For your information, the Alpha version for ArmA 3 just released.
http://www.arma3.com/
The site is currently Diaspora'd, but it'll be back. Eventually. Needless to say, I've been waiting for this.
For the uniformed, ArmA 3 is the next installment of perhaps the most hardcore military simulator out there, even more realistic than old Rainbow Six. A niche series, but I love it.

That guy has some nice videos of it.

46 minutes later, i think I've finally gotten through BIS hell and purchased the Supporter Edition.

It is lagging so bad serverside it's not funny. But hey, they managed to keep it barely operational. I wonder what kind of hit numbers they are receiving. Especially in the first 10 minutes.

I think I'll be getting the regular edition, as much as I'd love to buy the supporter edition, it costs a fortune in Polish currency and I can't afford it at the time (and my father won't agree to buy it for me, of course...). 
Polski Zloty sucks.
Also, for anyone interested, regular and deluxe editions can be bought directly through Steam. It's somewhat faster than using the BI store. http://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/

I will definately agree that the Steam Store is faster, much faster.

But I wanted my Supporter Edition (destroying my bank account in the process), and I don't like to buy things off steam. I prefer disks or direct to the company. Which is what buying from their store is giving me.

But the release handling of ArmA 3 Alpha has been fairly horrible. Their servers havent coped well., and still arent now, a good.. two hours later.

They'd better upgrade in time for the full release, or they're in for Diaspora'ing of epic proportions. I also would have preferred disks over Steam for this, but we've had no choice. Well, starting the Alpha now. I hope my computer doesn't explode.
