"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. To all who have volunteered, we thank you for your dedication and support. "
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.
I can't believe how many people misread what Trent said in the original post. I took it to mean that they were taking the time to do something special for everyone.
And what is with this idea that you get something extra for pre-ordering anyways? You either pay for something earlier, or you pay for it later. You're going to have to pay for it. Did someone miss out on a vacation to Hawai for spending 20 bucks three months ago?

Quite common for there to be "exclusive" (haha) pre-order shinies with a lot of games these days, so people tend to build this illusion that all games should have them and they're somehow cheated when it isn't the case.

I want to known what we will get for the delay on the delivery (it was promised some kind of compensation)

So... for now, I'm ok with it.
