Mass Effect 2: Steam Pre-Order Download Ready
Can't wait to get at least something to do with Mass Effect 2 on your PC? Calm down. You can either control yourself or you can head to Steam and download the game now. It won't actually be active until January 28th of course.

The relevant page on Steam also details the 'Pre-Purchase Digital Deluxe Edition':

DIGITAL DELUXE EDITION
* Collector Armor and Assault Rifle: Two bonus in-game items: advanced regeneration armor and a powerful enemy-shredding assault rifle.

* Incisor Rifle - Bonus in-game weapon. Firing three shots with each pull of the trigger, the Incisor Rifle is designed to decimate shields.

* Original Soundtrack - 12 pieces.

* Digital Art Book - The art book contains 48 pages in full colour including captions from the Mass Effect 2 team.

* Digital Mass Effect Redemption #1 comic (read our review here).

* Documentary Video of behind the scenes work.

Of course, there's also pre-purchase incentive, in this case:

Inferno In-Game Armour: The suit is able to recognize elevated heart rates and pupil movement in people close by, acting almost like a lie detector. This same array also monitors the officer and regulates sub-systems with extreme efficiency to allow for greater response times.
Negotiation bonus 10%
All power damage 10%
Increases storm speed by 10%

Head over there.

I've pre-purchased "Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition" on Steam. Today is 2010-01-19. Under "My games" in Steam, Mass Effect 2 is listed as "Not yet released".

I have pre-purchased games in the past and had Steam download them before the actual release date. So far, this is NOT the case for Mass Effect 2.

Either one of us is a special case, or your assertion that Mass Effect 2 will predownload is incorrect.

Because this might still be confusing people: Mass Effect 2 IS a go to pre-download in the USA. If you are having trouble, you MUST restart Steam to allow it to patch
