I cant wait until the 15th when they announce some manufacturing problem that is going to delay the release another year. On the 17th they are going to announce that they are going to make the most of this delay by changing the game over to a new engine.

Actually, its for work, we get new MS keys for our campus agreement one time per year and it just so happens we just got the new key, so instead of re-imaging like the other schools my company owns, I just use a key changer. Much faster this way

Also, why would I openly post it in WD forums if I were using it for illegal purposes?

Just kidding R/D, in fact I thought you had it on b'cause someone had requested help in changing their key. Dont remember if that was on the forums or chat.
