Ditto. I wasn't going to as I'd ordered through GMG, but ultimately the soundtrack in the deluxe edition was just too tempting. With the price difference between the GMG basic preorder and the deluxe via Origin being roughly equivalent to a soundtrack CD anyway, all the other frivolous extras are just gravy now.
I've also ordered the hardcover player's guide. I think I've just crossed the too much money on one thing threshold for this.

I'm back from PAX (and waiting for EA Helpdesk to call me to do the same thing alhazred did, heh) so I thought I'd write up my meager experience

Whoo! Glad to hear you had a fun experience with the MP! Which kit did you try out? I honestly can't wait to get into it. I think I'll use the 10 hours for exploring the MP, and then focus more on the campaign after launch. Hope to see you online, maybe we can try a match together! :)
Oh, also did you go the Andromeda panel that was livestreamed? I didn't get a chance to watch it and was wondering if there was anything of interest mentioned?

Which kit did you try out?
I can't remember what it was called now lol. The available kits changed every day; what I remember about my kit was its powers (Pull, Throw, and Lance) and a comment on the description that it may be or is an ultra-rare one. Sigh. :)

Same! So if/when I manage to get the game pre-downloaded, I'll look for you (although by the time I get it dl'ed, you may have used up your 10 hours lol).
Oh, also did you go the Andromeda panel that was livestreamed?I did! Nothing earthshaking was mentioned (not like a few years ago when Mike Laidlaw used PAX East as an opportunity to announce Cullen as a romance option for DAI haha). The one possible tidbit of note was discovering Cathleen Rootsaert, who was one of the writers in ME3 (responsible for Kaidan), is now a Lead Writer for MEA. Between her, Jo Berry, Ann Lemay, and Courtney Woods, we had some good female representation

Pull, Throw and Lance sounds like the Human Kineticist. The pics I saw indeed had it labelled as an ultra-rare. What was Lance like? It looks awesome in the little video clips.
Is it weird that I'm kind of looking forward to building up my manifest from scratch? It'll be so awesome to start fresh with new weapons and level 1 kits. I wonder if the new N7HQ will launch with the trial or on Tuesday.
(although by the time I get it dl'ed, you may have used up your 10 hours lol) Nah, life has been pretty crazy for me since January! I'm going to start downloading it tonight, but I really doubt I'll be able to play it until Thursday evening... And maybe then only for 1 hour... I'm hoping to get a longer stretch in Friday night or Saturday, so I may see you around then!
