I'm skeptical about this because they never said they would be playable, they said they would be introduced. Introduced could mean they would come out as NPC or as part of the story line. While I hope they are playable his words were to vague and due to that left open to peoples interpretation on what he meant.

If they are in fact playable (which I do hope for) and SE confirms this, then yes I agree that existing players who were playing before the release of the PS3 should be allowed a one time change to their race without loosing any gear/ranks/levels/etc.
