i think it was posted elsewhere, but this is typical for game releases in US.. Tuesday at midnight unless they want to be an oddball.

The US has 4 timezones and often games release at 12AM Pacific. It's nice to have confirmation this one comes out at 12AM Eastern, which is 3 hours earlier.

RAGE's store page told me 4pm on Tuesday last night, but now correctly shows 1am Tuesday - 1 day and 3 hours left.

Damn. I'd be getting it at 11pm if I weren't waiting for a box copy. Oh well, I'll get some good sleep.

Typical for game stores, but not at all typical for Steam to unlock a game at midnight. They usually unlock their games in the mid-day.

Good news! About 24 hours until we're RAGEing.

Not really. For digital releases 12 am EST is the oddball. A lot of times companies release digital versions of the games withe the mid to late morning of the day of release or 12 am PST, with the former occuring much more than the latter.

Yeah, 9pm is nice. Honestly, midnight is just too late for anything other than a quick look.

lol, not for me man. I'm on a messed up schedule right now, haven't slept yet and going to crash at 11am, this way I wake up, grab a Starbucks, then a j and boom I'm ready for some 1920x1080 RAGE.

I can't wait. 17hrs to release!
