According to someone on the Swtor forums the normal edition is priced at $59.99 which works out about £37 which doesn't seem too bad.

Compared to the Betacake screenshots, i have a feeling that Captain didn't have the game maxed out.

If you did, then there is some massive inconsistencies between the betacake shots and yours.

It has been said that Betacake only show the ones that show SWTOR in a positive light soo..

 

[LateX'Dog]

Maxed out with every option available.

So (not trying to call you out here) do you have an idea as to why your screenshots look so vastly different then the ones that Betacake are posting?

The Coruscant ones looked incredible.

Who said that?

Weren't you the person who had issue with the first install not showing all textures/bugged textures/missing..low res everywhere?

If so, maybe it hasn't all been sorted.

I have to disagree, I think Betacake have shown everything that has been given to them and more!

Why would they hold back?

 

[Monkeymatt]

Who said that?

It was CaptainRAVE himself who said it:

Don't read too much into beta cake. They are very selective about what they post and only post the screenshots that show TOR in a good light. It makes me wonder who actually runs that site.

No worries, today is the last day of the test anyway, but I stopped playing a couple of weeks ago.

If testing finished today, I'm sure we going to see a lot more game play vids and screenshots.

According to this which is supposedly from a French store, a standard edition is going to be 61.99(~£55) and a collectors edition is 174.99(~£154) If that is true, I don't think I'll be getting the game at all.

EDIT: Pre-orders expected to start tomorrow.

Surely not??? £55 for a normal game?? Thats almost twice the price of a standard PC game, and then monthly payment on top of that?? If anything because it has a monthly payment the original box should be cheaper than a normal PC game rather than more expensive.

I pre-ordered with game @£32.99 - had two emails since saying its gone to £34.99 then £39.99 but as i pre-ordered at 32.99 that's what i'll pay!

 

[Sleepery]

Wow, there's no way I'm paying €62 for it!

 

[Gazanimal]

These two seem really cheap, I got the clues for all the others except these 2(Also as OcUK don't stock it I think you might be allowed to talk about them directly) could you give me some more hints? I would like to get the game as cheaply as pos. thanks.

 

[Jokester]

I preordered it from Play for £29.99 last year.

I thought it was on there, but it's obviously done a disappearing act to appear again at a higher price I suspect.

The 2nd one there's £35.86... The first one I've never heard of or used... are they reliable??
