too given prices on PSN store)

- Then again I shouldn't talk. I got Awkening on PC via EA insead of my 360/PS3 since I got the original on PC and want to carry over my save... and there has been no word on the EA Direct Download... but EA sure took my money. Image IPB

Who needs to "relax"? What now? Image IPB
Those be fighting words.
Since when typing "I should have gotten it on steam" becomes a requisite for the need to relax? Image IPB

40 mins is good news, though if I may inquire - was it a post from one of the devs that gave the tip off?Image IPB

Should I really wait 40 mins on thy word, or take a damn nap given it is past 2AM? Image IPB

Wrong topic, but PSN version should go up on thursday worldwide.



I don't have info on EA store, but suspect it is similar with other digi distributors - I will check in with them once in the office tomorrow, but hopefully it'll be up by then already.



Something to keep in mind is that digi distributors often still need to go out same day as retail in the different countries they support - again, not sure personally - but if that is the case and you are in EU/Oz you may need to wait until Thurs/Fri when the official street date is in those regions.

So for NA digi distribution from EA/Direct2Drive etc we have to wait until Thursday?

Now that is why BioWare is a class act.
2:40AM est, knowing ravenous CRPG nuts are on their PCs salivating & throwing temper tantrums with their panties in a bunch, and they are up and about to throw us geeks a bone. Image IPB

Bravo. I'll take that as "Take my damn arse to bed" Image IPB

Yeah, and how 'bout confirming DA 2 and the cryptic date cards in the hardcopy while you're at it. Go ahead. Drop the bomb on this forum, Fernando!

It's called "viral marketing".

Honestly not sure - I only mentioned that as a possible reason why it may not be up for EU/Oz folks.  For NA, I would have assumed it would be up later today at some point, but it is up to the digi distributor.

I see. Hopefully the EU and Kiwis can get there hands on it at the same time the rest of us do. Thanks for the reply.

So that is what I missing out on not being in the office anymore... early deets on bombs being dropped with expansion releases.

Oh my, let the speculation begin! Image IPB
Well that is enough to give me pleasant dreams during my nap and hopefully it will appear on the NA EA store in the next few hours so I can download during breakfast. Image IPB

I can confirm that currently at this time: 12:21 pacific time, Direct-to-Drive Awakening still shows as pre-order status.

That tells me it may be available..as Origins was by about ten am Pacific time, or perhaps this time around they are coordinating release with other digi retailers..and its gonna be noon for all of us...LOL  ( Canada by the way)

Anyways..no more waiting for me...sleepy time. :)

Going to the EA store and selecting New Zealand, it shows the NZ details and price with release date 16th March. Going to the EA NZ store, it shows 16th March until you click to buy it. Then the date changes to 19th March.

There are no geographical borders on the Internet - a download is a download and it's bad enough that prices get hiked in some countries without digi sites restricting downloads to certain countries. Paying more for the same bytes of data across the Net annoys me. Waiting another 3 days just because of the country I live in annoys me even more. Only because I love DA (despite it costing me NZ$125 for Origins and another $60 for Awakening - which I can't get yet).

I just wish that Bioware had some influence here and a release date and time applied to everyone, worldwide.
