The Countdown

from Sins Forums
Well i was just looking at the countdown and realized it means it's coming out in 1 day 4 hours and 25 minutes. Well, that's wrong. I can go and buy it when the store opens. So i won't even be there to see the countdown finish, i'll be playing already. So i think the 1 is extra because it comes out tommorow not the end of tommorow. Or am i just going crazy waiting for this to come out?

it might have to do with half the world being a day ahead or behind or whatever. i have no idea, i noticed too but didnt really put any thought to it. :NOTSURE:

The countdown is based upon your computers Date and time.

To me this means that they are releasing the game at 11:59 pm Monday Night for download....

my computer says it is the third so shouldn't it have a release date set for tommorow instead of the day after?

That's strange. Apparently it is based on your computer's time, and set to expire at midnight on the fourth...which happens to be the start of the 5th.

Programming error perhaps :P. Someone forget that 12:00 pm on the 4th is not the same as 12:00 pm on the 3rd :P.

BTW a lot fo game stores in the US arent crrying Sins unless you preorder it. IM talking about all of the EB's and Game Stops. Even if you do order from them you have to wait till their shipment arrives on the 5th.

The *ship* date is the 4th, so most stores won't have it until the 5th

On futur shop.ca it said available on the 4th of feb so look at that. Maybe im just bad at reading.

The countdown is only approximate and is based on your local clock.

Futurshop.ca has the release date of the game at 04, but i don't think they mean that's when they will get it.

Futureshop always puts the release date of games as the ship date, then once the ship date comes they list it as Out of Stock until they actually get it. Literally they do it for every game

Approximate for the download-release, or worldwide store release?
Will we be downloading it before 23:00 GMT on the 4th or not?

I'm going to say since the hours can't go over 23...that the One DAY could be anywhere from 1 to 23 hours.
