    Super-happy news here from Unity HQ: Unity 3 is nearly ready - the beta testers and preview customers got their hands on the RC1 build a few days ago. This means we're wrapping up this cycle and shipping soon.

    It also means that our pre-order rebate is about to expire, so now is your last chance to pick up Unity 3 at the discounted price. Head over to the Unity 3 page to see more about it, or go straight to the store to buy your copy today!

    We can't wait to finally get this out there - it's been a tremendous release. A few random stats: over 40 man-years of effort went into Unity 3, and over 100,000 hours of beta testing activity has taken place. Thanks to all of you who helped us out!

    You have just made an impatient person more impatient.

    cannot wait.

    you need some sort of HTML countdown thing.

    Great news.
    Just got the pre-order a few days ago, good to see version 3 coming out anytime soon, this way I can start learning/messing about with version 3 directly.

    Waiting.......

    Unity 3.0 RC2 at downloading on a direct link it is registered as 2.6.1 as a trial without key input. It is a bug or a feature?
    After registration the letter comes "Unity: Welcome to Unity 2.6.1".

    I'll get my budget for the Pro license soon, hope i will still make it for the preorder deal D:

    I was wondering, i pre-ordered the iPhone Basic version. Is it possible to actually release games already with the Release Candidate?

    Then i can just start using 3 and not 1.7 to work on my game, but it has to be done soon.

    No need to wait for an email which is always days behind the actual live download link,
    open Unity 3 beta and if the automated function doesn't alert you right away,
    go under Help and run the Update check manually.

    I think you mean @unity3d.com

    I guess I'll try support instead of sales@unity3d.com like I was instructed as I have gone weeks without a response to my pre-order for a beta link. :(

    I would guess when U3 is out of beta and preorder which is also the moment it will likely appear for download regularily on the website.

    I doubt it will take that long; the RCs are actually coming out much faster than the beta builds.

    For comparison, 2.6.1 was finalized at RC3.

    hehe indeed.

    though will be interesting to see what it fixed cause RC4 didn't fix anything on the tech anymore according the changelog that comes in the dmg

    Code (csharp):
    1. while (RC4 == FR){
    2.   CheckFinalDirectLink();
    3.   yield WaitForHours(1.0);
    4. }
    5. GoSleep( 12.0 );

    Ah crap, I can't keep up! I just downloaded RC4 last night and haven't even installed it. Still running RC2 in fact.

    At this point, I think I'll just wait and download the final version.

    I'd like to say "Man Unity get ur stuff together with all these big downloads"

    but uhh

    What i'm going to say is "Unity Team is AWESOME and an extremely active group".

    Well worth the downloads :)

    PS:
    Dont run out of bandwidth before release :)
