Is there any advantage to preordering besides beta access?

As in getting a discount for the game (compared to what it will cost when it is released), or any other type of preorder bonus?

    Well, you get the full game for the cost of the pre-order (dont have to pay more when its released), access to the beta, and i think they mentioned some kind of icon displayed next to your name in-game once game is out (not sure on this though, just something i thought i heard the devs say)

    The only things promised are beta access, the full version on release, and the dev's eternal gratitude.

    So the game will be the same price to pre-order as it is on release correct?

    I don't think they have stated what the release price will be, wouldn't be surprised to see it bumped up to $40.

    I know the pre-orders used to be cheaper earlier in the development cycle, but I'm not sure if this is where the price is going to stay or not. I'll admit I haven't been paying the most attention after I got my copy :)

    I think I remember reading somewhere that the dev's come to each one of our houses and holds a small party in our honor.

    Maybe I dreamed that..

    Anyway if you'd per-ordered earlier you would have got a nice swanky black armor skin in-game.

    I was wondering what the price was for the released game before pre-ordering. I thought the game would be cheaper since right now we're also paying for the Beta since we get nothing else. Oh and the eternal gratitude DLC pack.

    Beyond a free copy of Lemmings 95 (which is free, thanks Psygnosis) I don't quite know how one downloads 'eternal graditude' ?

    There has been no final decision on release pricing. This is NOT saying the price will change, it just may and has not been finalized yet.
