Hello,

I was wondering if theres any point me staying up for monkey island 2 special edition?

I live in the UK, and it is now 5:21.

Does anyone know if it will be availiable at exactly 12pm tonight, or will it be 9am tommorow or anything?

Is it worth me staying up?

Thanks

    I honestly have no clue... I always thought PS network updated late on thursday nights...

    and the UK network is different than the US.

    Cheers for the reply, if i get proof itll be avilable for download at 12, im staying up, if i get proof it wont, ill inject myself with sleeping drugs and hopefully wake up after its out, if i get no information on the matter, ill sit here nervously drinking coffee.

    Either way, should be a fun night.

    lol

    Monkey Island 2!!! REMAKE!!! HOLYSHMOLY!!!

    For a while now US PSN updates on tuesdays while EU PSNs update on wednesdays. I'll just hope the US-update won't be too late in the night over here.

    Is that just the iPhone release that's at midnight tonight though?
    I'm gonna stay up just in case, my crappy connection means that it'll take at least 12 hours to download it. (It took about 2 hours to download SamandMax3, and that was 375MB)

    I think somebody had suggested that it would be *Thursday* working by British Summer Time, which would be a bit of a bugger.

    If it comes out in the US first you could always log into our network and buy it there.

    The PSN updates every Wednesday in the UK. So if you're buying it for your PS3 you're looking at between about 17:00 - 18:00 tomorrow afternoon:)

    I imagine it will be out any time before then on PC etc though. This is going to be soooooo cool! ;)

    The PSN blog yesterday mentioned updates for today.... so they WILL be adding stuff at some point but what time I do not know... Late in the day seems to be the trend though...

    I thought PSN were getting it a day early? At this rate, it will actually be on Live before PSN here. I know I should be playing it by 11am tomorrow morning (BST) on my 360.

    Only the US-PSN (as I've written above, they update on Tuesdays... EU-PSNs update on Wednesdays).

    That would be the weirdest release policy I have ever heard of, considering their aim for a "simultaneous worldwide release." I mean, I know the PS3 is a little bit early, but that is because of the Tuesday update. I can't imagine it won't be available with the Weds. EUPSN update.

    And there's nothing to say it's true, either.

    Steam have been counting down.... it's currently a quarter to seven in the evening, BST, and Steam are presently saying it'll be ready in approx 1 day and 0 hours. Whether it's just a coincidence I logged in exactly 24 hours early, or whether they've stopped counting down, I dunno. Somebody take a look later on, perhaps?

    I don't have a PS3. Hence I cannot engage in this happy feverish "when-is-it-going-to-be-released" thread. I hate you PS3 guys. All of you. :mad:

    I guess that's what I'll do until the store is updated... but first I have to leave the office, get on my bike and haul my ass home.

    Only 23 hours left until Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge™ is released by Steam!

    If you pre-order a copy between now and then, you get Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition for free (which if you have it already, you can gift it to a friend to get them hooked on MI. :))

    Hurry up! Don't miss out, It's only $10!

    I'm downloading it from Steam just now, but it says the game won't be unlocked for approximately another 18 hours, so it looks like it won't be playable for UK Steam users until around 6pm GMT. Bugger.

    noon is 12pm.

    midnight is 12am.


    oh wait... I'm an idiot.

    Got my math all wrong.

    if it's 12pm (noon) Wednesday for me, it's 6pm GMT Wednesday.

    EDIT: The demo file is 1165 MB for PS3. I wonder if it's just a timed trial mode with the full game? If so then that means the MI2:SE is indeed smaller in file size than SMI:SE.

    Actually, I checked the file size of Monkey 2 in comparison with Monkey 1 in the pre-load on Steam, and it's definitely smaller than MI1SE. Speaking of which, I gotta get back to my replay. So, brbkthxbai!

    well, the full game on steam is:

    according to this, it will have taken me slightly more than an hour and 20 minutes to download MI2SE.

    SMISE however does also say:

    Y'see, that's not correct, as I understand things. 12 is neither am nor pm, it's either midnight or noon.

    (And, as I say again, it's currently British Summer Time anyway)
