The Countdown

from Sins Forums
Well i was just looking at the countdown and realized it means it's coming out in 1 day 4 hours and 25 minutes. Well, that's wrong. I can go and buy it when the store opens. So i won't even be there to see the countdown finish, i'll be playing already. So i think the 1 is extra because it comes out tommorow not the end of tommorow. Or am i just going crazy waiting for this to come out?

"and target and circuit city dont even know wtf im talking about when i entered sins in their search engines"

Not unusual. Their buyers arnt gamers. In fact Im not even sure if they are humans. I say that because I have never accually seen one, and its impossible to contact one. Just try... These business only intitys are unapproachable and I highly suspect run by A.I. from another world... Either that, or they dont exist at all and are only used for making excuses/placing the blame, when certain games come out that they dont have in stock, or get it a week after everyone else does... (snicker) ;)

So when the countdown ends, do we get an e-mail saying your can now download it? Also, is there some thing like a downloading waiting line like fileplanet has. I think it is called Pre-download where it leaves a window on and checks every minute to see if it is ready do download. I ask this because i have to be at work at 4:00 pm est which is said that is the time it will be ready for download. So if i'm allowed to click on the site and it checks for me and automaticly downloads it for me when i'm at work i want to know so i can play it right when i get home (and not study for my I/O psychology exam)! :(

Nope.

What happens is that sometime tomorrow afternoon (monday the fourth) SD -- which is on Eastern Standard Time, or GM -5 -- will upload the final version to the servers and make it accessible.

Is there any point staying up to when the countdown reaches zero to download it? Or will it take us a few hours to get our emails after that?

Likewise I was verry confused when I first sall the countdown timer. When I first loged onto the sight it sead 2:18:08 and I thought thay had rolled the release date back a full 2 weeks!!! thankfully when I started looking for the reason why thay roled back the realse date I noticed the date changing and realsied it was just a bad time to have loged onto the sight LOL.

Yes, but it's to much work.

But, will we, die-hard first timers, be getting a new key, or will our retail keys be the same as the beta key?

Sorry. I should have been more clear. What I was referring to is the fact that the countdown has no connection to the games release (its synced to your computers clock) -- you'll get your e-mail sometime today, probably in the late afternoon stardock time, which is to say EST or GMT -5. Sorry about answering the wrong half of the question. (I thought it was a when do we rather than a how do we...)


Yes, but it's to much work.

If you've already downloaded a beta, then your set -- you just need to uninstall then reinstall.
