The Old Republic Collectors Edition

If this isn't your first MMO like me, you might remember back to some of your past MMO's and remember the great days of being a newbie. When everything seemed liked a adventure, your would team up with people and feel like a king! You would then run in to some one who had a Collectors edition and they would be showing off their cool sun glasses in SWG or awesome mini pet in WOW. You would ask them how you could get this awesome item and they would tell you to get a collectors edition. Then you would run on to e-bay and find out it costs half a grand! But when it first came out it was only a few extra hours at work.

Well this time it won't be me who misses out! That it one of the reasons why I have pre ordered the collectors edition. If SWTOR is going to be as awesome as it is meant to be, it will be a great investment. If it flops it won't be great but this is the risk in the MMO industry now days. In all honesty I have not played a MMO for at least 2 years now after hearing about SWTOR and due to this I am willing to risk it. Plus BioWare and StarWars cannot be a bad combination.

So the The Old Republic Collectors Edition costs £129 or $150 which is a horrible exchange rate for us Brits! Wishing I could buy a US version.... But never mind that!

You get the standard game in costing £40
Gentle Giant Darth Malgus statue which has rumored to be valued at around £60
Already you can see you have £100 worth of value.

Custom Security Authentication key - The amount of times I was hacked as a WOW player... or friend would use my account when I didn't say they could and mess everything up. Stopping this from happening has to be worth it's weight in credits.

Old republic Galaxy map - This would be nice to have a good look at and maybe turn into a poster above my computer, so I can use it as inspiration when leveling!

The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural - This will be interesting to read and gain more background knowledge on what is being said here.

Music of Star Wars : The Old Republic CD - I always like a good bit a classical music to chill me out and as it relates to StarWars even better, this is going on my Iphone for sure!

I will be honest the Map, Journal, Music plus state doesn't really interest me but I can always stick these back on e-bay and get some money back. Hopefully quite a bit if demand is short in the future. (All depending on if SWTOR is a hit or not)

Lastly we have the in game items, both Mouse Droid and Collectors Edition store.

Back when I played WOW I collected mini pets and not being able to get hold of a mini pet for my collection sucked really bad. After looking up the some of the WOW collectors editions and being out raged at the price in which people extort the supply and demand. I will never miss out on a Collectors Edition again!

The in-game store may be only Vanity items but it might be a supply of the most awesome stuff, or it could be full of really useful items, we will have to wait a find out.

In my opinion the CE is well worth the extra cash you have to pay. A few months down the line people may as me were I got my awesome mini pet (Maybe the only one in-game!?!) and they will have missed their chance.

You can find the collections edition at Amazon
