    Hmm maybe amazon has ordered non UK disks ?

    Do your disks have BBFC 18 images on the disk ? and part codes (bottom of all the blurb) of 3333710100/200 ?

    Could be USA sourced disks, and the games not out there till tomorrow, or something ?

    Keir, try my above steps, you sound like your on the stage i was at

    Anyway, im offski for a game, ill check back later, hope you all get it installed eventually

    f**k stupid iw, still no luck simon followed ur instructions but when it came up autorun it only said install, clicked that and got the same feckin "not released yet" error

    its pissing me off cause i have 2 friends on steam at this moment, 1 in norway and 1 in switzerland and they are both playing fine. surely living in the uk gives me some advantage with releases, being closer to america

    oh and my disk has code : 3333720200 iof that helps

    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

    Jay, exit the proccess tree of Steam in the Task manager, then start up Disc one again, click install / reinstall.

    It will eventually load steam and then ask you if you want a shortcut etc. but continue and then it will start to install via the DVD :)

    wtf with the install time though!

    Does anyone know if you have to have internet every time you play it? Or can you use offline mode?

    Otherwise that would stop me from getting it as again don't have steam at school though can sometimes bypass it for short periods....
