They are not down. They are under maximum bandwidth which in my experience says its released anytime

They are down in the sense that everyone is refreshing to find out when the damn demo is coming out swollowing the bandwidth

same thread, few posts down, from another user:

"AWESOME! Thanks, Pred! I can't wait for tommorow...errr, later today. (it's 12:30 am here)"

So would point to the post being made late yesterday pacific, early eastern, or 5am here.

No one ever said it would be released at 10AM PST.

They said it would be 10AM PST at the earliest.

Maybe someone could build a lot of hackers and crack the unlock key...

That's a screwed up quote from the EA Forums. The official post doesn't say that and your quoting a 3rd party site? They've added their own interpretation of the post, which is the same as what you got wrong. They've mucked up the transfer from PST to GMT.

LOOK

POST =

"EVERYONE READ THIS - FORUMS AND DEMO
Posted:Feb 26, 2007 5:27 AM"

WHICH EQUALS = 1:27 PM GMT Feb 26th

END OF POST = ...

"C&C is officially back tomorrow as the demo for Command &# 38; Conquer 3 will be going live on our official site at www.commandandconquer.com AND EA LINK, as well as FilePlanet.com whom we know many of you have already pre- loaded with. Keep your eyes peeled on both sites for the moment the file is live, tomorrow is the day!

Going to be until at least 10AM PST time, no need to stay up a ll night.... "

SO THAT MEANS, TOMORROW AT 10AM PST = 6PM GMT (27TH FEB)

So how do you explain the fact that I read that forum post at 9.30AM GMT this morning? :cool:

The 5.27 is the GMT time.

5.27 - 8 = yesterday :cool:

sarutobi · 26 Feb 2007 at 19:43

Robert · 26 Feb 2007 at 19:44

Are the forums setup for your specific time zone? I think they are.

tang0 · 26 Feb 2007 at 19:44

well even still if they are set up as local time, tomorrow at 10am PST means tomorrow at 6pm GMT

Please God make it stop.

I shall proceed to spoonfeed this difficult concept to you:

1) The thread was made yesterday.

2) The thread says the demo "will be posted tomorrow".

3) Seeing as the thread was made yesterday (see step 1), it would impy the demo is coming today.
