They already gave a number somewhere... but its sometime in the afternoon in the US, I believe.

Actually, IIRC they said around 3pm GMT...

so, around 9-10am for the US and Canada...

No. think LATE afternoon.  Whoever said 3pm GMT was mistaken. There's no way that'll happen.

You do know Canada has 6 time zones and the USA 4?

It'll be 12:30 am for me.

looking at Frogboy's post, seems i am mistaken. I took it that the count down timer on the site was the time until release (digital download time). Of course i'm having a fit of insomnia so i may just be tired.


and where did the edit button go?

I'm in Alaska so I get to download it earlier in my day.

I'm in New Zealand, it sucks to be so far ahead - it is pretty much tuesday for us when it comes out. Yes, I know it is still the same amount of time to wait, but it's a psychological thing...

What about us Aussies, does anyone know what time it be out for us ?

Yeah guys, I said NOT BEFORE 3pm GMT. As in, we're certainly not putting it out before we even open for the day (i.e., no midnight release!). When it actually will appear during the day, who can know? :p

The countdown is javascript based on your system clock, so it's just approximate.

Well, GMT+1 here, so also effectively a Tuesday release. That might be better anyway, with the new GC2 beta coming out this week. :D

Im in Australia as well. Based on say something like a 4pm Monday EST (US) release, that will equate to 8am Tuesday morning for people in NSW (like myself). Same for VIC, QLD - 7am, SA - 7:30am. If your in another state you should be able to work out the difference from these times.

Do we have a definitive time then? Days before release I'd have thought we could know an exact time.

I can't understand why stardock/ironclad does not want to tell us the online release time! I know we're all are frantically going to try to get it the all monday! Why not spare us some waiting time? Why as a gift the one who have pre ordered it can't have it at midnight, there is no competition against the other retailer in this case...

just wach the online time counter i do belive it includes hours WWW Link
Reply #24 from Sins Forums Top
The online counter is based on your local time, so it's a rough estimate at best.

At a guess, there is some arcane and mysterious process to putting the game up for download, and they don't know how long its going to take. (More like: they want to test the heck out of every single step to avoid a repeat of the whole "downloads out of date!" fiasco :D )
