I'm guessing soon means we'll be able to buy it sometime tomorrow at the latest (GMT).

This is probably stuff everyone has heard already, but you can download directly from Masthead Studios and it'll be cheapest. If you get the boxed version from Iceberg Interactive, they say they will open your box and give you the key so you can play on the 4th, but you'll pay more than $65 for it.
In time I suspect that Direc2Drive, maybe Steam, or others may have it, but that's just a guess. I'm waiting on Masthead to open their store so I can get my download copy.

The store isn't up yet, and don't you dare buy from Iceberg, they'll charge you a lot more.
Just got this message on the beta forums,

If you live in the states - what are the options other than Digital DL? Anything cheaper?
