Star Wars The Old Republic is now Available For Pre-Order..!
That’s right folks, and in case you missed it, you can now pre-order SW:TOR! After jumping through my a$$ here at work (game sites are blocked – imagine that!) and going through the painful process of ordering and registering my account code via iPhone, I am now the proud owner of the SW:TOR Digital Deluxe Edition. I think the total for it was like $83… a bit steep if you ask me, but hey… it’s STAR WARS man! That being said though, as much as I love Star Wars and MMO’s in general, I just couldn’t bring myself to pony up the $150 they wanted for the CE edition. Not that it would’ve mattered anyway since, at least on Origin’s site the CE version was already SOLD OUT. Cr@Zy!
Did anyone else hear/read anything about an actual release date? A buddy told me that he had heard/read NOVEMBER 15TH….
Edit: While looking around at the other vendors offering SW:TOR pre-orders, I noticed this on the Amazon site:

Sooo…. is this another “accidental” slip up on the part of an online retailer? Or just a “guess” by someone entering the data?
I was in beta and loooooooooved what I saw however I’ll be waiting to buy it from a regular shop. If that means losing out on a head start etc then thats the price I’ll pay oh and the pricing is shocking btw, hope the subscription fee isnt as inflated.
I’m jealous about the Beta thing!
Why the wait to buy it from a local store my brother?
And yeah, given the pricing of the CE I also wondered if the monthly subscription fee would also be inflated.
I just cant be bothered with downloading from orgin or waiting on a delivery.I’ll be buying from my local shop and hope it is a bit cheaper…… yup im a tight ass
Everyone assumes the monthly fee will be $15 a month, but you know what they say about assuming….
Yeah, I’m not holding my breath. Something tells me it won’t be the standard $15/mo…
