    Can you download it in pieces through the next couple of days or do you get the whole game at once?

    I'm reading you won't be able to run the installer until the game is officially released, that you need a key. Or something. Is that true?

    This is the e-mail EA sent me

    "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."

    I think you might be right, man I was getting all excited :mad:

    This is another e-mail they sent me.

    "Thank you for ordering on EA Store (US). The date when the product that you Pre-Ordered will be released has been changed. The product listed below will now be available on November 9, 2007"

    Now I am not sure if I will be able to play once downloaded.
