Digital Downloaders

So since today 11/12 is here when do you think we will start downloading? will it be midnight Pacific time or will origin let us download early? Any ideas?

    I read somewhere for east coast not before 12h30 am but I'm going to check every hours after 9h tonight and really try at 12h30am.

    I just posted this same question! I ordered my digital download from Game Tree Mac. I am Eastern Time Zone in the USA so I am anxiously awaiting the same thing. But here is this. I found a countdown clock on Zupidoo's website that goes along with my eastern time zone. So let me know if you figure anything out!

    No one's very sure whether it's be midnight eastern or midnight each individual timezone, but it will be midnight, yes. There are about six hours left til midnight here in eastern time.

    I have pre-ordered the last 3 through origin and I'm in the central time zone. The last EP released just before midnight last time, so here is to them doing that again. 8)

    I'm on the east coast and I'm hoping for midnight! I'm staying up :)

    It better be, considering some who ordered the hard copies already had theirs arrive today. I feel EA should be rewarding those of us looking to decrease their carbon foot print, rather than have us get shafted cause the hard copies arrived early. I wish they would have released the DD today, since some of the hard copies arrived early.

    I concur, the game is already on walmart shelve here, and in light of finding out that some have even got theirs from ea, it would do no harm to open download servers early. I only choose digital download because I then do not have to keep up with disks. We pay the same amount as the hard disk copy, but they don't have to costs of the disk, packing or employee costs to add the data to the disks, so I think EA you have been doing digital download a little to long to keep letting us get the shaft. There is nothing worse than feeling like you got the better deal only to find out you didn't. I almost wish I would have waited because I could run 5 mins to Wal-Mart and be playing by last night.

    Gametree sends you a notification email when your download is available.

    Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.

    I got my email for Showtime around 12:30 AM EST and for Supernatural at about 12:45 AM EST but i know some people got them earlier than that.(closer to midnight) of course I live in the Eastern timezone so I don't if every timezone in NA gets it as 12 midnight EST.(although from posts in previous topics it seems that way.)

    Got my key from green man gaming less than an hour ago (not sure when it was available, I checked two hours ago and they didn't have it). Now downloading from origin.

    Raverna, since your downloading from Origin may I ask what time zone/country you're in?(: Just wondering so I can figure out when us EST people may be able to.

    I'm in SE Asia (GMT +7). I think the release date for the region is probably friday like most non US countries, but GMG.com gave me US version so I got the key today instead of friday.
