Where are you getting yours at???

direct2drive used a proxy site to buy the game, us version and will be able to download it as soon as its released, according to direct2drive bad company 2 is unlocking at 10am PST so banking that sh5 will do the same

Well, if it does start letting people download then, they have my money, Steam is saying we have to wait another 8 hours.

:up: Please post if registering via proxy doesn't cause you any trouble and you're able to download.

steams release isnt until the 3rd for european countries and such at least thier releasing at midnight unlike dir2drive :damn:

you dont have to register via a proxy only reason you use a proxy is to purchase the game from direct2drive, all your doing is tricking direct2drive in thinking your purchasing from a United states ip thus getting the cheaper price and earlier release date. Once a game is purchased on your account you can download anywhere in the world automatically ive done this with about 3or 4 games now its a lifesaver sometimes.

And yes i will post immediately if i can download and such, i bought both sh5 and battlefield bad company 2 this way by the way.

Jonesy:rock:

Update to what i just said above as i was writing that i was preordering bad company 2 at the same time and i am now downloading it as it has a preload unlike sh5 so yes this technique works no problem at all. Let your know in about half an hour if sh5 is unlocked yet:rock:
