I just got an email that changed the release date through EA store to Nov 9th. Anyone else get this? I don't see it on my download manager yet.

Thank you for ordering on EA Store (US). The product that you pre-ordered is now available for either preload or release. The EA Download Manager indicates the release date and time of your purchase. The preload is a convenience to get you into the game faster when the release date arrives.

Ok seems like a preload.

It looks like a preload. Not sure how big it is, but judging by the speed and time left it looks like ~6gb.

Good compression. EA Link/Downloader has always had good compression.

My gogamer order page says the game's status is "new".

I don't remember seeing that before. I'm pretty sure it said backorder or on order or something like that.

My preorder has been in for about 5 months now. :o

EA is pre-loading the game for "unlocking" on the 13th (next Tuesday)

The 13th also is an "adjusted" ship date for boxed versions, Crysis should be in stores on Wednesday the 14th :D

I was actually going to say something like that.

I really had no idea that it was that long ago till I checked my order a little while ago.

Crysis Now Available for Pre-Load at EA Store!
Word on the forums is that the pre-loading has started for people who have pre-ordered Crysis from EA Store. Apparently the game will be "unlocked", or playable, on November 14th! Two days earlier than the official release date.

My EB has them... Only the Standard Editions though, they tell me the LE is still held for a 15th release. :(

EDIT: Just got a call back. EB has my LE ready to go. Woot.

Late lunch break to go pick it up. ;)
