I cannot see them giving away all content like that. Maybe give a discount for buying the new skins, but to give everything away like that I just don't see happening for we don't know the price or the model. If they are going to charge $5 per skin per javelin, it could work out to being a massive loss for them and negate the entire system because that might be hundreds if not more dollars of free content for people. They are giving a set of cosmetics that are exclusive to the deluxe edition for $20 more with any additional bonus that might be included. Looks like a standard edition with a preorder bonus skin for Ranger at $60 and deluxe for $80 that includes preorder bonus skins for all rigs and a legendary weapon...so you're pretty close on that $5 mark. Video reviews that and other elements of the game. Seems to me critical info would be the look of the skin before buying/preordering.
If you know how it looks and it looks cool to you, then I see nothing wrong with charging for it.

I think that is the best approach even when it comes to systems that you want demonstrated in the game. My guess is that its going to look like the helmet that they are using for the cover art of the game, but that is just a guess.

I wonder if the armor pieces are separate from that color scheme, or if they're static looking like that...

If Bioware follows their patern, those armors will probably have no color selection available.

That's my guess. As a noob, your starter freelance character will only have access to basic gear (imo).

Hold on, am I being thick here? Only I read this as that if you really want to play a demo of the game then pre-order it? If so that makes no sense as I'm on the fence & would like to play a demo before hand to know if I want it or not.
Maybe the sun has fried my brain today???

A really STUPID (emphasis on the word) pre order bonus. Let's indulge the concept for a moment to explore why they might have done it that way. I'm going to assume that the demo is not simply an early showing of the game, but that it genuinely has some 'stress testing' value of the co-op mechanics. So you need large numbers to try it but not uncapped numbers. EA Access hurt Andromeda because it was pulled apart by a broad audience. Perhaps by offering the demo as a pre-order, the test audience is a little better disposed. They will have put some money down after all. For many, the lure of a demo will have made and actioned their pre-order decision.

Bio wants to CONTROL the audience predisposed to liking Anthem., is what you are implying.... I think.
Interesting. If the game cannot stand on its own laurels, what does it say about Anthem?

It is weird having to pay for a demonstration version of the game.
I am still from the time game demos would come with those CDs from some gaming related magazines.

EA/Bio will slap on a NDA. A stress test of sorts, maybe. Depends on the expected pre-order sales. Marketing probably wants a number for sale extrapolation. Besides, I believe this demo is limited and much work is still needed for "stress test" purposes. I'm talking another five months of needed work.

EA/Bio is going after those people who want/lean towards getting the game. This is an enticement.
I'll consider a purchase when it's on sale.
Speaking of buying and off-topic, the Battlefiled V PC specs are interesting.
