I've heard that the playtest release will be about 40 megabytes, is this a confirmed fact or just peoples guesses? Frank

No it wasn't, it was 12megs. I remember waiting hours for the fucker to download on my 14.4k. Then after the long wait I realised it was bugged to hell and wasn't that good.

Hmmmm, let's weigh the choices: Get a playable sneek peek with 2-3 hours of download time... or Wait 2-3 months for the full version to be released. I don't know about you, but I'll be glad to be bothered! _____________________________________________________________________ Trevor Covert tre...@macnn.com Games Editor, The MacNN Review http://www.macnn.com/thereview/ News Editor, Mac Gamer's Ledge http://www.macledge.com/
