Another way for EA to grab more money...

Going to try and round up all the prices to show which is best, if anybody finds any more feel free to add to my list:

GAME: Standard £39.99 CE £129.99

Play: Standard £39.99 CE Unknown

Amazon: Standard £34.71 CE Unknown

I hate game!! plus have an account with Amazon!

Cant Amazon and Play will not stock the CE

Think I might wait for release day, and grab it from a brick & mortars place! Just because I haven't done that in years, and it should be a bit more exciting .

the Swtor website says they will both stock the CE, maybe they are just in the process of updating their websites? Plus if you don't mind waiting a bit longer getting the CE from Amazon.com(US) is a whole lot cheaper(about 30 quid cheaper than GAME)

 

[niroe]

£130 for CE .. Is it April 1st?

I'll stick with the Standard.

Yeah cheers mate, I read this morning that both Amazon and Play will stock it, just can’t understand why they don’t have it up yet?

So if you buy the CE/standard copy you will not get a email with the code? Do you have to wait for the box to arrive? I guess you only get the code straight away is if you buy the digital copy from Origin?

 

[Efour]

130 quid for a collectors edition!! heheeh jeeeeeeeeeesus :O nice but not for me...

 

[Rhaos]

Just pre-ordered Standard Edition from Play.com. I did want the CE but can't justify spending £130 on any game.

I wonder when we'll get our early access codes?

I'm not totally sure as I refuse to buy 'til they give us more info(Like a release date). However I believe they send you an email containing your pre-order code that will let you in to Headstart(whenever that is) and then whent eh game releases you will need your box which will contain your retail key.

I might be wrong so can anybody who has bought it say if this is right or not?

Ordered the standard from Amazon and got code via email instantly for the early access. Registered it on swtor.com and:


You registered your Pre-Order code on July 21, 2011 and now are registered for the following items:

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Standard Edition Pre-Order
Early game access
Color Stone (Virtual Item)

We will keep you informed about early access to The Old Republic as we get closer to the game's release.

Don't play solo! Tell your friends you've pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic on Facebook or Twitter!

And to think that some politicians would have us believe there is a credit crunch, not fooling me Mr Politician !

Didn't realise non origin pre-orders still got early access, looks like i will be pre-ordering then! Do they take the money straight away on Amazon? Or on release?

Does the website not work correctly for anyone else? I wanted to check out the price of the colletors edition but the 'pre-order now' but doesn't do anything when clicked. I Tried to find the price on other sites but the only palce I could see it was game but the have it for £130, which is just silly. Even the SWG collectors edition wasn't that expensive and it came in a leather case with gold leaf lettering.

+1

Plus there's no point me pre-ordering anyway is there

 

[LateX'Dog]

Come on OCUK, you did so well with Rift, why are you guys not stocking it!?

 

[stooeh]

I think they take payment on release, you certainly can cancel it at anytime up to then.

I've just tweeted somebody in Turkey who bought the CE edition from Amazon.com, if they confirm they get the a code straight away I'm going to buy from there. It works out £94 quid

100% agree!

They could have made a good little packet on the standard and CE editions.

Ordered . I assume the delivery choice doesn't really matter, should be able to download the client etc. on the day of release with the code yeah?

My friend sold his original sealed world of warcraft collectors edition for £850 a while back. You can get £1000 + for them now! Will see how this one goes and if it really is a collectors edition. If it is I'll keep my 2 and sell one at a later date. If it's not then I'll cancel one and keep the other. Thing is with early access keys if you're not too fussed about them you can sell them for a fair bit of money. I sold a Star Trek beta key I think for £20 and the collectors edition was only £40.
