Just checked with the Direct2Drive people partly because it is my first pre-order through them and to see if they had a load time.

I was told that my pre-order button would change to the 'Download" button at 10:00 AM 3/22/11 PST.

That would be somewhere around 1:00 PM or 1300 hours for those of us on the East Coast.

So I do not have to stay up tonight! Whooopeeee!

Downside: Hmmm...not much of a headstart. Oh well. LOL!

Thought I would share the info. Happy Crysis-ing!

Steam says that it will be 'Unlocked' in 19 hours, which is around 10:00AM EST
Which is when i'll fist try to download it.

Oh great.

Preordered form EAStore, the OFFICIAL Store. And I'm only going to get it in 25 th.

Are you sure about that? That doesn't sound right.

yep he's right
