      LOL, I'm not going to have a single one of these games fully downloaded until the morning. Even with starting now.

        From what I've read elsewhere, nobody can download it yet. Read even people with physical copies can't play because it's not taking their CD keys.

          I'm in IRC with some folks who've managed to get downloads going. Origin downloads a 300mb installer which then downloads a 13gb game.

          Fully expect Origin to be little more than flaming wreckage for the next day or so, if not the rest of the week.

          Yet at the same time if it meant I could play tonight I'd be tempted to pay whatever it takes to start my download now just to get in an hour or two before time to head to bed

          Edit: looks like Amazon date has changed, they'll be releasing keys in 12 minutes rather than 2 hours.

          Edit: Amazon keys available now.

              Restart Origin, click download, is all I had to do. Downloaded the launcher and am 34% into downloading the client.

                  That's what I'm getting too. Restarted Origin about 10 times now.

                  EDIT: Just got an email and am downloading now. Maybe they're doing a rolling release and not everyone can download at the same time.

                        How Sim City is being used in classrooms.


                        I guess they don't have a problem connecting to Origin.

                                agreed. i'm going to start over tomorrow. I can't play on anything higher than the lowest graphic settings. I'm sad.
