So the gates open tonight at 12 EST?

Or how does this work for the headstart thing?

Actually it's 3:01 AM EST

12:01 PST

if you have a preorder
if it is retail than you wait one more day

Actually its PDT not PST

no 12 pst uh this will sort of help you its minus one day if you preordered though. So less then 7 hours to go!

What does the D stand for lol?

It's PST.



-=-=-

i live here and i think it is daylight savings time as we moved the clocks up a few weeks ago

edit

just double checked and it is indeed PDT

It's PDT and there really isn't any difference between PST and PDT. PDT = Summr PST = Winter

Google'd it. I have too much free time.

PDT - Pacific Daylight Time
Time zone offset: UTC - 7 hours
PDT is 7 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Note that PDT is a daylight saving time/summer time zone. It is generally only used during the summer in the places listed below, during the winter PST is used instead
Time zone abbreviations: PDT, HAP
Full name is Pacific Daylight Time
HAP - Heure Avancée du Pacifique (French)
Email time zone indicator: -0700

An email sent from someone in the PDT time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0700" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0700" does not have to be in PDT, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).
For actual dates DST might be observed, look at the examples below
Where and when is PDT observed?

There is no such thing as PDT. It's always PST.

Edit: I stand corrected. I clicked the wrong link in my search.

yes you do ;-=)

Ya I did a search and clicked the wrong thing which gave the wrong answer. It's funny because before this point I have never seen anyone call it PDT or EDT. I just say EST or PST all year long.

Same thing, just more stuff to confuse us.

So 3 AM est. Sweet. See you all ingame.

Actually the only reason I pointed out it is PDT is because that is what it says on official FAQ about pre-release.
I knew about PDT but I had til that point never seen anyone actually use it.
I guess PDT is correct, but

We should all live on Earth Standard Time.

Would solve alot of headaches.

LOl too funny, I like th elink to the countdown timer. Guess I will try it as soon as I get up, anyone know how they got 48hours between 12am on the 27 and 12 am on the 28?

lol

ok, so whats time will it be Central Standard Time (midwest) if its 12am PDT?

2am CST. 1am MST if anyone asks.
