I'm sure it will be. Unless you have some light speed internet and can download in no time on launch day.

Why does it require double the hard drive? Do you get some of that back after launch? I might just wait, we get 120mbps into our house so wouldn't take too long to download.

No problem! As far as the double the hard drive space thing goes, I've heard from multiple people that that's been the case for pre loading for certain games in the past. You will need roughtly double the space in order for the files to decrypt. After they are decrypted it will be back to the original size is what I've heard. However I believe it depends on the game. So at 4 pm EST I will do the preload and confirm one way or the other.

Hmm?
....Strange. I remember GTA V being 60GB, and all I got was 60GBs worth of packed-up files, not 120. Probably is just the game, but still, eagerly awaiting the pre-load. While I have a 15MB/s connection and could chew through the download in about an hour or less, I'd rather have my harddrive hugging the game files. Just a few more days yet to go.... <3

Yeah, I've never pre loaded before so I don't know what games in particular you've had to have double the space for. Better to be prepared, but yes, preload time is soon upon us. And before we know it, the bombs will have dropped. edit: pre load is up! Double the space not needed. And it won't take 7 hours. Steam likes to exaggerate.

No problem, FoVet! I was surprised I hadn't seen anything about it so I thought it'd be best to post. But I know, right? Feels pretty great. My download is almost done, too and it's only been an hour. Probably didn't neeeed to preload, but the game feels that much closer and it'll make for quick start up on tuesday. I wonder why steams estimated download times are always so off.

Yep. Pre-load is almost done here too. 30 minutes at best I'd think is what it's taken me so far. With this done... now I only wish we were able to simply start the venture now. Ah but release schedules I guess.... *grumbles something about reviewers and pip-boy edition owners getting early dibs; primarily those consolers*
I digress though. I should have plenty of things to do to keep me occupied until the 10th, ey?

Yeah @Legend, I wish we could just play already. I have an exam Tuesday though so I'm kinda glad it isn't out yet, or I'd fail that exam for sure haha. In other news everybody, the fallout 4 nexus website is officially live!

@FoVet20 Aw man. Now you makin' me all jelly. Wouldn't mind seeing an unboxing video from you assuming you have the capabilities to do so. I'd have loved to snag a copy if I'd had the funds back then. Now if anyone wants them, best one to get would be the Fallout 4: eBay Scalper Edition™ x.x Oh well, at least Nuka Cola Quantum is gonna be a thing.
Meanwhile... Blamco Mac n' Cheese:

it comes with a strength bobblehead i believe a beanie and a keychain and some other small extras thats just the description i got lol i may not be able to record an unboxing but ill try take a few pictures, i took a picture of my barely touched fallout new vegas poker set i got 5 years ago at release only opened it maybe 6 times and only used the cards lol
never seen the scalper edition gives me something to google and ill eventually order some nuka cola from ebay to see how it tastes lol
and good picture it looks like what i imagined it too
But in all seriousness though... yeah. Basically looks just like the New 3DS did when those released.... not really carried by online eSellers like Amazon, so scalpers took full advantage. Makes me ashamed to be a consumer sometimes... Looking forward to pictures then. :3
BTW, that mac n' cheese tasted like I'd imagine it to; +3 to my Geiger Counter, my wounds visibly, but extremely slowly closing up... tastes like rubber tires.
