Black armour and other deluxe item things

So... I'm not one of those guys who preordered waaaaaaaaaay back (mostly because I had some random fear of paypal back then and you had to use it.). But a few months ago I decided to buy it anyways when I read about it somewhere... :P

Aaanyways I bought the game with paypal via the humble bundle thingy, got the key and downloaded the beta via steam. Like a month later I got an email containing the following:

"We are also announcing our "Deluxe" edition, which you get for _free_ if you have already pre-ordered the game. This edition includes the full NS2 soundtrack, a digital art book, a new in-game marine model, and more."

I would assume this makes me entitled to the black armour skin? The email also contains the following:

"As an extra thanks to all of you that have pre-ordered, we are also giving you a _free copy of NS2_! This gift copy will arrive on Steam soon and you will be able to give it to any friend you want to play with."

Which I did get... so I assume I qualified for the entire thing? I don't have a key or anything for the deluxe stuff though and it's not listed under the DLC tab on steam.

Have I just confused things somehow or am I supposed to get a key? I did the retrieve key thing and it doesn't work. :S

Halp plx? ^.^


EDIT: Upon reading the text a third time over I realise I'm getting ANOTHER piece of armour (not the black) from the deluxe thingy... I think... but the question about the deluxe stuff still stands... how do I get it??? >.<'


EDIT2: Not complaining or anything I just get a bit confused 'cus it doesn't say anything anywhere that I have the deluxe edition and I don't know how to switch skins and I haven't gotten the soundtrack yet >.<' Just looking for clarification really!

    I had the same question about the soundtrack.
    I already got the gift on steam, but no armor, no soundtrack either.

    I suppose it's going to appear on release day.
    Can anyone confirm please ?

    The soundtrack, art book and new (deluxe) armour will come on release day.

    If you are missing the black armour and bought the special edition, this means you have not enetered your 2nd key sent to you. Check your email for a black armour key for steam from 'NS2 Store'. You can also get your keys re-sent from here if you can't find it: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/retrieve" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/retrieve</a>

    Note: You will not have the Black Armor if you did not buy the game during the alpha at a significant price for the <b>'Special Edition'</b> NOT the <b>'Deluxe Edition'</b>.

    If you bought Standard Edition BEFORE September 4th you will have a free upgrade to 'Deluxe Edition' with the new Armor.

    The Armor you get with the 'Deluxe Edition' is different to all the others but is not Black Armor.

    Yes thanks I figured that out :P Does it say anywhere that you have the Deluxe edition though? I assume, from the information given here that I do have it... :P *shrugs* I guess I can get it solves post release if I don't get the soundtrack (which is what I'm after 'cus it's awesome and I want it naows).

    Thanks for the help ^.^

    Everyone who has bought the game so far will have at least the Deluxe edition. Only the free gift copies are of the normal edition. If you pre-ordered before Steam, that free copy was your bonus.

    So there's at least four different tiers currently. :D Pre-Steam Special Edition, Pre-Steam Standard Edition (will be Deluxe), Steam pre-order (will be Deluxe) and the gift copy/normal copy after release.

    If I understand this correctly there are 3 different armors?

    Black Armor - Classic Armor - Deluxe Armor
