I know it releases on 9/29 but does that mean it will be downloadable at midnight?

Stupid question but to download the beta is it going to be in the "my games" section of origin or the store?

How do we go about entering the BETA? Do we have to wait for instructions, when it's officially release, or can we download it now? Be good if I can download it before it starts, otherwise I'll be waiting a long time to play it (due to all the people downloading it, and my 700KBps internet).

You can thank me later.

I'm not gonna even bother with BETA just to play it for 7 days.... I'll get the full game when it comes out 2 weeks later....

I'm getting about 180kbps on my connection. Estimated 6 hours till download complete. I can play for about 5 hours before I'll have to go to work....ugh...easy day though...I just have to screen the three movies coming out so I'm being paid to watch movies before they are out.

Niceeeeee.... On good days (read: when the line isn't congested) I get about 1MB/sec and I'm happy. Too fast internet is useless too cause a lot of webpages don't have the UPLOAD bandwidth to cover it so u have leftover speed.

Very true. When I have to download something big, I just do it overnight when no one is on, or during the day when everyone is at work....

Not working, at the moment.8)

But I've got a fair bit of assessment I have to do, before I go back to college on monday. Trying to balance that with Beta won't be fun.:(

Hmm.

20 Kb/s, thats 2 days 8 hours.

I'm not sure that is the best way to go about it. Looks like im going to wait for the official Origin download, or play it on XBox.

You try the Bigpond one? Mine finished quite some time ago. I'm sure there are many others. I just hope EA have some master key they are going to hand out, or something that will allow people to use the current client. I'm gonna rage if I have to download another client, while millions of other people are also trying to download it.

Yup. Like the Alpha Trial, it will be in the MY GAMES tab.
