Can be downloaded now?

I pre-ordered the EIC in gamers' gate, when I logged into my account few minutes ago, there's already a download button next to the EIC cover picture. I thought the game hasn't been released yet? So is it released earlier or something? I tired to download it, the size of the file sis 967 MB, anyone has idea on this?

You can download the installer, though you can't play the game as you don't have the activation key until the official release date.

thanks, then I'd better stop downloading and wait for the official release

You may as well get the installer downloaded so it doesn't lag on the release date due to increased demand on GamersGate, etc... Once you have the installer downloaded all you'll need is the key to install the game.

Not for me it didn't

Just as well, then I don't have to figure out how the devil I could replace it with my retail key after launch.
