They could make that cost 1 million dollars for all I care, there is absolutely nothing in that edition that I need anyway so it was never on my radar. The standard edition is all I need, dont need anything else for release at all.

EA are a crafty bunch of sods, they've staggered the release of the game to three different dates, this IMO is an attempt at raking in more cash from people who are completely desperate to play it.

It goes like this..

* Want to play the game on the 13th of October for 10 hours? Sign up to EA Origin Access for 10 hours play time, and 10% off future purchases.

* You enjoyed the access? Buy the Deluxe or Premium edition for an extortionate amount of money (even with your 10% off) and get to play on the 18th of October

* ...be a cheapskate and get the Standard edition, but we won't let you play until the 21st of October, you'll get no super cool awesome skins though as a punishment

I myself will be getting the standard edition for £35. The skins are a complete and utter waste of money, I'll buy DLC when it drops in 2017, assuming the game is still relevant then.
 
im going the cheapskate option lol I really cant wait for the game but wont pay a stupid price for it either just to play a bit early,i can wait :)
 
I'm going the cheapskate otion too, but I also move on the 21st :(
Luckily a BT engineer visits on the 20th though to install Infinity for me so I'll be ready to go at least some time over the weekend.

Well if people are that desperate to play it that they will go to those lengths, then thats the fault of the player rather than the company, for having no self control and being weak-willed.

I'm going for the standard edition, skins are meaning to me and I may only want certain specific DLCs anyway and I'll buy those as and when they crop up.

This. The people voted for this with their wallets :o

Same reason we get ideas/stuff cut out of games for DLC purposes.

The customer chose to start paying for this a long time ago so it is now a part of gaming :(

lol.. DLC is new content, id rather have new content than have them release a game and move on

and nobody is forced into buying it.. but theyre not going to develop new stuff for games for free

its about choice.. i also cannot wait for this game to be release but im not going to pay to play a 10 hour demo.. nor will i pay a silly price to get it 3 days early. i preordered the standard edition back in june because i know i will play this game regardless of a bad launch just as i did with bf4 :)

Have you seen/played the new battlefront and battlefront games before that? There was no space battles in the base version and during all the hype/trailers, we were told that space battles hadn't been cut out of the game for DLC purposes, fast forward to death star dlc and surprise surprise, space battles.... Won't be surprised if we see a space galactic conquest game mode in the last dlc pack :o

They use to i.e. with bc 2 and new maps then Ea realised they were missing out on money so charged for veitnam, which in its own right was worth it given how different it was to the base game, puts all other dlcs to shame.

I played through bf 3 and 4 despite the issues at launch, however, had I known that it was going to release the way it did, I would not have pre-ordered and I wish the majority of other people didn't because DICE/EA might have actually fixed the game a heck of a lot quicker rather than 6 months down the line... they are extremely lucky that the player base came back... Also by still giving them money even if the game launches in a **** state, you are essentially giving them the thumbs up to do this "again"... unless you vote with your wallet, these companies will not learn from their mistakes and will continue to release game after game in a **** state :(

EDIT:

BTW I am not referring to ALL DLC as content/ideas being removed from the base game but unfortunately there are a few out there.

EDIT:

Hasn't a certain faction(s) or something been cut out of the base game for pre-order or DLC purposes?

havent seen or played any of the battlefront stuff, i didnt buy hardline either..

you said "There was no space battles in the base version and during all the hype/trailers, we were told that space battles hadn't been cut out of the game for DLC purposes, fast forward to death star dlc and surprise surprise, space battles"

but how does this mean they cut it out of the main game? surely they added it in as new content due to fan feedback... theres no way you can know really lol

i cant remember from the beta but were the factions weapons locked to their specific faction? if so i think thats why they will add new factions - so they can add their weapons in along with them

It's star wars, not having space battles in the base game is a sin! :p Especially when the previous game had it...

Obviously they hadn't developed the game modes & maps at the time of announcement/release but I have no doubt that they "withheld" those maps/game modes knowing fine well it would make for a good/popular DLC pack in the future. It makes perfect sense for financial reasons.

Also, the game only released with 4 maps and 4 or 6 game modes.... and that is **** poor considering how vast the star wars galaxy is.

In fact, wasn't it leaked for either BF or it might have been the division... a "planning board" for future DLC and the game hadn't even been released yet....
 
Yup only 4 maps for the main MP game mode :o IIRC, one map + one game mode was cut for pre-order deals.

There was a single/coop player but it was just a wave/survival round thing...

They have added an offline/bot mode for the MP game modes/maps now.
 
That campaign trailer was enough to make me pre-order. £37... Now question is, do I want a new GFX card (980) or not. I was able to play the beta at 3440x1440 with mostly max settings without issue, but I'm wondering what it would be like with everything up.

You have played BF3 and BF4 SP campaigns tho? If not :/
 
Out of interest any idea how my setup with the 7850 will play this?

Currently able to get a steady 60fps when V-Sync turned on in BF4 with high settings...not wanting to rush into a new gfx card if I could get away on maybe Medium settings??
