It'll be released on 25th so no, you can't play a game that isn't yet released in your country. It should be activated on friday at 7 o'clock GMT.

Wow you got yours quick! Play.com have posted mine today so it might arrive tomorrow. Didn't know we'd get the EA activation stuff though, I want to test out my server too.

I might not describe the situation quite that strongly. It's not yet released, you can't play it. You can't use a movie ticket until showtime.

Would you rather them not sell it in advance? That you'd have to be in a checkout queue instead of having a blast at your computer already?

I might be looked down upon for doing this, but I pre-loaded the game on Steam, then used a proxy server in the US so that I could decrypt the files. I like in UK and I've been playing the game last night and today.

Are CD Keys country based? If not, I could also just use an American Proxy and register it from there ;O

Morning likely, as EA tend to release games at midnight PST.
