just wondering if there going to be a preload for digital versions

I'd assume so. I can't remember the last big title that wasn't pre-loadable.

I hope so.
i dont want to hover over the download button
waiting for it to go from greyed out to solid

and still dont know what time on the 22'nd
we can start playing

Yeah the countdown clock on http://www.ea.com/crysis-2 is counting down to 3:00 PM EST (5d 6h 33m) and Steam is telling me either 1:00 or 2:00 PM EST (approximately 5d 5h). Either way it seems odd that the timers are counting down to the afternoon instead of midnight which is when most games release.

thats ok, get it at wal-mart
at 12:01 am on the 22nd

have cyrsis 2 in hand
when the EA clock still has 14 hours to go

Sorry, but what is "preload"?

Preload is when you buy a digital copy of a game via a service like steam and are able to download most or all of the game before it goes on sale but can't play it until then.
