Looks like its going to be very hard to preorder this due to the lamest copy protection yet which is proving to be a major pain in the ass even for legit versions. When the game is run for the first time it needs to be activated, game can only be activated 5 times (it was only 2) and to deactivate it need to uninstall. So if your PC dies you have lost an activation (hence why 2 was very bad idea) even better some people having problems with activation on legit copies got an error message to contact securom, when they contacted them they got an email telling them to contact take2, contact take2 and they say to contact securom yay.

Whats more annoying is need an internet connection to install, this may not a problem to most but I had the same problem when I bought Halo 2, was working away from hotel and installed it on laptop, got to end of first level and needed to activate it to get further. Pissed me off no end as bought it on the Monday hoping it would see me through the week. At least that let me play a bit.

Now I am not against better copy protection, but for the love of god if companies are going to release games that are a bitch to crack can they please release them at the start of the month when most people have been paid and can afford to go out and buy it
