Just had a look through the shop then. Some of it is pretty neat, but I don't think I could really justify spending money on the game just yet.
Curious as to what exactly this 'early access' thing gives you. It's quite vague and only really tells you about the other items you get. Any ideas?
I'd assume its similar to pre-order, but for a free game, so your normal bonuses
-Early/beta access, some DLC-content (Skins/other stuff).
Iirc you could pay to get into tribes beta, and you got a heap of bonuses too (Extra XP, in-game "gold" etc)
EDIT : From in-game
"This bundle contains a tradable [b] Dota 2 Early Access Pass [b] a Mighty boar courier , and a full set of items for sven and axe!"
All up - Mighty Boar, Stoic mask of the high plains, wolf cape of the high plains, aspect wraps of the high plains, long-fang the grey blade, tayrnhelp of the swordmaster, girth of the swordmaster (giggity), fluted guard of the swordmaster + grip of the swordmaster. + DOTA 2 key
Seems a bit silly that they would charge you $40 for something like that. It would be cheaper to buy the items individually and just find a key for the game on TF2Outpost or some crap, right?
Anyway, I like the new cosmetics system.

not everyone knows about tf2outpost, and trusting randoms with real-cash trades is always a bit iffy, better to buy strwaight off steam if you really want it i think.
More importantly though, you can watch it In-game (6 minute delay), with the Casters audio & view available. (as in, you can listen to the casters in the game)
In the "Watch" menu just filter by tournament, games will be there ^_^
Note: This update won't be pushed to the main Dota 2 client until the Wild Cards qualifiers are done. We expect this to be on Monday. To distract you from this fact, here are three heroes!
