Goddammit EA, stop it with the fucking pre-order and collector's edition bonuses. The combined total of all of the special bonuses announced so far adds up to 1 plot mission, 1 full squad-mate, 8 weapons, 1 full armor set, and 4 squad outfits. If I'm paying 60 dollars for a game, the least you can do is give me the whole fucking thing. Makes me wish I could run this game on my PC so I could buy the standard edition and torrent all of the extra content.

I currently have no money, and I still need to play through the first two to build up my character anyway, so I won't be able to play this for some time. Which also means I will have to avoid spoilers until then.
As for the game itself, I'm remaining cautious that they won't fuck it up. I wasn't overly impressed with the demo and some of the news that I've been hearing lately. That trailer looked great, though, so I'm slightly more optimistic than I was before.
Speaking of the trailer, "Watch the extended cut Tuesday"? So basically, I just watched a preview for the full trailer. A trailer for a trailer. What in the hell is the point of that?
