3 am on east coast usa no big deal im usually up til 4 anyway, plus dont have to work tuesday so it all works out for me
¬¬ When I brought the game GOG said it will be released on May 16 22:00 GMT+0. Grrrr, I'm a little tired of waiting longer than other players. On theory, Digital Download copies should be the first ones to play!
3 more hours for GoG PDE unlock, right? argh!!!!!

Well, in this case, you're not waiting longer than anyone else. Retail copies still need to be unlocked the same as Digital Copies, so nobody can play until the same moment.
the FAQ now says "You'll get almost the entire game and, on May 17 at 07:00 AM GMT, you will only need to download a tiny chunk of the installer and you're good to go." So.... 7:00 AM GMT was 13 minutes ago. Shouldn't we be playing now??

**Edit. I screwed that up. Whoops... Time to kill an hour 40 minutes.

Well no, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, so in about 30 minutes the download should start.

EDIT: Wait what? Nevermind. I'm going back to bed. :P

7am GMT is in 2 hours 20 minutes from now..... Also, are we sure about 7am GMT? Cause in FAQ in Witcher 2 it is said that the digital versions unlock at 09:01 UTC/GMT (?)

Seems you're right, seeing the last news headsup from GoG. Also be advised to anyone that hasn't seen GoG's latest news:

"We also have a short message to all of you who are waiting for downloading the last chunk of The Witcher 2 tomorrow morning - you need to restart the GOG.com downloader after 7 a.m. GMT before downloading the last part of the game."
Woohoo only 2 hr more to go.

How do you restart it? From the Witcher 2 download page on GOG, by adding it to your downloads again?

And what if you didn't use the GOG.com downloader to download the previous parts? I just used my browser.
