Thanks Xarata!!!!
That's over keen for you (I'd put it in my diary as Monday, what a fool). But at least I didn't miss it!!!!!!

i don't know what the time difference is but the sale is midnight tuesday (12:01 EST Tuesday morning- 2 minutes after monday) Today is monday so the sale doesn't start roughly for another...10 and a half hours (it's about 1:30 in the afternoon right now)

Daylight savings time was yesterday, so right now it is 1:37 pm EST here. I know not all of the world does daylight savings at the same time, or at all, so that may effect things.

I've just found a site online - EST is currently 4 hours behind GMT (so it's 17:40 here now).
It's in my calendar for tomorrow at 4pm (or 12 noon EST)....don't think I'll be able to drag myself out of bed at 4am, even for SN

It starts just after 9 PM for me! I'm still fairly lucid at that point of the evening!

Yes...as of this moment we're 3 hours and 8 minutes until the sale starts. Then we'll do an identical release at Noon tomorrow. It's exactly the same- I split the item quantities, so everyone gets a crack at the sale items.
