I just called Barnes and Noble and reserved a copy of raising the bar. They said that they still had november 23rd as the release date, but i expected this because it is a new press release. They will call me, however, when the book comes in. I told the lady that i was talking to about the press...
I think that many stores, such as Best Buy, have already received the games. Even if they have them in storage, though, they're not supposed to release them until the 16th. And, even if a copy does get leaked out, i don't think there could be a "legal" way to unlock it until the 16th.
Although it isn't a very pleasant article (it is about the lawsuits between VUG and Valve), Chris_D is quoted on the second page of the article about steam! Wow, Chris, you're famous! :eek: You even got your quote in big bold letters, emphasized outside of the main article!

Well, i backed mine up fully to test it, and it worked. But yes, it still is encrypted, and there may be a bit more that we need to download. Because of this, i'm not going to back it up until it's fully released.
Oh yea...does anyone know of any CD covers / designs? I've seen lots for DVD's...
Yea...except that didn't say HOW to do it. It just said that it was coming in the future. I posted instructions on how to run the backup wizard, and doug didn't. :thumbs:
