    If you go into your social.bioware.com profile and select Profile| Registered Game Content, you can see all of the DA:2 items that will be automatically downloaded when the game is installed and you are signed in.

    Thanks Mortae. I hope to see you on my friend's list if you get this game! You haven't logged in in a while. : (

    @ Secksy - I didn't know if it would pop up saying "Come release day, you will get X item for playing the demo." Which is EXACTLY what the video I watched on my XBL dashboard said.

    Tomorrow is the day! Can't wait to crank up my headset volume to maximum, sit comfortably and play DA2 for 12+ hours straight without a care in the world. :)

    Think I'll stick with 360 for the "achieves" and for the luxury of lounging on my couch with a controller instead of this stiff desk.

    Plus, wife wants to play it as well.

    They've made some pretty decent improvements ever since the demo was released.

    In a word: OMFGITSSOAMAZING.

    Where the hell are all the reviews? Like 1up.com's and IGN's.

    I always read those 2 site's reviews at least before a purchase.

    This is insane?! Normally they review a big game like this a week before it comes out.

    What do you mean "embargoes on the reviews"?

    They can't legally release them because of some NDA?

    Most reviews rate it lower than DA:O but based on the premise that the second game should have been much better than the first one, not considering it a "new game". Overall the comment "More of the same" comes back a lot, which in my case is the best thing you could say. Also of all the reviews I have read that mentioned the length of the game, I have seen between 60 and 75 hours. Pretty much like the first one, I assume you can finish it in 40 and less if you rush through it.

    Overall it's great news for me, I am running it at Medium for now since DX11 has so many issues and I am still waiting on my new GTX 460 card. And seriously, medium looks awesome so I don't see the point of exposing myself to all the DX11 issues for now.

    I can confirm it's faster paced on the Xbox, and although the PC version has better graphics if you have a high-end card, I'm getting the Xbox version. I had much more fun playing it, where as for the the PC it was more like " UGH I'm clicking the ground!!! just cast the damn spell already!"

    Read rules 1 and 2 in my sig. If you want to discourage this sort of thing, follow the laws of gaming.

    It's actually a very nifty device to keep people from buying used; you buy new, you get extra content.

    Secksy approves.
