I believe it uses Steamworks and is fully bounded to Steam. That being said, we'll have to wait for the US premiere to launch in order to have the game released.
I can't understand why the date is even inverted. The proper way and logic would suggest that the smallest piece of a date structure came first => date/month/year. The current situation only brings confusion and nothing else.
While I agree it makes sense to us, I believe for databases or records or just date stamped stuff, it's often "inverted" to make sorting easier, i.e. a year ago, years ago, 2005, 2006, etc... I guess it depends on who wrote the program/application I guess though.
I couldn't care less how a program works or manages numbers. What matters is the normal every-day perception of things. For example, in most programming languages counting arrays starts at 0. But if you have, let's say, a few boxes in front of you, you don't start counting them up starting at zero - 0,1,2 ... You use the conventional and normal way - 1,2,3. See? It's not logical.
so let's put seconds before minutes and hours, and while we are at it let's write smaller decimal numbers in front and also switch notation in weight measurement because that's clearly the way to work with a bunch of numbers
They chose 11/9 because they knew they could display it as 9/11 and attract attention. Marketing. Simple as that. Bad marketing I would say though, because when you type it as 9/11 people think.. 9/11 not 11/9.
Now thats a wild guess from you imo
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Here's not the point of reversing everything or blowing up all known and well-established things out of proportions. The matter is that 95% of the world uses one date template while the US uses another. And why is that? The examples you provided aren't well chosen or suited. Not only are they illogical, they aren't even fitted to be used in the US. You're just switching places of small numbers to bigger ones.

No, it isn't.
It's called marketing 101. Say shit that attracts attention to get more sales.

Fixed.
And the game is marketed primarily for an American audience by an American company. The point stands. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Not that i'm pissed off about 9/11 reference. I'm pissed because here in America 11/9 is 11/9.

Most of the DEV's are british, and no its not marketed at the american audience its a global industry not an american one.
Anyone knows if I can use this CLONEDVD-P2P version and when I get key(friend will pick package for me and write me key), can I activate over STEAM and I'm ready to play?
no one knows exactly what the steam rip is going to do - i wouldn't bother, once you have a key you can download it from steam anyway.. unless you have really slow inet connection whats the point?
lol, I was thinking about buying Black Ops from Steam, so I checked the price and WTF? Are these guys mad? 59,99E for digital distributed media? Fuck you Steam and Activision I rather steal this game than pay 59.99E, Steamfuckers!!!

Blame Valve, not Activision.
It would be stupid to buy games through Steam if you live in Europe (I don't count the special offers of course).

, i mean factual should be ok, and to be honest.
Well I will rather download from STEAM and wait half a day, np for me, I was just asking if there's a faster way... Thx.
