arunav Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Was wondering what people thought about getting the collector's edition now for $30, basically $15 since it come with a month's worth of game time. Without knowing how much cartel currency will cost to purchase, and not knowing what will be available, do you think it's worthwhile to get a collector's edition? I don't see myself really getting much out of what comes with the box, why I did not get it in the first place, so it would be primarily for the extra cartel currency for $15.

Darth-Rammstein Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm actually kind of irritated that people are getting such a bargain for the CE and still get the 1k cartel coins that the people who paid $150 get....oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree in principle, it is what it is, one CE key won't be differentiated from another. It's a real shame the game did not maintain subscribers, and I think that's something we can all agree on. All that being said, do people think a CE is worth the cartel coins, without knowing what will be in the shop and for how much? I'm hesitant to get one. On the other hand, it is available at a local store for $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be getting an exclusive droid, armour set and tauntaun, in addition to the coins and month of subscription. Who knows, if f2p turns out to be sucessful it might be worth something some day.

Gwena Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) IMHO it is a pretty good deal, but if you have absolutely no interest in the in-game items, CE store access, security key, or the physical items, I am doubtful that the cartel coins alone will make it "worth it" for you.

Camdenvv Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If you ask me its worth the $30 for the CE because the statue itself is worth that in my opinion, plus you get the cartel coins, in-game vendor, and other nice things for just the low price of $30. (And the CE gets somthing special at the launch of F2P according to Bioware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styxx Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It wasn`t worth THEN and it certainly isn`t worth now. Because 15 or 30$ is a bit too steep for 1000 CC. I suspect you will get about 3000 or 5000 with that money. Then again.. I might be awfully wrong about the cost of CC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shingara Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The copies in Europe are still €114.95.... Game has them for £29, finding a store with one in stock is a different matter all together, also isnt there a cut off for the CE giving points.

I suspect you will get about 3000 or 5000 with that money. Then again.. I might be awfully wrong about the cost of CC... I calculated a while back that 1000 coins was worth ~$25. That is an estimate, as we won't know for sure until they tell us what the actul sales prices of coins is. If coins turn out to be a lot cheaper then I estimated, then that $ estimate goes down. Worst case is probably ~ $10 equivalent value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i "remember" the CE was SOLD OUT before release so, I guess BW/EA had a stock pile to unload or more were made. Either way you cant tell me that Gamestop or Frys had these sitting around.

I remember people were scrambling to find CE's because they were "limited" and "exclusive" Guess EA had more hoarded in a warehouse somewhere that they needed to dump.

Alavastre Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 $30 bucks for CE is a great deal. I mean at $150 it was shaky, until the new rewards were announced. But $30 is a steal. Even if you don't factor in the Cartel Coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshua Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 if you get the CE for 30$ it is really only 15$ coz you get 1 month free game time with the upgrade, even if you had the dde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE you also get a free month so its like $5 really in that case. You dont have to leave your house either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
