I think it will appear on the product in your Origin games list.

They said yesterday digital orders (Origin) would get their keys emailed to them on the 16th
Good point. I guess its no big deal.
I don't think you would lost game time since your subscription doesn't start.
But, yeah, I wouldn't want to stop playing. =P
Except Walmart
Better than nothing I guess. Although I have a feeling I'm not receiving my CE till the 22nd.

There will be a grace period. Don't worry about it. EA likes to test the waters and see the community reaction before committing to spending/losing even an extra penny on anything. They did the same thing with Warhammer Online. They claimed there would be no grace period, everyone freaked out, EA apologized and magically enabled a week-long grace period. They will do the same with SWTOR.

Great mouse for all games.

Good to hear, I couldn't decide if it would be awkward but my gut told me it would be glorious.

I've been using one since it was originally released. I have one sitting in my closet for when this one breaks, and if for some reason they become discontinued at some point I will buy 5 to 6 more.
Needless to say I love the naga. I hope your experience is as good as mine is. Also it takes approximately a week or two to get used to it, but then it's second nature.

Do you think the Razer Naga is better than the Naga Epic? Or at least better for the money?

Sweet, all the positive feedback is getting me excited to try it out. I've been using a logitech m400 or something for a couple years. Great mouse, nothing really wrong with it... but just playing this beta for a weekend I had keybinds all over the place. The Naga looked too good to pass up.

I've never even heard of it. I got the Naga last year sometime. At first I was like "wtf is this shit" but after a few days, I didn't even consider looking at another mouse. Thing is godlike for games.
It's a pretty nice mouse (my friend just bought one) but unfortunately those buttons are really tiny if you have even slightly larger than average hands. I really prefer my Logitech G9 just for the weight/size; a lot of the razer devices feel like toys when I'm using them. It has less side buttons but it's not any harder to map them to keyboard buttons I can easily reach.
Whatever.
Why does it have bite marks?
Gamer rage.
I'm using one of those too, along with my KBC Poker. I haven't ever found the need for more than two function layers (Ctrl/Shift) across all easily accessible keys.

Whatever.
Yea that's exactly what I have now. I actually like it, I'm just a massive sucker for thumb buttons. My brain is just too small to quickly micromange 1-9, shift, ctrl, alt, etc haha.

Once I broke my habit of using numlock for autorun (a habit since since EQ1 '99 lol) I liked my naga a little more. I didn't fiddle too much with it but when I hit numlock it would throw off my keybindings. I would've preferred the extra buttons to be considered m1-12 instead of keyboard buttons for binding purposes. I still don't like how my hand rests on it though.
Just got an ASUS G74sx for this so I wouldn't be so tied to my mancave. I don't know what it is with mmo releases but they make me spend money a lot more freely than I do normally. $15 new release on BLU? Wait until $12.99. New laptop for MMO? Sure sign me up. Shameful secret: I built a new pc for FFXIV. TOR should finally put it to some use.

Been using this as long as I can remember, I really like it.
Whatever.
I'm thinking of getting the redesign when I have the money. If I remember correctly, it's the exact same as yours, just the current model.
Operative PVP video ~ level 20. After reading someone else talk about it and actualy seeing it in this video, I'm going to try setting up "q, e, r, f, v, c, x, z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5" as hotkeys, with their "ctrl" and "shift" versions, as well. I think with 39 hotkeys, I should be ok to endgame.

Ugh - I really want to pre-order this game but I'm real wary because of my internet data cap (250GB and gone over already just with Netflix). Yay Comcast and the future of data. :/
Daaaaaaaaamn, that looks nice.I'm thinking of getting the redesign when I have the money. If I remember correctly, it's the exact same as yours, just the current model.

When the Orioles crap out midway through the 2012 season you're going to need something to distract from the failure.

Simple logitech mice for life. I've been using that mouse or a very similar variation for about the past 8 years or so.

I'd switch to ESDF from WASD. It opens up a & w and gives better access for t & g. It also let's your hands be naturally resting in a type-ready position allowing for easy transition.
That's why I play way too much fantasy baseball!
Pssshhht.

Looking at getting a Naga myself. Hopefully they'll be on sale during Boxing Day. Too bad I never found that one that stole my bike.
BTW, did anyone keep the music on during beta? I tried, but just like other MMO's it got too repetitive, what with the Corn on the Cob and other songs over and over again.

Really? Are we still asking this? I'm losing all hope for humanity here.
Most modern MMOs launches use early access or a head start program to both a) reward folks who either beta'd or pre-ordered their game and b) help alleviate congestion in low level areas during the game's official launch. Most of the publishers of said MMOs normally allow a grace period for entering a retail code into your account b/c they understand that shipping incidents crop up, some people may need to go get their copy at a place faraway and wait until the weekend etc, and allow them to keep playing for a couple days out of good faith.
Now you might say at this point "Well, EA/Bioware isn't most other companies." That much is painfully clear by now. That doesn't change the fact that as recently as August, their Senior Community Manager point blank said that there would be a grace period. That doesn't change the fact the cut-off applies inequally to different Timezones (midnight for EST? Fine go to bed, but 9pm PST? That's half the evening. 7PM PST for Hawaii/AK? Sorry bros, don't even bother), or that Collector's Edition orderers (i.e. the folks who've given Bioware an extra $90 for some trinkets) are the ones who really get screwed because there is no equal digital recourse for them.
Anyone who ordered a physical copy of the standard edition can simply cancel, buy the digital version through Origin and keep playing w/o interruption. CE purchasers don't have that option unless they want to either buy an extra copy for $60 (pay them yet more money) or forgo the CE content that they wanted in the first place.

Just cancelled my CE preorder from amazon in favor of my SE preorder. Couldn't justify the extra $90 when I'm not sure how much time I'll be sinking into this
Are Jedis viable DPS?
This brings up something I don't know about the game: is there cross-faction chat? It would be a nice plus if I can troll all the Jedi while my group is stealing their kills and corpse-camping them.

I tested over Thanksgiving weekend. Do I need to delete that client and preload on orgin where I preordered or can I just leave this install on my machine?
