This is from steam.

Available: May 9th, 2011
This game will unlock in approximately 1 week, 4 days and 13 hours

So I hope the preload starts next week. :flamethrower:

Thanks for the heads up.

Damn, it says approx 2 weeks and 8 hours for me. And May 13th.

Bummer Rev, Yea the ninth would be a Monday and I have never seen a game relese on a Monday only Tueaday.

The official release date is also the 10th, not the 9th.

My guess, the North American release will unlock at midnight EDT on the 10th for all time zones, so anyone west of the Eastern Time Zone will get it late at night on the 9th. This is only a guess however, if I remember correctly the FONV release was midnight Pacific time, not Eastern.

(Note, mods aren't employees and aren't privy to any information that hasn't been released to the public - my speculation is merely my own.)

I say screw the date. as long as that countdown is going down thats all I am looking at :] 11Days, 8 Hours, 16 minutes, and 20 seconds <3
