There's a countdown timer on the CDKeys homepage, according to that it's midnight.

The special edition is currently £49.99 on there, with 25 gold bars.

Edit: doesn't say you get gold bars now, it says +DLC instead.

Same here but I wonder what happens to anybody who deleted that email and waits expecting another email to arrive

It does seem an odd system. I kept the email myself, but with other stores you can log into your account and see your keys.

The midnight EST start time must be global come to think of it because its not yet been unlocked in New Zealand and they are already into the 5th Nov. So I reckon it will unlock for us at Midnight EST - which will be 5am tomorrow morning.

Having said that...according to one website...

"
When Does RDR2 Unlock on the Rockstar Games Launcher?

We have received confirmation from Rockstar that Red Dead Redemption 2 will unlock at 5am PT/ 8am ET / 1pm GMT on November 5th globally. This will mean Red Dead Redemption 2 won't unlock until 2am on November 6th in New Zealand, for example."

So thats saying 1pm tomorrow !

And download completed ! :)

That is just a fan made website isn't it? Not an official site
Yep Fan site. Also does not say the time zone. I thought it was EST it was going live on. Will have a dig about.

Ohh didn't think about that, just saw another person post it here. Thanks Strudders for clearing it up.

Yeah I think those midnight countdowns are literally just countdowns which are set to the 5th Nov, rather than an actual time on the 5th Nov. Its kind of weird that theres no official announcement of the actual time.

You think they could be trolling the whole release? Imagine that! :p

I appreciate that I'll be starting my download at half six tonight during peak time but if anyone has Virgin 200mb download speeds, what we're your rough speeds and time to download?.

I played this for a couple of hours on the Xbox before shelving it to await a PC version. I did the exact same with GTA V. I am hoping that I get lucky again and that this turns out to be great value for money as GTA V was.

Preload maxed my VM 100 connection, it came down at a steady 13MB/s.
