thanks for the heads up, but i'd like to add a caveat (lol); for those who haven't gone to the MEC sale before, it might not be a good thing to do if you're at all claustrophobic. i love buy-the-pound and such, but even i felt a bit uncomfortable all squished in the underground parking lot. and after waiting in line and madly searching through the racks, saw the hour-an-a-half-long line up and went home.
i'm pretty sure the bike swap has enough sense to be outside though.

We both have PC and MAC versions for anyone who doesn't have it. All you need is a decent computer and you're good to go.
Andrew? Wes? Shamil? Cam? Anyone else?
It's all in good fun, for the most part. We can gang up on operator

Sounds good...
Make sure you download the 1.3 patch and updated punkbuster version. Finding a valid key code is the only tricky part...
