I know it's not official but under Steam it gives you the option to pre-load...

 

[Tech-Boy]

Yes me too. Downloading now!!!!

 

[madcowdis]

Downloading!!!

Super excited

 

[TheRockMonsi]

I think I want to get this game...NOW!!!!! But I know I'm not gonna play it until I upgrade my PC's cooling to water.

Love it when preloading is available

Can't wait for this game!

I wonder if you start steam in offline mode after you pre-load and set your clock ahead if you'll be able to play it?

 

[AndAllThingsWillEnd]

Haha, I don't think so...

Short answer. No.

 

[xBlitzerx]

Maybe the early release rumors are true?

 

[nagle3092]

I didnt by the game yet (waiting for a sale) but it was worth a shot.

The game files are encrypted. Good luck with that.

Fairly certain even with pre-load, you don't download the entire game. Not only are the files locked, but you're missing a selection of key files.

Thanks! Loading....

Exactly. This is precisely why even after a preload there are a couple MBs of files to download and then the decryption process...

Ah ok, I never pre-loaded any games through steam so I didnt know how they where locked down.

 

[Boyboyd]

Pre-loading now. Hope they get the activation right this time.

I downloaded Mafia II the other night, my ISP isn't going to approve of about 18GB in 2 days. lol

 

[Ipwnnubletz]

YES!

The time has come! Downloading at the moment.
