Half-Life 2 Worldwide Release Time

For those of you who are wondering when exactly Half-Life 2 will unlock, wonder no more. A forum posting at Steampowered.com breaks down the times for the worldwide release of Half-Life 2.
The word is that not only will HL2 be released on the same date across the world, but also the same time. Vivendi are forcing retailers to only start selling HL2 at midnight Seattle time (GMT-8), with taking into account time zone differences. The reason being is that Vivendi are planning to release HL2 across the worldwide simultaneously, for both retail and steam.
Included in the forum posting is a link to a time zone converter. This little tool will help you figure out exactly how long you will have to be up waiting for your release.

There's an error in that table as far as i see it.

0GMT || 8:00AM (Nov 16th)
+1GMT || 10:00AM (Nov 16th)
+2GMT || 11:00AM (Nov 16th)
+3GMT || 12:00PM (Nov 16th)
+1GMT should be 9am not 10am, he seems to have skipped 9am completly. +2GMT should be a 10AM release etc.
