Before you book your vacation, you should probably put in a buffer zone of a week or so to allow them to patch the worst issues that will inevitably be discovered after release ...
If you think about it... the European release is better because we get the weekend to play it, and have more or less more continual time, while U.S actually gets it during mid-week and has to wait more days to realyl enjoy it.
Well here's hoping they allow predownload and unlock early in the afternoon here in the states.
Or you do what I did and take the rest of the week off.
I pre-ordered it from Amazon, which means I'll probably get it the day after release date...
...which, as luck would have it, is the day on which I will be taking my lovely mother out for lunch as it's her birthday. D'oh!
Ah, one of the few perks of being a teacher. All summer to sell my soul to a new expansion.
The only good thing regarding pre-ordering on steam is that you are guaranteed to get it early as00:00 12th July9PM 8th of July, meaning you can technically play it the day earlier by staying up late, you can also simply leave your PC on past midnight and then once you are finished with chores/errands just start playing instead of having to go to a shop or wait for it to be installed in the morning.
Well, I think it is better if you pre-order it on steam. I pre-ordered it at the beginning of June, and will probably get it a day earlier (11th July because I'm in Europe). I remember that the same thing happened with the Total War:Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai, I pre-ordered it month or so before release and got it a day earlier. Although I think this only works with the expansions, not with the full games.
Also only works if you're not one of those weird people who still only ever buys games which come in boxes
So the BNW release date has just been announced as July 9 in NA, July 12 internationally. For all you Americans (and Canadians, eh? ) here's a countdown to BNW's release. It's in EST, so beware.
WARNING: Avert your eyes. It's not pretty.
