Well I got the digital deluxe version from EA store in the end, that £10 off voucher someone posted made it a good deal. I've pre-loaded the game but it won't let me pre-load the 2 quest DLCs, anyone else have that? Maybe we can't dl them til the game unlocks? Only got one serial in the conformation email, said the extra codes will be posted on release but not sure if that is just for the exclusive items or the DLC quests.
Anyway, the purchase/pre-load went smooth as silk, no issues there. First time I've used EA store, so after hearing all the horror stories about it I was quite surprised
As a side note, that social network site is a trainwreck. What was wrong with old forum? A bit silly to beta a new site so close to the release of the game.
The social site is a trainwreck, people are having a lot of problems getting the DLC because they can't get the site to accept the codes and the like.
As for the EA downloader, those bonus things there aren't the DLC, which are around 500mb/300mb to download and can only be done from within the game in stupid "lets pretend you're using an x-box" style. I assume the small downloads listed in the EADM are the bonus music tracks and other random junk you get with deluxe versions of the game.
You should probably by now have the cd key in an e-mail from EA store, you can add that already to the bioware trainwreck of a site, and the second e-mail with the dlc/extra items stuff you should get soon(says within 48 hours for mine though thats probably for the early release in the USA). Add them in the bonus codes area(well it looks like thats where) on the same bioware site, then in game you can log in to that account which will register you have access to the DLC/bonus items and you can download them from a downloadable content menu option. Until you have the codes it lists the dlc's and any bonus items you can download and add but both DLC's have a points/live type cost with them.
