For RicardoElfrinko HP works great but see if you can compete with Poul track times on any of the events in our PBRC NFS HP races? there is no wheel support. The wheel works fine it's just the steering wheel is much slower than a keyboard or a gamepad... I never could have competed with Poul's times, so why start now? I am playing games for my own fun now, not to compete with anyone else. My head will explode if I start trying again. And I don't care about my times, just as long as I can win the races in the game from the AI, and have fun. (sort of at least) I'm through with most of the NFS games atm, the last ones haven't been that excelent, waiting for Shift 2, see if that's better...

Hi Monster! I am about to buy it... The download time is cool for me... It took me under 3m (1.5 GB) to download the Crysis 2 Demo from EA! ^^ What do you mean about not messing with Key Code? I mean, I want to have the liberty to re-install it at any time... Is that possible? Thanks again for your help! Also to Ricardo (who has a Portuguese name, dont remember if I have told him that! ;P)! Rogério You have told me that, and I have given you a reply, just don't know where that is anymore. :-P Probably somewhere at the old forum.

Ricardo,,, don't feel bad I can't compete with Poul either so I guess that was a little far fetched, but I had a hard time beating the Ali cars normaly I can get pass the Ali cars and have a clear road ahead without bumping into them guys,,,,, To Rogerio, When I first download SHift, the first install I didn't have to mess with the key code it was all automatic the install program did all that for me,, the second time I re-install it asked for the key code and I had to enter that information in. so the digital download been working well for me....so far so good...

No Rogerio You wont be able to download until the day its released, then you have to wait till 9:00 AM PST (Pacific Standard Time) for me because I am on EST time zone I have to wait till 12:10PM the day it's release... so I'll have the game up and running by 2:00 PM March 29th you have to have the EA download manager running and it will download it automatically in case ur not home. But I did hear awhile back that Europe was getting it on the 27th but I don't know that for sure... Ok! Thanks! =) Bought today... 45€... Lets see...

Sorry .. Correcting my previous answer
You can download and install the game before the release date. But a small program of verification of EA only allow the game to run on the day and at the indicated time of release.
I'm not sure the exact date that you can make the game download. Normally permission to download happens two or three days before the release of the game
Dragon age 2, for example, the permission to download was on March 8 and the release was on March 10.
The exact day and time are always sent by the EA itself by email

Well that didn't seem to apply to me, Maybe because I am in the USA and only off by a few hours but that would make sense though, everyone is on a different time zone and by the time Rogerio got to PST time it might be the next day. With Shift & HP I had to wait for an email before the download would start but maybe this year it might be different.. My copy costed $49.xx including tax $53.xx US Sorry ..

You are right Green.
A multinational company like Electronic Arts, works with many time zones. Surely the policy of assistance and time becomes different in many countries.
The e-mail with information from EA store about download and release dates of the games, I also get here, as I said in last post
Here in Brazil I bought this game a little more expensive. With tax, NFS Shift 2 cost $58,00 by EA Store.
