That was english. But I will try primary school english.;)

Go to http://social.bioware.com/user_home.php click on the profile button on the left hand side, then navigate the drop down menu to your registered game promotions, then when the screen is loaded click on the mass effect 2 name ,then you should get a screen telling you have the blood dragon armor registered for the pc and xbox 360 version of mass effect.
 
Good summary from one of the guys at the BW social. Spoiler free as well. BTW. He says squad mates don't get armor sets, that's a major let down means we have 4 sets of armor and you can only use one at a time.

A store sold me the PC version early and I've been playing for a few hours, but I've stopped 'cos I wanna wait for the DLC. First of all, I wanna say that if you used console cheats YOUR SAVE ISN'T CORRUPTED, you can still import and there won't be any problems

Anyway here are my impresions:

Combat:
- Combat has been vastly improved, it's much more fun now
- There's much more combat than in ME1
- Ammo can be scarce if you don't look for it, especially shotgun or sniper ammo
- Sentinel is tougher than Soldier 'cos of it's special ability
- Biotic combos are fun, but you can't use biotics on someone (except warp) if the enemy has armor/shield
- Soldiers don't get the SMG
- Difficulty has been improved. I played on hardened and it was perfect, not too easy, not too hard
- Squad control has been improved

The story and places
- All I can say is that all of your questions about the story and Shepard will be answered ingame
- The review that said that it's unknown whether Shepard is a spectre and that there is no mention of them is wrong
- Planets are much more populated. The Citadel is awesome
- The choices you made in ME1 affect only dialogue and a few scenes play out differently. You do hear about stuff you did which makes the game more personal
- There are more easter eggs
- The story is "darker" and "emotional engaging"
- There's less loot now, but there's more "optional items" (like fish and stuff)

Dialogue
- Unlike ME1 where you got 3 options where Shepard says the exact same thing, you get 2 options where Shepard says totally different things
- Interrupts aren't very common
- Shepard speaks more often and there's much more personality to him
- Using charm will lead to one scene, while using intimidate leads to another, but the result is the same
- Renegade options are more fun
- Mark Meer has improved
- Cutscenes can be skipped (only the beginning scenes can't be skipped)

Minigames
- The hacking mini games are more fun than in ME1, but the scanning planets minigame is annoying

Graphics
- They're good, better than ME1
- Miranda's face looks funny in some rare scenes, but she's still pretty in most
- The red veins aren't that bad

Bugs
- SMG visually occupies the same slot as the Heavy pistol
- Shepard has an AR in cutscenes even if he isn't trained in one
- Constant glitches where you go off the map or walk 2 feet off the ground. Mostly like you've seen on Youtube
- The game lagged a couple of times
- The squad AI is dumb if you don't tell them what to do
- Loadings aren't as fast as in ME1
- There's sometimes graphic glitches in the eyes

While ME1 started off slowly, ME2 start with a bang, and for the next 2 hours there's 90% shooting, 10% dialogue. There's also very annoying achievements pop-ups that can't be disabled
So far, it looks like a better game than ME1 in every way

Any questions?

yeah wondering about that...

I thought soldiers are trained to use all weapons? or does the smg all of a sudden not qualify as a weapon? :p
 
Also how can you not use biotics on enemies who are armored or who have shields?

I think the best thing to would be to stick to official reviews until we have played the game for our selves. else we will be spoiling the game.
 
Xbox 360 gamers can download some items. Pretty sure a lot of this stuff will require authorization so be aware.

I have put a media black out on Mass Effect 2. For the next 3 days i will not be reading or viewing anything. Not running the risk that something spoils it for me.
 
i heard something about a delay this side, can't find anything concrete... hope it's not true

According to kalahari.net the CE will only be landing in SA on friday. So there may be a delay. If it lands Friday it should still reach the Gauteng stores on that day but others may be a major issue.

Potential delay on Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition -- stock only landing in SA on Friday -- updates as soon as I know more
