    i want to get this game but due to my work moving to another office, my game stores are now the opposite way of my home. I actually prefer getting digital copies of games, and im wondering if i should use Steam (which i trust) or D2D (i haven't bought anything from them since some kind of Hitman game). As of right now D2D says that it will be available for download in 9.5 hrs, while steam doesn't have any Pre-Order or Pre-Load option.

    id go wit steam, but its because ive personally never had any problem with their service and I can't really comment on D2D since I haven't used their service before, I have heard that some people say they have patching issues with D2D but im not sure.

    D2D releases it in a few hours on Sept 1 while Steam customers have to wait to Sept 4. (EU) 
    So I rather get it today wich is why I pre-ordered from D2D. 
    Not sure how that will work tho. Will EU servers be up Sept 1 or do you still have to wait for Friday? 
    Champions Online´s FAQ says EU customers can wait until 4th OR pick it up on D2D as early as Sept 1. So Im a bit confused. Guess i´ll see if it works in a few hours. If not, then go with Steam. 
    But I´m speaking from an EU customers perspective.

    @Jimbo_N: I was wondering why it wouldn't show up.  I'll probably try D2D for this one.

    @m1k3:  I think another thread said something about it being released this Friday on Steam. Must be some weird license issue or something but you could try to hold out until then if you want.

    @JJWeatherman: Actually, now that you mention it, i remember some instances where Steam would put up games about a week after its release.
