Ok so i wanted to post on the steam forums but couldn't, i also could only find this forum so i hope it's the right place

Anywhoo's Ebgames says F: NV is available in Australia on the 21st of October, though steam says the game is available the 18th of October which would be Evening "Sometime" on the 18th in Australia (Since time differences)

Anyways my question is, if i pre-order this game off steam, will i be able to play it on the "18th" of October as steam has advertised? or will there be some region restriction that i can't play it because it's not out in Australia.

Would be a nice pre-order bonus to be able to play it a few days early, or rather the same time as the U.S

Thank you if anyone knows the answer, much appreciated

P.s I hope i can nuke more than one place (megaton) in F: NV, was bad ass!

Actually, it comes out on the 22nd, according to EB Games (Australia). But, no, you would'nt get it on the 18th, I'm afraid, but on the day it comes out in Australia.

Steam can probably tell what country you are in and has appropriate region locks. But honestly idk the answer.

More than likely this is the date you can start downloading the game, but some files will be held back until release day, like the core exe or something. This way the release day rush is spread out. Now, I am just guessing, but that makes the most sense to me.

I dont know if this helps, but I learned that JB HIFI has the mercenary pack for pre order, so thats what I got... :celebration:

oh how i hope the australian board of 90 year old virgin grannys dont hold the release date back like with L4D franchise

:P I laughed at that!

Australia should get the game early for giving the world Mad Max! (and by that i mean Mel Gibson)
