    Hi,
    I ve purchased a copy from gameplanet uk and have pre-loaded the game.
    However it should be released by now.. but steam still claims that it is no released. I am in japan and that may have something to do with it, but i had not problem activating the code or pre loading. can any one help?

    Thanks

    Have you tried quitting Steam and restarting Steam again?

    Tried restarting steam, no luck.
    I think its because I bought it from gameplanet uk.
    When I looked on their site they said that it will unlock at 9:00am GMT.
    So will try in couple of minute. It maybe that it is treated as a retail copy rather than steam store copy...

    The game still has about 5 and a half hours before it's unlocked.

    Wasn´t the unlock delayed because of the thousands of copies robbed in France?

    Hi, Im also from japan and was wondering if steam would allow me to view the modern warfare 3 page since when I try to visit it it tells me that it is unavailable on my region, Im planning to buy a copy at amazon for the game and just scared that steam might prevent me from playing the game.

    hi and welcome to nbr
    it might be worth sending steam tech support an email as im not sure why its been blocked in your country.
    i know their forum has been down for 48 hours due to a hack but i cant see it being to do with that.
