I didnt say in the uk. I meant 100,000 globally, or is the CE only sold in the UK?

No worldwide!

Well Most of Europe and the US. I heard our friends in Oz, NZ and some eastern European countries haven’t been able to buy the game at all

The price isn't the same globally.

 

[Tombstone]

The price isn't the same globally.

I'm sure it isnt, its probably close enough though. My numbers were meant as examples rather than numerically accurate for dissection. It was meant as indication rather than precision. As you are seemingly more in the know than I , what would you say is an accurate average price, globally speaking, by which to multiply by 100,000?

Yeah I've heard that some of those down under are not happy bunnies

I think I can live without a STAP anyway

 

[MrKeeno]

Very quick question guys. Am I right in thinking that my card will only be charged £5 if I pre order with origin and then the remaining balance when the full game can be downloaded?

Cheers

From what i understand, yes that will be the case.

Its an amazing amount of revenue when you think about it, if 100,000 CEs are bought , thats £13 million straight off the bat.

Haven't they already spent over 100 million anyway? Will take them a while just to start making a profit.

"For those who have pre-ordered the Base Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition of Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, Head Start access will begin three days prior to the release of the game.

For people who have pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition, the Head Start access will begin seven days before the game’s official release.

Head Start will end on the day that Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is released. However, as a courtesy to our pre-order customers, you will be given an additional five days after the game’s launch to purchase Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and redeem a game code.

If there is a delay in entering your code due to your retailer being unable to provide one immediately, it will not affect your entitlements as outlined above

Not sure if above is true.

Ordered my CE this morning in work on the bog lol dint want to miss out

Not sure , I've heard everything from 50 million to 300 million.

If that is true that is bs. Okay so you have paid more but surely everybody who pre-orders deserves to get into head-start at the same time, rather than having a 2 tiered system favouring those who want to pay more.

Sadly if that is anything to go by then micro-transactions could be quite a big part of this game...

As the song says...

"Money talks, uh-huh, money talks"..

 

[Goberpiles316]

Paid for the £40 version not over happy at the cost but has to be done.

 

[Jokester]

Ok, I've re-pre-ordered it, when do I get my redeemable code thing?

Depends on where you preorder it from :/

Collector's Edition

Thought I might get an email.

Do non of you feel slightly bummed with the price and the fact that they are pretty much for ing you to buy now to be able to get early access. From the outside this seems the OTT hyPe machine for a game which in beta has generally not sounded anything special.

Genuine question I'm not trying to take the piddle. I may still try this but it will be well after launch, have doubts about the game itself but can see launch week being a nasty mess.

Yep £40 is higher than I imagined, but its Star Wars and its an MMO... I'll get over my "omg its overpriced" mood! And mmo launches are always nasty messes, at least the ones i've played have been lol.
