Where is the link to purchase? I haven't been able to find one.

It seems IB will be successful in one thing at least, stopping XF sale on 5th Oct. Maybe it will be 6th before we can finally purchase it.

[Sherri]

We gotta think positive. They still have time.
Although, the one word game is keeping me sane for the moment.

 

[Sadik B]

It's only about 27 more minutes of 5th Oct left here in India!

When they DO log in, they will be bombarded with requests, comments, e-mails, all the jazz.

Or they just stay invisible to avoid it, as Kier said and why we have the option to quickly hide our online status in the dropdown menu where our username is.

Everyone's like you. Waiting. For the damn doors to open!

I needs the BUY NOW BUTTON!

I don't think the invisibility button will render them invisible if they turn on some things, like um. BUY NOW BUTTON!

hahaha.

Rain checks?

 

[Cupara]

From the update post to their announcement thread I can only assume the sale is going to still happen today, in some countries it will be the 6th but for the rest it will still be the 5th.

 

[bogus]

the 5th is almost over

 

[mrGTB]

Well it's 19:30 here in the UK, so after business hours can mean they still have 4 half hours left yet before midnight. At which point it becomes the 6th October. They did base it off being UK time-zoned also. But I would have expected to see it released by now at 7:30pm.

 

[Shanj]

5.5 hours to go until the 6th in the UK
which is XF's home timezone.

4.5 you mean.

It's 7:30pm here now, that only leaves 4.5 hours left till 12:00am

For reassurance: the 24hr pre-sale will start the moment the software is released for purchase.

 

[Sagar]

Isn't that obvious question is it happening today or at later date

[cedivad]

Goooood! Only 4:22 hours left! =)

I'm happy. lol.

With all the speculation flying around, a little factual reassurance is needed from time to time.

 

[Mark.B]

You know, some magic thing doesn't happen at midnight that stops them releasing it.

5th October was an estimated release date, if it ends up running on to the 6th, so what?

Some people seem to think that if it's not released by 23:59hours GMT today that this somehow means it can't be released.

Sheesh.

 

[cedivad]

They told us today that it will be released today.
Than it will be released today!

 

[entertain]

I think it is going to be released at 8pm.
