@bengoshi I am disappointed. You have allowed yourself to be BAMBOOZLED!
How did you let the fact that A COLLECTORS EDITION will be available get past you!
People rely on you!
...
For some reason I need to state everything gets past me, and I honestly did not see the pre-orders being available on world book day... Dressed as I am, as a dinosaur in underpants. If you know the book I will insightful you... ...
Actually just purchased it... SO HAAAAPPPY! (the game not the dinosaur suit...)
True story: my husband doesn't drink and once I sent him to the liquor store for a bottle of wine. I knew he knew nothing about alcohol so I specified "red wine. Just red." Shiraz, cab, whatever, I didn't care. Just. Red. Wine.
He came back and handed me a gift box of Crown Royal. I made this face: o.O
(Then he revealed he also had red wine, he just wanted the dice bag that came with the Crown.)
@Vallmyr Look - the Collector's Edition is "Available only while supplies last".
So GO FOR THE EYES!
For my job I set my own hours and I might just work all night tonight making back the money I'd use to buy it. Totally probably going to buy it when I get home from class.
Does any new trailer mean much, if the game will be released in 4 weeks? I don't think so. They've put all their efforts into bug-fixing, and this is much more important.
no new trailer with release date? marketing mistake!
Normally I would agree, but I feel like the last trailer was amazing, and that's enough for its impressions to last. I mean, you can't top that Minsc voiceover and anything else would be kind of a letdown at this point.
We should have a new trailer for launch day, if all goes well. Or maybe before, but like bengoshi said, it's all about bug fixing atm. We have such a small team that artists working on a trailer means artists not working on SoD, so...
not exactly true, minsc is only playing with old Bg1 nostalgia, they could show in trailer some cinematics with new stuff they created initiatory to the Siege of Dragonspear. but oh well, good that we have release date at once !
I am planning on buying the collector's edition with the DVD. I noticed that it says I can download a digital copy on the 31st through Beamdog to play before the actual collector's set comes. However, I currently only own a GOG version of BG:EE. If I order the collector's edition, will I have access to SoD and the EE for download? Or must I wait for the DVD copy of both to come in before I get to play?

Buying the Collector's Edition will get you digital copy of both BG:EE and the Siege expansion. We want you to be able to play the game on launch day, even if this is your first time buying the game from Beamdog.com.
Now, after all the pre-order news and all, I can happily go to sleep. Thanks for today! Maybe it will be the happiest sleep since December, 2013 (the date of the OP here).

If you bought BGEE through a site not beamdog.com, you'll have to wait for the site to offer it for sale. That includes Steam. The preorders are only for Beamdog versions.

The main pages are still updating, and then I'll put out a blog post and media alert. I hope the CE was a nice surprise!
