    Do we have a 100% confirmation that a store purchased copy can or cannot be activated until the 13th?

      on the PC you won't be able to play until until the game is unlocked by Valve

      authentication/content servers etc etc

        unless some guy makes a no-steam crack for MW2. then you can play it before the unlock date.

          Yeh, because needing Steam to play even SP is just uber lame... So cracks will pop-up pretty damn quickly IMO.

            My understanding is that if you buy retail, you can activate on the 10th through Steam. However, if you buy the Steam download copy won't be available until the 12th/13th for some unknown reason.

              i was looking at the steam forums and found that one guy has contacted steam about the retail version and this is what he got

              Hello Killn4Christ,

              Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

              The retail game will be able to install and play as soon as you bring it home from your local retailer.

              Only the Steam digital purchase is held until the 12th for activation.

              If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.


              and this is a sticky from valve itself

              IMPORTANT:
              If you attempt to activate the game before the retail release date, you will receive the message "Invalid CD Key". You will be able to activate your CD Key on the retail release date, currently set for November 10th.

                Correct. Valve confirmed this on their forums (see post above)
