    Special editions

    There is a 149.99 and a 99.99 edition available. Is there any info on the contents of either?
    Thanks in advance

    They have not talked about Collector Editions yet . I think there will be. They had it when Rift was release.

    Do you not think special editions are a rip off. Sure it's nice to get something with the game but when it comes to five or six months down the road and every one else can get the add on etc on special offer, like half price.

    Well both are available to reserve as of now is the only reason I ask, and personally I think in the past there are some collector editions that included enough extra content that it validated the price. However, what I would deem as valid you may not so I guess we agree to disagree here

    Generally speaking, most games on pre order have 3 prices, 149(ish), 99(ish) and 59(ish). The highest price usually includes some sort of special physical swag, posters, a statue/figurine, etc, hard copies of the game, and everything the other two have. The middle priced copy usually is listed as the digitial deluxe(or something similer), that includes a bunch of in game swag (special mount, fireworks and other "hey look" goodies), as well as special access to certain specialy areas/venders. The lowest price is the basic game that will only be available for roughly 4-8 months after release that usually doesnt include any special swag, in game or otherwise.

    Bear in mind, this is what the "standard" gaming marketing plan is for most companies, not saying that this is how it is here, but gives those not MMO savvy an idea of what the normal marketting is. As for actual details in the differant prices are, no clue, but if they have any of the full size futuristic weapons props, I'm all in!

    Every now and again closer to launch the 60 pre order will have some kind of perk or incentive in there

    I guess I should have searched before creating my own thread about this topic. My bad!

    I am a sucker for collectors.editions but it needs to give me something other than in-game stuff which usually.loses its uniqueness pretty fast. Look at SwTOR GW 2 with the amazing sculpts. I would hope that a hellbug sculpture would be included!

    And maybe some behind the scene footage of the series that is bound to show up on the.season 1 DVD. Would be a really nice thing to have early.

    That actually brings up another good point. We can actually get swag for the show through the game! probably vica-versa
