The $175+ CE box set was not something I was willing to pay. the Deluxe digital download for +$20 of retail I am willing to consider.

This.

That deluxe box seems ridiculous.

Yeah, I don't think I need a statue to clutter my desk... or to spend the extra hundred bucks on it.

The music would be cool, not +$100 cool though.

Only if it includes in-game goggles.

Love me some goggles.

I bet they make it like WoW with just hundreds of non-combat pets anyway.

If it was an ATak-STak it would totally be worth the extra 100 bucks

I always go for the collectors editions. Not like I have anything else to blow my money on.

Those in-game extras sound spiffy. I just want to start playing the damn game already.

In other exciting news, we're expecting a new squidling in early Jan, so I'm guessing my play time will be limited from then on. I'd like to at least have some play time before I finally get to be a father...

Actually, you will be surprised. I found in the first year, I had TONS of time for TV/Gaming/etc. Babies sleep a lot - so scheduling a specific time may be an issue but time in general may not be...

And congrats!!!

Jess used to breast feed during raids. You can do it if you really want.

Biologically speaking, that would be interesting.

Digital Deluxe pre-ordered. I wonder what the special Vendor is though for CE... I was tempted...

preordered and code redeemed

Remember kids, preordering doesn't get you into the game early, it's the order in which you redeem your code that counts.

Speaking of knowing.....

Min specs:
OS
Windows XP, Vista/7
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better · Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0GHz or better
RAM
Windows XP: 1.5GB · Windows Vista and Windows 7: 2GB · PCs using a built-in graphical chipset, 2GB RAM recommended.
Video
ATI X1800 or better* · nVidia 7800 or better* · Intel 4100 Integrated Graphics or better*
DVD-ROM
8x or better *Minimum of 256MB of on-board RAM and Shader 3.0 or better support.


Upside my computer meets all of those things but the graphics card. The downside is the PC is kind of compact so monkeying around inside to install a better video card would be a pain in the ass.

I find it ironic that we can pre-order a game without a release date yet.
