OK, excuse my ignorance as this will be the first time I've pre-ordered from Origin: assuming that it will be available to download from 12.00am in the UK, and I'll be in bed for sure then, will it start downloading automatically or would I have to set it going and leave the PC on?

Have you checked if release is really 22nd for you or if its 21st? Iceland is getting it 21st and Sweden 22nd. (Probably at the same time, but you know, timezones..)

Thanks @cherpar - hope you're okay, hon.

I'm in the UK and have preordered before. I am usually in bed at midnight so have to wait for the next morning to download. It doesn't do it automatically, you have to click the download button when it's available.

This time in exactly one week we'll be able to say that we've got less than two weeks until the pack is in our hands! Hooray!

Ah well, I can get it going at breakfast time I guess! Trouble is, I work from home so I don't know how strong my willpower will be that day... :mrgreen:

You know I always feel like at the very beginning of something being released it's faster and then it's close to release time it always feel a lot slower. I'm so excited!

I couldn't help myself; I pre-ordered a digital game, lol. XD

I also bought Parenthood and a few stuff packs. I'm trying to decide whether to get Cats & Dogs now or later, hmm....
