You can buy it from Amazon, Gamestop, direct from Origin, pretty much anywhere that games are sold. DO IT! (i'd link to everything, but I'm at work)

This is one of those cases where I will prefer to go to a Gamestop, only because their codes are already allocated to them, and will print immediately on the receipt. Come 10am, I am dropping into my local Gamestop to upgrade my pre-order to collector's. EDIT: Also, it's likely that the game will force you to use Origin anyway...why risk not getting a pre-order? Unless you are at work of course.

Ordered it from Amazon, and got my code about 10 minutes later.
It was a slam dunk.

I ordered from Amazon as well, but I got the box CE. I received my code almost instantly.
I think the only way they are selling the Digital Deluxe is through Origins though, so they kinda have people trapped who want that.

I think I'll go for the CE box, too. Lots of tangibles as well as digitals in there, the most telling being the music CD. I could care more about the rest, although some of that looks pretty good too.
And that's very smooth of EA, to torpedo themselves so effectively. They must want their digital download service to fail. Maybe they plan to sell it to Valve. Good luck with that.
I'm not so sure about them being evil. Stupid is more likely. After all, evil is pretty rare, but stupid is with us every day.

Ya, that whole Origins process is insanely stupid.
Way to try to get a foothold in the digital market.

I preordered the Digital Deluxe version on Origin this morning before work in a panic because that's the version I really want. I really don't want to support the stupidity though. I'm going to check when I get home to see if it's possible to cancel. If so, I will most likely order the CE through Amazon.

Saw the note this AM before I jumped in the shower on the iphone, hit my amazon app and ordered; before I got into the shower my key was in my mailbox. Now the impatient waiting begins....

I grudgingly pre-ordered Digital through Origins. After all the scary warnings I got 'approval' and my code almost immediately.
I just applied to the guild, btw, and my pre-order key is entered, if that helps make the guild officially official
