hi all

girlfriend wants tropico 3, and steam shows it as available tomorrow rather than the 12/13 some retailers are.

so im thinking i will get it her from steam, what im wondering is if u buy it as pre order, does it allow u to download the files earlu (I.e today) and it just becomes available to play on release? or do i have to pre order and can only download the files once its available (and presumably when others are downloading the files)

thanks all

rubbish, paid for the game but in my games tab it just shows as "not yet released" no option to pre download the files :( unless im looking in the wrong place and anyone can enlighten me?
 
Pre-load on Steam generally only happens on super-popular titles like Left4Dead2 etc. They also tend to shout about the fact that you'll be allowed to pre-load it as part of the deal for pre-ordering.
