utc is what? gmt?

Yeah. May be an hours difference for DST but not sure.

Also, as far as I'm aware digital copies from GoG are midnight premium unlocks. Can't be sure of that though as a fair few people on the GoG forums are throwing hissy fits, may just be a time difference though.

Oh the gog installer has paused at the last 100 meg !!! Is that supposed to happen ?

I believe so yes, those final files decrypt when the game goes live.

GOG Digital Premium Addition!!!

Support the developer as they get all the money from the sale, Plus you get some nice extras and a choice of a free game. Win Win.

I am trying to figure out, other than a few *.JPGs, what bonus content there is. '10 carefully crafted HD wallpapers' is hardly something to shout about.

I did order from GoG, BTW, just not too sure why it is 'premium'.

The potential midnight launch would go a long way towards that. I'm more than willing to take the hit at work tomorrow for a good few hours on the game tonight.

How do you get the free game ? I clicked on content and it says not available until 17th but i can download a free game by clicking a link, the link returns nothing ? Are the free games any good anyways ? There's a few games on the shelf but the look crap.

Edit, it's in the email.....

You also get the artbook from the retail Collector's Edition in a digital form.

I think it's worth the extra few quids purely for supporting the developers directly. Any future DLC will be free anyway (besides expansion packs, if they decide to do them).

Yep, same.

If I'd went with ShopTo like I'd considered (but with no pre-order bonus), I could be reading the extras and admiring my papercraft right now in anticipation.

They've done this on a few games lately i've pre-ordered so it probably will be 6pm.(i am at work

)

Nothing from Amazon here either. They were good with Portal 2 i ngetting it here on time. Absolute joke that a pre-order isnt even atempted to be delivered on time.

Same. Damn its long but damn its good.

Too true. Keep telling myself that I must wait, but I am getting more and more tempted to order this.

Also, good luck to those ordering from Amazon, you are going to need it

I did have luck, my Amazon order was dispatched a few hours ago

Hopefully they'll start sending out the rest of your orders soon too!

RaMDOM · 16 May 2011 at 15:28

Mine was dispatched at 9m this morning so I am praying to the postal God

. Ordered mine from Gameplay who are always consistent.

Agree with the ShopTo statement - they have become pretty darn awesome lately in getting preorders out and with their customer service.

Pestilence · 16 May 2011 at 15:38

Order now despatched from Amazon.

Good thing I paid for 1st class delivery. Should have it tomorrow, now.

perox · 16 May 2011 at 15:41

The GoG version unlocks at 7am GMT tomorrow btw.

Frenzy · 16 May 2011 at 15:41

Im so gutted about the lack of preload on steam. I chose steam because like someone else has said I really hate having separate clients for my games. Its bad enough with the EA one...

I would have bought it off GOG if they allowed their keys to be merged with steam.
