The Star Was: The Old Republic alleged box art and Collector's Edition information have been leaked. According to a Polish website, the pre-order for SW:TOR, the new massively multiplayer online role playing game from Electronic Arts and BioWare will begin Thursday, July 21. Keep in mind that none of this has been confirmed, but according to the leaked image, the Collector's Edition will include:
- Exclusive Gentle Giant Darth Malgus statue
- Star Wars: The Old Republic game discs in collectible metal case
- The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural annotated by Satele Shan
- Old Republic galaxy map
- Custom Security Authentication Key (i.e. Authenticator)
- Exclusive Music of Star Wars: The Old Republic CD
- High-Quality Collector's Edition Box
The Collector's Edition will also include seven digital items:
- Flare Gun: Fire flares into the air
- Training Droid: Hovers at your side for combat assistance
- HoloDancer: Project your own holographic dancer
- HoloCam: Keep visual records of in-game adventures
- STAP: Sleek and unique in-game vehicle
- Exclusive Mouse Droid: Spun-ky droid to join your adventures
- Exclusive Collector's Edition Store: Unique in-game vendor with a dynamic assortment of items
The Collector's Edition is currently priced at 150 Euros, which would be about $220 USD. For more information on the Star Wars: The Old Republic Collector's Edition bonuses, and to check out the cover art for the game, check after the break.
It's also been stated that there will be a head start period for those who pre-order SW:TOR. Standard pre-orders will get a three day head start, while those who pre-order the Collector's Edition will get a six day head start.
We've reached out to EA for confirmation about the legitimacy of the images, and as soon as we hear back we'll give you an update. If the images prove to be legit, would you be willing to pony up over $200 for the Collector's Edition of SW:TOR?

two words: F$*$ NO! although i am really excited for this game and have been since 2008 there is no way in hell im going to shell 200$ for a book and 6" figurine the game itself and a fancy box. NOTY GTFO While i LOL
_Laughter
I doubt it will end up being $220. If it is i'll just have to find a way to convince my husband I need it. >.>

if they made the collectors edition the regular edition and gave you a life size, working x-wing fighter in the collectors edition they wouldn't even need a subscription fee

Hope the listing of details about the contents of CE are legit. The price? Dont care. haha I'll pay it... Looks pretty wicked.

What can I say, I've been waiting for this game for years, following its every move on SWTOR.com. While, $220.00 is not a practical price for me.. Ill admit I'll get it anyway - of coarse, I will have to hide this purchase from my girl friend, who already thinks I'm a super-nerd for even following this game like I have.. The sad thing is, shes right.

I would gladly pay 150 euro if it came with a life-time subscription like with Lord of The Rings Online. I want to play the game, not have fancy stuff in a package. So what's important with a price range like that is to get play time (for example life-time sub) and in-game exclusive options and items. They can keep the Malgus figurine and all that other stuff as far as I'm concerned.

i would pay that if i got a real light saber, other then that, ill get the regular standard edition :)

Before comments about pricing get out of hand, its important to note this is from a POLISH source and store, and in Poland they do not use the euro as currency, so that price point of 150 is not euros.

if this is true it is huge news is it? but this is all over ToR web sight and they saying noting more then "it may have been leaked"

I would def pay $220, yeah it is steep but all those in game items and a $100 statue and a 6 day head start!!
Hell I would pay $250. I do hope it retails for like $150 US, that is still more than any other collectors edition I can think of, but I will pay whatever they ask for that set. If you bought the set and ebayed all the stuff seperately youd make a nice profit, unless they produce way to many of the sets and they are like sitting on Bestbuy shelves 6 months later.
I hope since it looks to be so expensive they will make a very limited run and have them numbered. The only Blizzard CE that was numbered was Diablo II, and I love it all the more.

No. I would not pay that kind of price. It's stupid in this economy. No game is worth that amount.

Very expensive.80 euro for collectors sounds good anything more and it's overpriced plus ridiculous.

I am so looking forward to this game. However, the standard edition is for me. Unless of course that price comes down ALOT. My wife would kill me if I spent that much on a friggin' video game, no matter how awesome it looks to be.
