You'll still have a chance at getting it, if those who preordered it didn't buy all of them before you can buy one.  I figured preordering would ive me something else other than access to the beta. 

I'm pretty sure all this information is on Ibn's thread.  If not, it should be.

What he said.

Yeah, but it sucks because it wasnt clear. Usually CEs are their own product and can be bought separately with a decent chance to get it. There are enought SOASE fans that all 1000 will probably be taken by people who preordered. I have been lurking on this forum for a long time trying to get any news about this, only to find out I might have lost my chance. Lame...

There will be more than 1,000 produced.  Those who preordered will have a chance to get them first.  If those who preorder don't buy them all up, you will be able to get one.

Basically, you would have had a better chance of getting one if you preordered.
