Blue Milk & Cereal: What Would You Like In A Collectors Edition Of TOR??

No day would be complete without the breakfast of Jedi: Blue Milk & Cereal.  Every morning, the team at Ask A Jedi will get Force-induced thoughts coursing through your head with delicious issues from around the galaxy! Join in the discussion below to make your voice heard!

As we found out earlier this week in BM&C, many of you are expecting the collector’s edition details and a release date as part of the announcements coming from BioWare at SDCC this week. The community has been buzzing over the last couple of days, as there is a huge amount of speculation currently present on the SW:TOR official forums. Even Stephen Reid, on his Twitter feed, had to make a remark about all the ongoing speculation on the forums with the following:

For those demanding answers: this the ‘wait’ part of ‘wait and see’. (And btw, no, I don’t need Polish/Spanish help, thx. :) )

This makes the wait even more intriguing and interesting! Collector’s editions of various games are always considered the ultimate versions of the game,  and are made with the hard-core fan in mind. Most of the time, these editions include a bunch of physical goodies likes art books, soundtracks, maps and other collectibles. In addition to that, especially in MMO games, a collectors edition usually gives players some unique in-game items that will set him apart from the crowd. Of course, most of the time these items are purely cosmetic – but they are really awesome to have nonetheless!

Personally – I am extremely excited for SSDC, regardless of what it will bring to us. If we do get some information on the collector’s edition and perhaps (gasp!) something about the mythical release date – this will take me to new levels of happiness and hopefully set me straight on which version of the game I will purchase. I also have complete faith in BioWare that they will make the CE worth it by including something that is awesome as both physical item(s), as well as an in-game item(s). So as Stephen Reid said himself – “wait and see!“.

What about you? What do you want to see in the collectors edition? Is there a particular item you’d like to see? Do you think you will be getting a collector’s edition? Let us know!

Will you buy the collector's edition of TOR?

  1. I voted other as one of the choices. The other would be nice, if CE is limited, to include a beta invite. Yes, I think that beta is really a serious testing phase, but even someone who is running & jumping around the game yelling, “I’m in beta!”, is giving testing data.

    That’s just my opinion :) Great poll question.

  2. Shapeless says:

    I’m hoping for an authenticator or an application on the Market or App Store.

    I never had my MMO account compromised, but I wouldn’t want it to happen. I had an authenticator for WoW, it just gave me piece of mind.

  3. One of 8 action figures depecting the playable classes. Ultima Online did this in one of their releases.

  4. I’m one of those fools who will by the Special Edition what-ever it has in it.. collectors issue I think. Would be cool if BioWare offered a great deal of things in their CE! :)

  5. Boy this is a great question. Do I go with the in game item or account security?

  6. If the supposed leaks turn our.to be true and you get farther malgus statue along with the stap mount, mouse droid, and exclusive vendor only for collectors it is well worth it. I’m keeping my finger crossed and I’m definantly am going to buy the collectors addition the early access is just a sweet cherry on top

  7. Wow! Great article guys i appreciate it. I was mentioning how the fansites backed off this topic in the forum but you proved to be real fans!

  8. MAPS!!! I want folding cloth maps! Give me 9 of them, double-sided, with one planet on each side, and the 9th one with a full galaxy map on one side. Ridiculous? Perhaps, but I miss my folding cloth maps with PC RPGs. And if anyone can give me that old school PC lovin’ it’s Bioware.

    Oh, neat stuff in game would also be nice, and an art book and soundtrack just for fun. But seriously, MAPS!
