Exactly what part of 24 hours do you not understand? It doesn't matter about the time difference. If it goes on sale at 3:46am today that means you have until 3:46am tomorrow to buy it at the cheaper rate. There is absolutely no need for anyone to have to change their daily activities to fit around this.




Really wish I could see that vote to lock thread feature and maybe a vote to delete post too.

Maybe Carlos doesnt have a regular schedule of daily activities today?
I dont, im supposed to be gone all day, and im sure there are others in the same boat.
If i miss it i miss it, its too late for me now as i have to leave town.

Remind me to steer clear from your forum, if i want to have my posts deleted by overzealous controlling mods ill go post at vbulletin.

 

[Carlos]

how?

Lets say it goes for sale right now, as in right now....It would be ending TOMMORROW morning. By the time I wake up.

If it goes up tonight. Tomorrow night. But like I have been saying all this time: I DO NOT KNOW THE EUROPEAN TIME.

12 hours +12 hours = 24 Hours - Whole day, so it can be read as two.

Quoting so if you ever change it I have this quote and I shall never delete it.

I suggest you go to bed, then to school, then come home, get online, pay for the license, and enjoy it.

Can y'all possibly find anything sillier to argue about?!?!

24 hours is two days. I get that part.

12 hours +12 hours = 24 Hours - Whole day, so it can be read as two.

O...M...G...

Simple solution: "Sorry we missed the announced/promised release date. For the sake of fairness, we have increased the sale to 48 hours".. I know to many that will = 4 days, but either way that should be enough for all of us..
