This is just bloody ridiculous. I see why EA get such a bad rap now, but i thought i would give them the benefit of the doubt. Even if they did actually mean that the download would be available at midnight tonight, did it not cross their minds that everyone who read that e-mail would have automatically thought that they ment last night because of the way they worded it? The 5th 00:00 was 13 hours ago! If this was the case why havent they sent an e-mail explaining themselves?

What kind of customer service is this? just being left in the dark? Its so ironic that they go to great measures to stop people pirating the game but with the european delay and the rest of the crap thats involved in just getting this game, its just causing so many more people to pirate.

You would NEVER get this on steam. How about you take steams example that is one game and one release date for all.........EVERYBODYS HAPPY!!
The only reason why i bought the digital copy was because i thought i would atleast be able to download before the retail release. Otherwise what is the point of having a digital release when its out the same time as retail anyway. People who give you money to pre-oprder in advance should be able to download it and play in advance by a day atleast. Even if it isnt in the stores in that area.
