After I picked up my copy today that I reserved back in June I got a phone call from a Gamestop employee telling me I picked up the wrong one. They claimed my pre-order was for the PS3 LE not the 360 LE. Turns out an employee reserved the 360 one. I have only reserved one game on my PS3 and that was Arkham Asylum! 

As for what I played as I chose Human Warrior. So far so good. Can't wait to get to the meat of the story though!

Sounds like your answer should have been, "Wow, I'm such an idiot. I'll be right in." Hang up. Go play Dragon Age. Let 'em wait. :)

That's pretty much what I did. I carefully explained to them where to insert their PS3 version and proceeded home to play my new game! I mean I went in they know by name and knew what I was picking up, I didn't even need to say anything. Then they call me back telling me they sold me the wrong game!

I must admit I am loving this game. I'm only just past the origin story for the Dalish Elf (Which I had played at E3), and can't wait to get home and continue it.

I also like that the button mapping was done very well in the transition to consoles. At time you can hear the voice actors right out of Mass Effect which is cool.

The game also ties in perfectly with the first book that came out, The Stolen Throne. With mentions of Maric and others. Absolutely love that Loghain is in it as well.  Very well done by David Gaider to make sure everything ties together properly.

Yep, I'm loving the game. I've played through the origins with a human warrior and human mage so far.

So far this game is excellent. I'm still not used to switching between characters though as I like to play as just one and let the AI do it's thing. Does the main character ever speak? Or do you just make the dialogue choices for him?

I chose to play as a Human Warrior.

I'm enjoying the game so far (I've only played thru the beginning origin part).

I'm playing as a Human Noble Rogue.

Just played through the origin story and I'm about to do the Grey Warden ritual.

I'm really enjoying the game thus far.

No, he doesn't speak. That's been one of the criticisms in reviews of the game. Granted, I would have liked to have him speak, but I don't think it detracts from the overall game.

I believe it's a little over 6 gigs. Not too bad. Plus I haven't noticed any long load times with it being installed.

More than worth the cost of quieting my 360 fan.

I noticed this.  So what's the point in choosing his/her voice type in the beginning?
