Question about the release time..

Post by Frogmander »

Just to clarify, is it the midnight of thursday leading into friday, or the midnight of friday leading into saturday?

12 october:
@iEnvC Yup. Releases at 12:01 am on 11/11/11 wherever you live.
5 october:
@Aimman383 It will likely be available on Steam when t's available in your territory. So 12:01 am, your time, on 11/11. That's my guess

12 am is midnight, unless something's changed. :wink: Hope wherever you live includes other countries. Means I'll get Skyrim before the rest of you, well except the Kiwis. :lol:

But the two quotes below it (not the ones I'm posting now, which also contradict it) contradict the one above (11-11-11 1200 hours). I'm going to have to check Twitter for myself.

Edit:

Will Skyrim be unlocked in Steam when it's 11/11/11 in the US or would it be unlocked when it's 00:00 11/11/11 in my time zone?
@DoreoC your time zone

Yes, midnight, as soon as it turns the 11th.
Definately attending the midnight release, for sure.

I think pete made a mistake. It's 100% releasing at midnight.
Not changing this until Skyrim comes out, and even then, I'll probably be too busy... playing Skyrim...

Pete has said midnight almost half a dozen times, although I never saw him say mid-day. I don't think he made any mistakes.

Is it bad I always attend the midnight releases? :3 lol. I remember when I got fable 3 on the midnight release...I just got it at some small local game store (Though a very very reliable and good game store, love that place) and the whole place was filled XD Thank god they have a place to pick it up if you had preordered it so you didnt have to wait in line...I hope skyrim is like that 3: I hate lines..

I wouldn't count on it being available in stores that long. It could legitimately sale out before you get there if you wait too long.

<3 for Preordering. My copies are assured >:D

And heaven in a wild flower,
