Here's a point to consider...

Back in the day we had the same ol' Key Code printed on the back of manuals (Red Alert 2 comes to mind) - naturally the only difference is that such codes are now one use only, and there is the expectation that we are connected to the internet.

Given such a vast porportion of households are connected to the internet, or a phone connection of some description for that matter, could someone explain to me how the new system fundamentally differs from that in place some 10 years ago?

So if there's little difference, why not use that key code on the manual? Unless there's a big fundamental difference?

If people download the game does it not come with generated codes allowing people who download the game to play it meaning people who buy the game can not play it until Friday and people who download the game illegally can play it straight away?

I pre-ordered a few months ago from shopto, was hoping to recieve it early but I didn't know about needing the code until now.

I remember the original Football Manager (Championship Manager) you had to look at whatever page it asked you to look at and type the score.

I've had a look at the DRM being used in the game and I was quite impressed. All I can say it that it helps prevent piracy and theft (supposedly) in more ways than people realize. We really do have to wait and see for this one, because it is quite different.
