I w[sh]ouldn't pay $220 for a CE and that makes me sad. I had planned on this CE but that would ruin the plan.

Maybe if it came with a lightsaber. ppssshhh, got one alreadyI heart you. and For that price, I want more exclusive digital items please. Only 2 items say they’re exclusive and one is a store. So in-game, the only unique thing I get for $220, is a little mouse droid... meh... Things swaying me: - 2 droids
- Music CD
- 2 droids
- Free vehicle
- 6 day headstart for preorder CEs
Is there going to be a Republic CE and an Empire CE or is this it? In the standard preorder, there's a color stone to change your weapon effect. I wonder what the color is and is it different for Republic or Empire? I wonder if they'll do a download-only CE. Usually there is, and it has more digital features to compensate... I would be happy if they hacked the price down a bit. but $220.... That's really $440 for Ab and I. I do want the headstart and the droids! Maybe it won't really be $220. This hasn't been confirmed!

$220 bucks?!?!?!?!
No prob if...
1. A REAL lightsaber! Cmon, we all know the Department of Defense has some laying around in a hanger somewhere outside Las Vegas 2. A statue of Han Solo, but wait the statue is moving, something is inside!! HOLY SHIT, Harrison Ford comes breaking out and "Pew Pew" kills both the dogs and busts through the sliding glass door and hes gone! (ok, maybe not killing the dogs, Kelly would be PISSED.) Did i mention Calista Flockhart too?!? She needs to run by my house wearing only a Chewbacca mask. Let her know not to shave for a few months as well. I like my Chewbacca with alittle european flare!! 3. Everytime i accomplish anything in the game it will give a global popup message to everyone else letting them know im way more Uber. But i want it to glitch and make everyone log out to get the popup to go away 4. NO GOLD FARMERS!! This one is easy to solve. We already have lasers that can shoot down missiles right?!? Well, when i need to find a location i use google maps and i can see exactly where the house or building is. Track their IP address, use google maps to pinpoint the location, point that big ass laser at the warehouse with the 4,391 chinese bastards are at, push the red button "FIRE"! Easy, easy, easy!!! 5. Allow backslash commands to work for everything! /fly /sit all should really work. But, i want the good ones. /beer and have someone drive out to the house with beer! Or, /backmassage, and a hott blond swedish lady appears and gives me a massage... oh wait, i think that command should be /backmassageblond. You get the point...
EA i hope you read this post. These demands are a minor thing to make us loyal fans (loyal if you get SWTOR right, PISSED and a Shipjumper if you f it up) buy the CE. Thank you for your time

Kotaku's price rumor : Here's what that more expensive option (rumored to be priced at €149.95/ $175 USD) includes, according to associated artwork. kotaku.com/5822741/rumor-star-wars-the-old-republic-collectors-edition-details-leak-limited-pre+orders-start-thursdayMore: A source claiming to have knowledge of EA's plans for Star Wars: The Old Republic tells Kotaku that pre-orders for the game will begin this Thursday, July 21 at 2am CST.
Pre-orders for The Old Republic will come in two flavors, the basic edition and the special Collector's Edition. The total number of pre-orders EA is purportedly taking caps out at 500,000, with only the first 50,000 pre-orders guaranteed, the rest queued in a prioritized waiting list.
Those purchases will only be handled through EA's online store, Origin. Interested customers may want to make sure they have an Origin account in good standing prior to the pre-order launch if they're hungry for an early copy. So according to this, you can only get the pre-order perks through Origin? And what does that mean that they're only guaranteeing the first 50k preorders?!?! ugh... I need some sort of official statement.

I'm assuming any digital editions will be Origin only. I'm hoping the physical CE will be under the rumored cost, if it is I'll be ordering through Amazon for release day delivery. If not....I dunno. I really don't want to start up an Origin account for one game.

It means EA is trying to screw the potential of SWTOR by being greedy again. Do these asshole have their heads up their... Assholes? They know 500,000 people are going to freak out and preorder. They just want 100% royalties going through Origins. I might give them my money, but not without me farting in their face

I think this Origin thing is really going to bite them in the ass.
When you are trying to compete with WoW, why would you limit the ways people can buy it?

especially limiting by NOT selling a major PC title through Steam. That's just BOLD.

But if they are only confirming the first 50k orders and the preorder date rumor is tomorrow, should I panic and set up an Origins account now? arg! edit: FIXED preorder for release
