Can we get some kind of official word on the preorder allowing us to have the game in Steam?  I understand the beta only being on Stardock, but I'd like to get the game itself on Steam.

Island Dog is an official representative of the company.

+1 for this, I preordered right away, cuz it's such a steal at 29.95! And it's a game I know I'm gonna spend a lot of time on. But it's practical for me to keep it in steam, and let steam handle all software upgrades and install/uninstalls and such

I pre-ordered this back when it was previously on offer back in September, and its showing on my pre-orders menu. However, I recall it saying that I won't be charged until the Beta is up and its not showing on my orders history. The problem is the card I think I used on the pre-order is due to expire at the end of the month. Is there any way for me to check what card I used and, if necessary, change it?

Well, a non steam game  can be added to the Steam client without problem...

On the top menu... games > add a non Steam game to my library ... and steam begin scan for ALL applications/software... not only you can add games but you can add application too... you can add your e-mail software, your open-office software, everything...  

Rebellion pre-order keys will be redeemable via Steam when the time comes for the beta and final release.

I don't see a "my preorders". I've got "my downloads", "billing information", "password management", and "order history". It doesn't show up in any of them, but I still have my preorder email with order number. :confused:

When I try to checkout the preorder with $10 off it says:

Pre-Requisite must be purchased first

You must have purchased the pre-requisite product before attempting to purchase Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Upgrade [PO].

I have Sins Trinity on Steam, how can I preorder and get the discount?

I must warn you all that your going to play the beta first after you pay-so are you willing to pay for the game now and get an unfinished copy or wait to pay for the completely polished version? Frankly speaking i'd rather let the regulars find all the bugs in the beta and the modders dissect the game and pretend they know better -to amuse myself. 

I would love to preorder, but I'm holding out for a boxed edition, or better yet, a collectors edition. How does that work in relation to this rebate for current owners? I'm assuming the special editions, if available, won't have the same price as the regular one.

Typically, if you pre-order you will get the option to upgrade to the boxed version when available.

Du'h!

They say so on the pre-order page.

NOW BACK IN YOUR CAGE TROLL!

If you re-pre-order you should be all set.

Email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Oh, hmm...well in that case I guess I might as well pre order I just really want to make sure I don't miss out on the CE if available.

Thank you for the quick reply! 

After using the totally non-obvious instructions to see that my preorder is confirmed, I still see no way to update my billing information, aside from the address. Since you tricked me into pre ordering 400 years before the game was released my card has long been shredded and expired... How can I go about that part?

Edit: I see someone else has the same issue:

Your best bet is to email [email protected] to have them (us) cancel the order and make a new one with a card that will be good until beta release.

So, when will that be? I need to make sure my card will still be good 

yo tambien tengo la misma inquietud... para mi tendrían que pedir actualizar los datos de la tarjeta en el momento de la beta si hay problemas  cuando te manden el mail... no?

Release date = me being interested in giving you MY money.  I dont like paying for something that will be released "in 2012".....

Good enough for me!  Preordering now...  Thanks for the information Yarlen!

I would like to take advantage of this nice pre order discount for existing customers, but this is very complicated for me at the least. 1st of all, the only game i have for stardock store is the original sins which is under my old email account. 2nd, i have entrenchment and diplomacy through gamespy impulse with my newer email account. I have all the games posted on my games list by by using both email account. now how would i be able to get the discount price? I don't seem to see any pre order of Rebellion available for gamespy impulse at all. I tried to buy it through stardock store but it doesn't give any discount because it only shows the original sins is the only thing i bought from there.

help or send me an private email for the coupon would be nice lol j/k. but please do assist if you guys know how to get around this.

Any idea when the individual games/expansions will be available through "My Downloads"?  I've been waiting months to install without the need of Impulse!

Edit: Never mind, found my answer here (hopefully soon).

You can merge your products to one account at https://www.stardock.com/support/registrations/

Once you do that you can get the discount at https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/store

Missed the last pre-order discount.

Plus the exchange rate (CAD/USD) was pretty good today, so I completely ran out of reasons to not to pre-order.

thank you Zubas but umm... lol!

I forgot to mention that I had already pre ordered rebellion under $39.99 before your reply. I don't suppose it's still possible to get it right. I have already merged everything under 1 email account and checked my current pre order status and it is still under $39.99. No big deal if its not possible. Thanks again Zubas for your quick reply.
