Okay, everyone. Answer from EA Community Manager "Once it goes live (possibly in about 13 hours) you should be able to grab and download it. " "there is/was no trial pre-load. I think the source of the issue may be due to an error that allowed some folks to add the game panel to their library early. This doesn't change when folks could get the trial, but it did lead to a whole lot of (completely understandable) confusion about the whole matter." The bug is that some people managed to grab trial into library, not that it's unavailable now. That's helpful, thanks.

So I per-ordered the Digital Deluxe version way back in October or November when it first became available up here in the Great White North...Then just about 20 minutes ago I decided to buy into Origin Access to download/play the 10-hour Demo because I am really curious to see how the actual game will run on my system, and I want to see what the game will actually look like (not just compressed 1080p files from youtube captured from a console (as amazing as those do look)). Except now even though I have been billed with my first month of Access for about 5 dollars (which I'm going to cancel in maybe 3 weeks after I actually get the full game)...The only thing I see is the "pre-load date" of March 17th for my Digital Deluxe. Nothing about being able to begin downloading or even that I have access to the Trial. So...I don't get it. Can I play it early by tomorrow or not? After all I did just pay for it. Maybe I should just wait and see...yes? Though apparently, I see from a post above regarding a reddit forum that the Trial will be downloadable by today at 5:30 pm EST. Hopefully I will have gained access to my trial/demo by then so that I can download it tonight and play it bright n' early tomorrow in the a.m. side of things. But everything I have seen looks absolutely amazing! The trial is in my library. In terms of region, I'm in Toronto. I'm sorry, I know it's wrong. Seriously, it is a real circus. Some people can see it, some can't. My library has the trial alongside the full game. It's showing pre-load at 1730 today. Say what you will about the Great Red Satan (Rogers), I have a decent connection. I think Teksavvy and Cogeco put the fear of God into them and forced them to offer decent speeds, finally. Should have it in a couple hours, if my past experience with Origin is any indicator.

Is it true that europe will have to wait till Saturday with early access? No, that turned out to be false. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonIn case you missed it: Early Access starts Mar 16 WORLDWIDE. It's not different by region, apart from timezone.

If I already pre-ordered a while back and get the EA access today, will I still be able to do the 10 hour trial? Or would I have to cancel the preorder first and then buy the access to get the trial? I apologize if this has already been asked/answered.

Just convert 9:30PM GMT to your timezone. ok, that would be good - so in just under 3 hours (or just under 5 hours (for a UK person) if the 'local time at midnight' is to be believed) Has to be said one hand doesn't seem to know what the other is doing at EA, these are not difficult questions...

(No, haven't downloaded it yet, waiting impatiently for the go-live ) No, the HDD req is 55gb but that is not the game size. They can differ since they need to have space for save games etc.
