That's fine for those of you who live in Hollywood, Disneyland, the South Side of Chicago etc, but for those of us who live in the real world, sorry I mean England (the waiting is doing my brain in) what kind of time will that be here? Will I be awake? Do I need to set my alarm clock?

Excuse the above refs to the US but it's the impression you get from British TV. I trust the 'special relationship' Tony has with George W means there'll be no permanent harm done.

Status: offline 		Thanks. Shouldn't need the alarm clock, I'll be getting home from work. Mind you, if I've had a hard day........


Quick calculation: start download at 5p.m. on 128k ISDN line; should take around 8 hours....finish at 1a.m. Do I start playing, or do I lie awake all night wishing I had?

Status: offline 		Yes, those US chappies are five hours behind us in the UK-at least those on EDT are - I assume Erik is talking EDT time? So about teatime tomorrow, in theory. Though I'm not holding my breath at not being crushed in the stampede. I suspect the best move might to be to start the download on Saturday morning, when most of the US is asleep, (at least those not still downloading WiitP
