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:
DCDeacon [i]Pete Hines[/i] wrote:@jakelear Will let folks know where we'll be doing big midnight events and which (if any) we will be at. Still working on it.

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.

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..

So, basically, when I wake up on 11/11/11, around 5:00 am, Skyrim will be in the stores?

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.
