Can somebody talk in GMT in place of those stupid PST, EST, ... you know, something that everybody can understand and don't need a tool on internet to check the actual time?

Damn I hate those Time Zone Abbreviations, it's only confusing the world.

GMT is about 7 hours ahead, it will be around 7pm GMT tonight, maybe earlier.

7pm gmt, goddam, i was planning on playing it all day today as its a bank holiday and i dont have work, but nooooooooooo its not released for a day and age, not a happy chappy right now.

[Guest]

Yea, same here... Doubt I'll get any game in today. :(

[what]

PST is GMT -8

EST is GMT -5

But we're currently in BST, GMT +1

I'm surprised that even after all this time, loads of people haven't bothered to learn these. Everything runs in relation to US time. It pays to know things, people.

Why is the day going so slow :cry:

[metropolis]

I've been playing since Friday and although I enjoy all the gametypes, I really can't wait for Invasion and Generator Defense because I'm getting kind of burnt out.

Why is the day going so slow :cry:

The first thing I did after waking up was to Boot my Xbox 360 but no luck :(

@bungietweets: #Reach beta will turn on "late morning" PDT. Few more hours to go. We will holler when it's live. Hang in there!

Halo Waypoint just tweeted pretty much the same thing as Bungie. Starting to think we won't see the beta til after 7pm GMT :/

Anyone know the download size... I'm guessing it won't be much different that the early release beta.

It's around 1.2 GB -- source

[Smashing Pumpkin]

People downloading the early release display 1.15GB iirc on the 360 Guide when its downloading.

And I also think Bungie said that this is the beta finished sorta thing so it should be the same I'da thought.

[BajiRav]

Just one thing I noticed when I tried to download the "Preview the beta" video yesterday. I started the download and returned to Dashboard. The download stopped immediately. Just one (unwanted) advice to save some time during the download frenzy :p

In a nutshell, be prepared to stare at the download screen...

[philcruicks]

Bungie says its gone live Bungie Twitter

I've got it coming up on my ODST disc!

GO GO GO! lol

It's like Xmas x 1000 :D

[Guest]

And now the real wait begins... waiting for it to hit 100%

Dont want to fire up my PS3 as it might slow down the download :p

[Tikimotel]

50%

[Guest]

50%

WTF?

[Tikimotel]

79% (@ 50Mbit)

100% Done firing up...

[Avalanche]

I'm amazed at the download speed, thought it would be hammered.

[Cupcakes]

You seem to forget that right now it's only 10-1pm in the States so majority of high school and grade school kids are in school still... In a few hours it might be a bit slower. :p

[philcruicks]

Not going 2 bad in the UK at 6:40 now at 55% tho yeh thats on 50meg as well.
