I would just like to add something to the debate - make of it what you will. I took notice of this project when it was in it's infancy and have not been back until today. I was blown away with excitement at the news of Firaxis's announcement, and am eagerly awaiting that product.
And then I came here and pre-ordered.
edit: Incidentally, I did order the premium - not sure how the badge is supposed to show up here for me.
