So no previews or infos for the pc version AT ALL????
That does not look good.

GAF - I have a question. My local Saturn has QB ready to buy but I already preordered digitally. Today is the best day to play for me though throughout the whole week. Should I double dip and start playing from today and sell the digital PC copy and the boxed copy after tomorrow? Money isn't that much of a problem currently but yeah... Feels silly to double dip just to play a day early.
What does even happen if I pop-in the disc? Does it use the preloaded files and decrypt them or should I delete the preload?

Unless I am completely wrong, it takes the date from the store regardless and you won't be able to play it, since you have already preordered it digitally. If someone knows better please let us know! *checks local Saturn*
What? So the disc copy won't work because it always defaults to the online check if there is a license? Nooooo... my plans for today

I think so, but I could be completely wrong!

I think he should be able to play, the disc is his authenthication.
I wouldn't say trash but it does look significantly worse, though 60 vs 30 so it's not really a fair comparison.
I think that you just proved he is not biased in thinking QB looks better than TO, doesn't mean he is right, just that he is honest.
there is no preload
Did this a few times and it worked. The Disc is your authentification and you can use your Preloaded dataWhat? So the disc copy won't work because it always defaults to the online check if there is a license? Nooooo... my plans for today

You are wrong.
He will be able to play the game just fine and he will keep his Digital License etc
And you wont have to reinstall the game or so

Dont worry.
Since it's a digital product we could work on the Win10 version right until the end which is what we've been doing to make sure the version is great. Yeah, we should have put out some footage last week, but the game's out tomorrow so...
nice thanks for clarification here and on Reddit.

I'm guessing that my attention span won't last 20mins for each of the videos at the end of the acts.
From what I've read, it seems like it's additional backstory, would I be ok going back and watching them after finishing the game?

HBO tier is the highest tier so it's pretty ridiculous of you or anyone else to expect that level as the barrier of entry.

Where's the OT? It unlocks in like 4 minutes here.

Good News, now to see those codes popping up in our inboxes...
I want to see if the MS store will allow me to download the game.

You're probably right, but part of me just can't fathom that they would so easily give away two licenses that can be separated for the price of one. Cross buy makes perfect sense for them. But giving out another key that can be sold off kind of doesn't. (Unless they just want people using W10 store, period, even if a large chunk of them bought the keys second hand dirt cheap.)

So anyone with an early copy - how is it?
I've played around 2 hours and watched the first episode. I'm really enjoying it so far
Solid gunplay, great acting, gorgeous graphics and atmosphere, and satisfying powers to play around with.lastplayed

It really is such a good looking game.

Is it unlocking the same time worldwide? Can PC gamers in NZ buy it yet?

Still not up on PC. Most likely will be up same time as past Win Store releases 8am PST Tuesday.

Maybe I am oversensitive and too much of an Xbox fanboy but I just don't like the idea of a "joke" OT title. The OT title should celebrate the game and be a really neat/cool reference to the game. I really love the OT title someone came up with on a previous page:
Quantum Break |OT|: Where Waves Are Both Wilder And More Serene
It's a direct quotation from the end of Remedy's previous game Alan Wake, and two of Quantum Break's main characters are named Wilder and Serene.
Sorry for the late replay, but I didn't start it from the store. Menu button on the app and manage game and download it from there.

11am eastern? Son of a bitch. I was hoping to start the download before work tomorrow, and play it after work. Now I'll have to fucking start it after work, and by the time it's done I'll just about be in bed. Fuck. Hell, at that point might as well wait an extra day and see if anybody has gotten (and is selling for cheap) their free keys from the xbone promotion.

Figures crossed on getting a pc code today. Remember reading in the preorder description "codes will be delivered the week of April 5th". Hope that is sooner rather than later just cause the windows store can be so damn slow downloading games.

A bunch of tracks are already up on Soundcloud and they are amazing. Same composer as Alan Wake as well.
Nice. Gotta check it out.
Windows Store said:
What items could I buy from the store? Hmm. (I do wish that this game was episodic as it is like a TV show...or seasons) I haven't bought the DLC for RoTR but I plan to...I hope QB could have something like that. Can't wait to play it tomorrow.

Yeah that's interesting. I assumed there was no DLC.
EDIT: And here are the music tracks. https://soundcloud.com/microsoftstudios/tracks
Petri Alanko's stuff is amazing.
