Launch Trailer! So excited!
@TomA:
Bioware has said the preorder items will probably be up for download sometime in the future.
Now I must watch the trailer another five times.
Great trailer. Really makes you pumped for the ensuing WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS ASHLEY DOING BEING ALIVE AND SHIT? EVA BRAUN JUNIOR SURE AIN'T WALKING AROUND HEALTHY IN MY MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE.
Oh, must be just one version of events represented in the trailer. Fair enough I suppose.
Holy FUCK. Now that was a trailer! Damn!
Felt like I was watching a movie trailer there, honestly. Can't wait for this game.
Epic trailer. I almost want to say Game of the year, but I mean.. there's a LOT of time left. We'll see.
Oh man. I can't wait. PS, I got some PC saves if anyone doesn't want to replay ME1 for the import data.
You can download it their now.

you can see she gets zapped by one of those bugs, and (in another trailer) she gets taken away by the collectors. Relax, she's most likely dead.
" Its a good trailer BUT Too much effing drama. Yes, the stakes are high. Yes, dark second act blah blah blah But these really well cut trailers are just setting up disappointment. "You realize you're talking about drama in an RPG. It may have a shooter aspect, but it's still an RPG.

So she's dead in my ME universe and is about to die in everyone else's ME universe?

I think Mass Effect 2 barely crosses that line, just barely. I think, still, for a RPG, you save all the drama for the game....
Its probably just me. Was still an awesome trailer though. Just a weird little nit-pick. Next week can't come soon enough.

The difference in those trailers is that they weren't created from actual in-game acting, events, ect. This is on the level of a real-deal blockbuster trailer, filled with everything you can expect from the game, judging from the reviews.
@NegativeCreep:
Definitely.Holy shit. God I can't wait for this game to come out. I hope my car still starts after not driving it for so long. Hopefully I can grab it on day 1. Hmm, wonder if Kaidan will take Ashley's place since she's gone on my file.
Just like Halo, more Mass Effect is always welcome.
Edit: Just re-watched it. Didn't notice it was Tali sliding down that thing with Shepard. She better not die. O.o
That is one epic trailer. Can't wait to get my hands on it now. I've been going out of my way to avoid all coverage of the game because I want to go in fresh but had to indulge after reading some responses.
