Its only a month or so away, but its gonna be a slooooow month waiting.

I would love to play the demo as soon as possible, even if it is full of bugs (I'm sure the final version won't be...)

I hope my vote counted! Voted for "Before even...". The voting script returned an error but when I wanted to vote again it said I can only vote once.

Though I miss a "When it goes Gold option". So when CtP2 would go Gold then a Demo would roll out. This is nice since you got the Demo before the release and it is still in the same "state".
Maybe you could add such an option Mark?

If the options are these:

1/ Release the final version as soon as possible. Dont mind all the bugs - we patch them up later. The demo we can release a couple of weeks later.

2/ Pre-release a nice demo, but wait another 2-4 weeks with the final version.

Then i think the second alternative is the better one.
