To all who have pre-ordered, we ask for your patience as we move toward our final release date -- and we will be working on something a little extra for you.

A little extra as compensation for our patience. Any word on what we are going to get for the additional wait?

I think there's some confusion here, or Trent may have misspoke - it's not that only people who pre-ordered will get an extra bonus, but rather than with the additional time we've added some things that we weren't going to add. Unfortunately they're both not yet finished, but one will be going out as an announced feature in a post-release updates, and the other will be going out as a super secret (but really cool) easter egg in one of the post-release updates.

@PhillipDaigle Thanks a lot for clearing this up! So these two things will be free?

Yes.
