Steam Download question

[Blakduk]

I've just checked my Steam account- it used to say CoD would be released on 'March 31st', now it has been changed to 'coming soon'.
I'm in Australia, i'm not sure if Steam do staggered releases around the world.

Mine says coming soon, however steam says "this much time" on the main selling page which counts to 7pm british time.

The timer says "Available: 31 March 2011
This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 19 hours"

My good guess would either be 12am or some time in the morning when XBOX live does updates for the UK which is around 10am.

Steam does releases and updates at either 17:00(typical for client updates) or 10:00(patches and releases) US Pacific time. Typically, read as unless there is a problem, the downloads start more or less immediately, so if it works as intended then when you wake up Friday the game should be downloaded. If you have a physical copy and just need to unlock the game that should be available to do at 0:01 on 3/31.

Either way that does not add up to friday The USA is 5/7 hours behind the uk. That means we will get it at around 3/5pm on thursday.

I'm now actually losing sleep, swapping between forums, inboxes, 'findmylostorder', back to forums, another forum, back to emails.

I really should get a bloody life. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Did someone just update a thread at ubi? Better have a quick look................
