This...and before you flame me I do not expect to get in before the weekend Satr at the earliest. I did not preorder before the first week of Nov. I still have the email from mid July that CLEARLY states, the earlier you preorder the earlier you will get EGA up to 5 days. BW, EA/Origin actually extended to 7 days and they did NOT have to do that. Wait patiently and you will get in. There are worse things happening in the world today then you not getting free play time on a video game.
