Can't play BF3 until 3am?

I pre-loaded my copy through Origins and just wanted to see what would happen if I clicked the game. So I get a message saying my game won't be available until 0300. I know 0300 means 3 am. What's the deal? Can I not play the game until 3? I thought with the midnight launch and everything at 1201 I would be playing. Can anyone confirm this or give me some peace of mind on this?

Thanks in advance.

Your addiction is getting the best of you! Go to bed now, set the alarm to 3am, and it won't be a problem. You do know that the game will still be there in the morning? slabber44
