Digital upgrade pack?!?!?!

I CANNOT BELIEVE, that suddenly the items only obtainable from the pre-order are now up for grabs. Like... is there any concept of loyalty or any restriction of greed? Bioware no longer exists, its like a snakeskin now... looks similar but its just a discarded piece of worthless ****!

Yeah it kinda sucks..

I was a pre-order and I'm sure bioware stamped all over it ONLY OBTAINABLE ONCE.

Seriously! Plus, it's ONLY $4.99!! What kind of crap is this?!

The Digital Upgrade Pack has been around for quite some time... I believe my wife and I upgraded our standard copies using it less than a week after the game was released. Might've been slightly longer, but no more than a month.
Admittedly, we paid 14.99 for it back then, bringing the price of our standard editions up to the same as the Digital Deluxe versions (which is where all the bonus items come from, not from pre-order). There was even an amount of bonus coins granted to those of us who bought the pack prior to F2P. Not sure what all the drama is about really... are you only just finding out about it being available now?

The DDE was about 60-75 bucks when the game first came out. If you think about it, a new game or expansion comes average around 60 bucks, plus your month of game time is in there, 15 dollar value, and then all the little in game toys, for another 5. We got it earlier then the rest, and it's clearly not selling anymore which is why they just dropped the price of the items to 5 bucks. It's exactly like it is on the GTN, when something first comes out, its expensive, give it time, it cheapens. Next time hold on to your money if your going to be angry when the price drops later.

Translation:

"I gots it furst! No one else can haz it!! Itz mine!!! My ownz!!!! MY............PPPREEECIOUSSSSSSSssssssssssss!!!!!"

And then, the pot called the kettle black.

This exactly. I remember back in the day when I bought a game then the expansion. Then that company made the two available together and it was cheaper than what I paid for just one of them. I was so damn angry I stomped all around my house. I threw my wife's favorite vase on the ground. Then she grounded me and told me to go to my room and I said NO! The anger sharks are swimming even now just thinking about it. I mean how on earth do some things get cheaper with time it makes no sense!!!11!!!!!

Welcome to the trickle-down economy.

They release a product, wait until sales drop, then drop the price. You see this everywhere. The prices of the Xbox 360 and PS3 were not the same after a year. They drop the price. Why? Because the financial segment of our society with lots of disposable income bought them. Then sales dropped when they stopped selling at the first price, so they drop it down for the next financial segment of our society, and so on over the years. We see this happen with many products you can purchase from stores.

Its not EAware's fault you had the disposable income to buy it when it first came out, and couldn't wait a few months for a price drop, which inevitibley happens with many PC games, MMO or not.

Sarcasm?

Caused me to crack a smile.

It has always been available, from day one until now as the "Digital Deluxe" version, you could buy it from this site or on Origin for around $7.95 as an upgrade, I did it when I bought the game in Feb and my brother recently as well about 6 weeks back. - It does not give you access to the Collectors Edition vendor or those perks.

it was never limited, don't let your urge to rage about everything blind you to the facts before you enter 'table flipping' mode.
