Where is the patch

I have looked everywhere on the Activision site for the Rome TW patch that has been announced for online play at the moment the only place i can find it is through Gamespy and File planet where there is a one hour wait to download unless i cough up $60 to get it straight away, is it just me, but i think its wrong you have to pay for a game and then again for the patches to put it right, can anyone help. Don't know if this is in the correct section the site is new to me, its the first time i've played one of the total war series.

Many Thanks
