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 :lol:

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.
