Thread: CE Question

    CE Question

    There is a small computer shop in my equally small hometown that is selling a sealed CE of SWTOR for 45 bucks. This seems incredibly cheap and I've been wanting to give the game a serious try since the restrictions in the current F2P model kind of put me off, I know you guys may be biased, but would you recommend grabbing it and I'm going to assume that it comes with one free month of gameplay, is that correct? Thanks in advance.

    It's worth a price that low, though most places marked it down to $30 to get rid of them. Just for the physical items it's a good deal. It should come with a month free, but don't quote me on that since they've gone F2P. It does make your account preferred and comes with an authenticator as well.

    Well..... I frankly loved the CE box... but apart from the statue, the authenticator and the story book, there is not yet this much ingame for CE owners. I remember myself thinking what Bioware would CE owner let purchase from the CE area and it was kinda underwhelming. However they seem to want to add more stuff so.... well but 30 or 45 bucks, I could think of worse ways to spend this kind of money.

    That is 'important' at this moment yeah. I would say that for the big box you will recieve, it surely is worth it. The nice Darth Malgus statue, which I keep dusting off.
    I'd say, go grab it. It's worth it for 45 bucks (most paid around 150 for it, if I'm not mistaken)

    everytime I look at my darth malgus statue I cry...my cleaning lady broke the saber while cleaning, tried to make it look like she didnt...then denied it when I asked her about it...new cleaning lady! I got tired of trying to fix it so now I just do FE runs and everytime I finish malgus off by pushing over I just knock my statue off the desk.

    haha amazing, I love it. My Malgus is still standing strong on top of my book shelf.

    if it's the full CE 45 is worth it just for the statue .

    the F2P is CRAZY restrictive, but you can get by if all you want to do is try out the storylines (I recommend SI and IA, both cool)

    I don't know the point of this post. Its 3 unique ones, out of a total of 48. The other 45 can be obtained by everyone where as the 3 from the CE vendor can't.

    I am pretty sure if you buy one of the boxed copies still floating around (a new one not a resale mind you) you still get a month of "sub status" for free. You'll still have to input cc info when you create the account but you should still be able to cancel immediately after.
