Call of Duty: Black Ops Preloads

Steam and Direct2Drive each are offering preloads of Call of Duty: Black Ops for customers who have preordered or pre-purchased the military shooter sequel (Direct2Drive is also offering an additional 20% off any other Call of Duty game). The Direct2Drive page says has this to say about when the game will unlock: "Current Release Date: November 9th, 2010 at 7AM PST." For its part, the Steam page currently says: "This game will unlock in approximately 14 hours," which would seem to be about 10:00 am tomorrow morning, but according to what an Activison rep told Shacknews, store-bought copies can be unlocked as soon as they are purchased, even though they use Steam as well.

It's all over the tv about the midnight release. Not for pc though, you guys don't get it till 7am...PST. Hope you r not on the east coast, can't play till 10am!

Which is fine because I gotta work tomorrow during the day anyways. As long as it unlocks before 4PM when I get home I am happy.

I'll be in the door around 4PM EST as well, and playing Black Ops about 5 minutes later. I hope I remember to eat.

I wish I could understand the reasoning behind unlocking the game nearly 12 hours after the retail game is released.

PR suits are so full of common sense that I'm sure there's a good reason..... Brood
