    as a CE owner myself i could careless if everybody has access to the lounge, its just like a nightclub.You got the cover charge come on in, BUT I did pay the CE price for the vendor and think that it should STAY CE because THATS what i paid the extra money for could careless bout the statue(but do want the journal and soundtrack). to give access to everybody would make my purchase meaningless.

    Just because you placed the value of the $90 extra dollars on digital trinkets you could hold over other people dosn't mean that's actually what all that money went towards.
    I am sorry but when BW put Exclusive Collector’s Edition Store up on their Pre-Order FAQ THATS the reason why I ordered the CE edition. If you did not want the CE edition then you did not want access to the CE store. I as stated in a earlier post I could careless bout the physical stuff i PAID for the CE STORE, if everybody els did not then dhey do not have right to the store.

    ou guys want into the Lounge GO FOR it from some screens i saw it looks awsome to hang out in, but leave the CE STORE out of it. you did not pay for it you do not get it.

    To all those stating they couldn't care less about all the other goddies in the CE, and purely bought for the VIP lounge and vendor, I propose you this:

    Sell your extra collectables online to people who WANT them. Guess what, you can easily mitigate the cost of CE over the digital exclusive easily, and STILL have the vendor all to your self!

    I can care less about the lounge even being in the game, the only reason people by CE copies of any game is to get the unique vanity items that you given or able to get in the game ... if you didnt want to get the CE or DD edition of the game for the vanity items why do many people feel like they need to just magically make it available to those who would of much rather purchase the game at regular price?
    Get your facts straight before trying to jump someone.

    Collector’s Edition Store. At launch the Collector’s Edition Store will be available to those who have the Collector’s Edition of The Old Republic, and will feature items found nowhere else in the game! The Collector’s Edition will be stocked with exclusive social items for yourself, and unique appearances for your companion. The store will also have regular updates to give players incentive to keep coming back.

    I bought the CE and I'm perfectly okay with this. I didn't buy it to show off to anyone else, I bought it for me. By the time the game has been out for a couple of months to a year, most will have moved passed the awe of the VIP lounge any way. I know I probably won't even step foot in there.

    Meh, I don't care about the Vip lounge or the supposed Vip lounge vendor (different from the CE vendor) that is there. As long as the vendor stays exclusive, it's all good.

    The way I see it, Bioware could go two ways:

    1. Reward the loyal CE customers by never allowing others to buy (real world money) into the CE vendor, thus increasing the incentive to order a CE.

    2. Allow the DDE and SE customers to buy the store with real world money because there is a lot of interest in it and that would generate a nice revenue stream.

    If it is #1, my CE purchase would have even more value to me, because it would make the CE store items rare and 'collectible'.

    If it is #2, Bioware would be able to justify putting more dev time into producing content for the store and would increase the amount of things I could purchase.

    As long as Bioware doesn't just give access to the CE store away for a nominal fee, let people purchase the store separate from the CE.

    Pff some CE elitist scrubs on all forums :/

    I wish I could afford the CE. Not because of the vendor or lounge area. But what is inside the box. True SW fans bought CE to support the game and the physical items beacuse those are the items you can proudly display on your collection. Wannabe SW fans bought it for the sparkly ingame cosmetic items beacause they can flex their e-peens.

    Wait I'm a bit confused.

    I preordered a long time ago, so yea.

    The Digital Deluxe Edition, what's that? Is that the $60 box? Or was there something in between the normal $60 box and the CE? And DDE people get this lounge thing too?

    Edit: Nevermind, I just think I realized that "Digital" Deluxe Edition means the people who bought it off Origin. Am I right or what?
    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    The Digital Deluxe Edition( DDE) is the $80 downloadable option between the standard edition and the CE. It does not get the VIP room.

    Nifty comparison chart - http://buy.swtor.com/us/

    No it doesn't.

    The VIP lounge comes with the CE only. Anyone else can get a bracelet by paying 1M credits to get access to the room only, but only CE owners can use the vendor inside it.

    Really It's on their site if you look at the link. Only the CE comes with access to the VIP area.

    Both CE and DDE owners can get to the VIP lounge

    Digital Deluxe Edition gives acces to the VIP Lounge, but not the Vendor.

    Just look at the picture in the first post like RevanSparda said, you'll see you're wrong.

    Now, if they had given a free 1 million with the digital deluxe I'd of bought it, but honestly access to a silly lounge people? I'm amazed by how upset some people can get over something so trivial. If anyone bought the CE just for the lounge I pity the fool.

    There's a dev post that says only CE owners will get access to the vendors.

    Myeh, as a CE preorder, I'm actually very happy that other people will be getting into the lounge. This is mostly because my GF who I plan to play with, did NOT order the CE, but has an amazing ability to make stupid amount of money fast in MMO's... I don't ask how she does it.. I think it's best I don't know...

    But now she'll be able to join me while I chill in the lounge all good in the hood.

    And here are two little posts on the official forums, by a calm poster:

    NO where in either OFFICIAL (I stress that) does it say the lounge is exclusive.

    Look none of the advertisements are wrong ... OH well. Keep being bothered by the most infinitesimally small detail about a CE of a video game
