The VIP lounge will undoubtedly get more "stuff". And it will be the same with the CE vendor.
Everything else included are just trinkets or free stuff that you would have to pay credits for.


I never expect the ingame extras to be anything other than virtual fluff. People payed an extra $20 just for a useless pet in WoW.

At least you can use the crystal, the vehicle, and the flare gun.



I'm very happy with my CE and DDE purchases.

LOL that wasn't terribly terribly, TERRIBLY obvious how useless those items were, even WHEN they said what they do....?

I got my standard edition...

*smokes cigar*.

Also, COMPLETELY agree with you on the color crystal part though...
while(horse.State == dead)
{
horse.beat();

My flare gun alone was worth the extra 20 bucks. Because it acts like a real flare that shoots high in the sky.



P.S You shouldn't fire flare guns indoors anyway, its generally considered bad form by most. Gets the fire department to earn their pay though.

I'm thinking about e-baying my CE and getting a regular edition.

Fluff I would have gladly paid for if it was as advertised. Thats the whole point behind the thread, is the items are not what was expected.

Also, I was expecting a boxy mouse droid, not a roomba.

Edit: And especially not a roomba that doesn't stealth with you, is attackable by mobs and also pulls aggro while trying to stealth past things.

I guess you learned your lesson; "deluxe" and "collector's edition" versions are useless crap designed to steal money from gullible customers

this is nothing new, believe me

Learn and next time order standard edition unless the deluxe offers some really good items. Even if it's unique to that edition, it's not worth money if it's crap. And it's not like YOU are unique since 2 in 4 people have the deluxe edition...
this guy gets it

I disagree, you already have a slight edge in the game when most games give nothing but cosmetic stuff for preorder bonuses. It's good enough. You didn't buy a shortcut to everything, you get some stuff that costs quite a few credits in game, and cosmetically can't be found anywhere else, what else can u ask for?

If you didn't have money as you say, you should have bought the standard edition. I'm sure if you're tight in budget you can't afford to buy a load of cosmetic and slightly useful items for 20 dollars.
