So I'm ''pretty much'' getting Skyrim tommorow night since I live in Australia, anyway im just wondering. Do I have to wait until it is released in America in order to Activate it on steam?

I'm getting it tomorrow afternoon, no later than 3:00. For the 360. Don't know about steam.

I've heard other people saying that you have to wait until it's released to play on PC because of the Steam requirement. So to answer your question: yes I'm fairly certain.
