Wow, this is amazing. I did not read every post here, but I read the feature list of Unity3. It is like a dream comes true.
First, my harshest critic on Unity was the scene management and they just bought an industrial proven tool to solve this:

Then it renders with new shader system, deferred lighting, hundreds of lights possible with shaders, fantastic.
And shadows: I always dreamt of a solution to combine static and dynamic lighting including shaders in a working professional way, to fake global illumination plus having dynamic lighting. It works now. They just included another industrial tool, Beast:

And I dont have to pay extra, I theoretically can make game scenes look as nice as a rendered image/video now.
Besides that I dont have to code in C++ like I have to do in Ogre, Irrlicht, T3D or C4. I can use the way more comfortable C#.
To me it is a no-brainer, I have to order this. And when it got released then I will make some of our preview-images at Dexsoft in Unity3
This will be an exciting future.
