Just wondering how many preorders have been made so far, I hope its a lot. Considering the boards have been almost dead for awhile-- population base wise. (yes you are going to argue that)
I got the special,been looking forward to number 2 since day 1 but a little frightened about the install base right now is.

No idea, but I just pre-ordered the special edition (I know I don't gain much; but let them have it) and I was number ~3000 via paypal invoice.
pretty sure that was the item number you saw and not related to number of purchases... doesn't matter does it?
Further on this, just link people on your steam/msn to the trailer, I have linked ~10 people, all who didn't know it was out yet, or knew that NS2 was even coming... thats 10 more potential sales, with the price of NS2 being what it is.. the percentage of people who take a look and then purchase will be larger than most games I'd say.
Once it hits steam, I'd say the sales will explode.. because it will be in people's faces, and the price tag is very attractive compared to other games coming out around the same time, which are all around $50-60 USD.
Just tell your friends, make some posts on other forums.. link in your fb status.. if you are concerned about sales, then go and make some happen; it will help bring a larger player base, and further updates and development on the game through the revenue gained.
Not -everyone- preordered, but that hopefully gives you a possible number. Gotta also take into account those who don't have a forum account that preordered, which would be x. So, really, at the very least, perhaps... 2,000+x. That might be cutting it small, but I dunno. I know 15 people that preordered.
And those of you who already "own"/have bought an edition join everything there is to join:

I know 6 people who have purchased the SE..
If I remember correctly, NS1 had between two and three million unique users over its lifetime (the number should be somewhere around here). There's a significant market penetration here; the question is how many of those people are a) willing to come back (life will have happened to a lot of them) and b) buy the product on faith. It's very difficult to gauge both. I know Charlie and the gang are happy with the numbers, and that's really all there is to it.
Special Edition Pre-Order, thank you.

£25? I'm thinking more about how much I owe them in BACKPAYMENT for NS1. I must have clocked up half a year gaming time on that thing. By my maths, I paid around about half a penny an hour <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />.
