No, you're adding descriptions where there is none. A camera is a camera. A camera is a video camera. I knew it was for caps, not sure why others didn't.

Doing screen caps also takes a lot less room than videos. I could imagine the screaming if it was a video camera putting hundreds of megs of files on systems.

Yeah right...

Holo by the way is short for Holographic, "virtual".

Did you really expect preorder items to be worth the money? Most of my friends that bought it new the items would suck they just wanted a physical copy with the goodies... I didn't have the money for the deluxe edition... but if I had I would have still gone standard...

I wasnt actually fooled by BioWare about the Training Droid. But the STAP is extremely disappointing. Yes its a Pre-Order Item. But its intended for in-game use..Not just aesthetics. Im not expecting the thing to be super-duper faster then everyone elses mount at 25. But it be nice if I actually felt that the STAP was a better choice rather then running the entire map.

I'm not usually into complaining about preorder gunk but I have to agree,
if I'd known just how ridiculous the DDE items were I would have saved the money and just pre-ordered the normal one.

I was mainly bothered that I couldn't choose the color of the pre-order crystal, and that it looks terrible. That said, I only bought standard edition, so it's not like I paid extra for it.

Someone seems to be getting a little touchy. No offense but at this point you sound like something has upset you personally about my request. I never asked for a refund either. I'm still rather happy with my CE edition but you just go on and jump to conclusions don't you? Yes there's orange crafted armor from players and yes there's pieces you can buy from various vendors.

The thing is those don't give you unique looks. There's players that, since they play light armored characters, are able to have unique looks whereas us heavy armor characters are stuck with the normal looking gear everyone else has access too. The Light Armor players can wear the CE gear instantly allowing people to recognize, just by looking at them, that they have the CE while also being useful from level 29-50.

I ask only for the same treatment as a heavy armor user. Also the random pieces from vendors usually aren't full sets. I haven't seen full set purchasable from vendors when it comes to heavy armor. There's random pieces that, usually, don't even look right when you miss-match them together.

It's odd that the CE seems to cater more towards users with light armor. Heck, there's more Khem Val costumes than any other companion costume imperial side. I'll be using quite a bit of stuff on my inquisitor in the store.

Why? It's faster than sprint. I'd dare say it's faster than most MMO mounts.

Why people are defending this sort of behavior is beyond comprehension.
Because no one can account for what EVERYONE comprehends. It's impossible. Legal documents are prepared specifically to be airtight and yet attorneys can reinterpret them and find loopholes

Get over yourself, realize nothing incorrect was said and move on. Just because you guys spent extra money for something that turned out differently than you expected and you feel foolish does not mean a business should refund your money

Now that I won't argue with.

The Yellow/Black is ugly.

But again, past lvl 20 it's useless anyway.
