On vacation and woke up at 5 a.m. central time with no reason to get up. Thought I'd make a quick check and confirm the game wasn't out yet and go back to sleep. Yeah, that didn't happen
I believe the earliest I've ever received the release email prior to today was ~8:00 am. Great job getting the game out early in the day. The links aren't fast but they are reasonable. I'm about 10 minutes away from some OOTP XI goodness.
