Basically we don't have to wait to play on launch day. And it's certainly not specific to dragon-age: I've preloaded every game I've preordered going back several years.

People are going to get street copies early too. Amazon in particular is notorious for shipping games to people before you can play them (ostensibly for launch day delivery) and it's occasionally brick-and-mortar stores stock games early.

Way to drain all the humor from my post, Nurse Ratched...
