I won't physicaly go and stop people from buying this crap.
People CAN chose to buy it or not, I just thought some people would realise that paying 100$ for some plastic or metal statue crafted in china by children, that has a real material value of 1$ to 4$, doesn't really make them happier but only satisfy their greed.

The same reason GW2 is OVERhyped....they are new. the draw for me is because it is Star Wars and Bioware.
I ordered mine. Just because it's not worth it to you doesn't mean it's not worth it to others.
Also, I broke out the pricing in the other thread, it's really not that inflated if you break it down.
So acording to you that means...?
Anyway bioware ? star wars? meh
This. Bioware has extremely successful games and Star Wars is Star Wars.
I say Bioware + Star Wars = WOOOOOOOOOOT!
** Deleted : Wrong thread **
Yeah I'm sure Amazon is just saying they are sold out.
Ssecondly don't criticize others for posting their exasperation at chicken little posters who scream "the sky is falling, the sky is falling".
I'm not buying it because it cost too much. I'll simply buy the standard version on a digital download. I don't need to have the box sitting in my room. I have my world of warcraft box sitting in here and it is in the way taking up space. I want to throw it out tbh.

I completely agree with what you're saying and trying to do by making this thread, but it's like screaming at a wave to stop... =
If you value a cheap piece of plastic or metal at 80$ yes it might be worth it, might look nice on your counter. You might as well go to a dolar store and buy some toy and call it your unique collector edition toy.
I think that would make more sense.

I bought the CE today so damn hard, my credit card company called and asked if everything was ok.
What I dont understand is why people come on here complaining about how much it costs to get the collectors edition. If you cant afford it, then dont get it. Get the regular copy and be about your business. They arent going to give this game away so every tom, dick and harry can get the CE. Yea, I could have used that money to buy something else but this is the kind of stuff I like to spend MY money on. Why does anyone care on this forum about what other people do with their money? Newsflash, it isnt your money. Hell, if I want to wipe my ass with $150 and flush it down the toilet thats my business.
Will you feel like you missed out on the VIP Lounge and Vendor?

And if the economy crashes tomorrow I could have 3 pairs of jeans and a new set of boots to go out and kill me some dinner. Oh wait, I'd need to know how to shoot and have a gun and bullets and a safe place.
Will your car help you with that? Will your mortgage? Will your insurance? Like it or not, nothing in this world is necessary minus food and sleep. Everything else is up to the person involved.

Well, if you break down most things you will find that when looked at under another economy they might not be worth what you think they are.
Go look at all the Washing Machines made in mexico. Heck, look at your own washing machine and see where it was made. I guarantee that if it was made in mexico or china then you paid quite a bit more for it than what you think. Same with your TV. If you own one. yet you don't actually need a washing machine. Or a TV.
I pay $75 a piece for theater tickets. usually for two (can't make a date pay for her ticket! If I invited her that is!)
Tell me how often do you do that? or maybe you don't because you dont' think it's worth it or you just aren't interested.
I won't deny that there is a certain materialsm to the whole thing. Does one really need a statue? No matter what the cost?
Then again, I like Hugo Boss shirts because they are made far better than what I find at Sears or Macy's. Still, they are very expensive when compared to the average dress shirt. And maybe less where they are made. whereever that is.
I could go with a Sears' dress shirt but I dont' like how it feels nor do I like the stitching. Of course you might not be able to tell the difference (other than the Hugo Boss shirt has a much cooler collar - in my opinion). Yet I make that choice because it's worth it.
still, you might take care of that car of yours, give it better tham regular gas, maybe even take it to be cleaned once per week. Yet I think the entire thing is a waste of money.
We all have our material limits.
The problem here is that if I was to walk into your life I might find some of your money decisions ridiculous. You would probably do the same with me. I'm sure we could point at each other all night and laugh ourselves hoarse.

When u look at whats in the ce. Its more then the statue. U get the statue of darth malgus, u get 111 page ghost gnall's journal with pics never before seen u get acdess to an in game store. U get flare gun, a droid for combat help there are a few in game and a few out of game goodies.
Combine that with the fact the reg game is 60 and its well worth the extra 90 dollars. That said i only orderd the standard digital because thats all i wanted or can afford.
If i could of afforded it id of gladly bought the ce but i couldnt and for those that can good for u. its not up to anyone to tell anyone else what to buy or not to buy. Its up to us to make our own decision.
Mine was to go for just the standard game. I dont see why this even matters to anyone at all.

Who says it won't make them happier you? God you have a inflated ego as another poster said get over yourself. Does holding on to a peice of paper with markings on it (money) make one happier? For some possibly. If your gonna talk greed and try and say your taking the high road isn't there perhaps more important causes to champion? Poverty, Child labor, Animal cruelty, starvation? Nope your out to save people from buying a CE. No ones being mind controlled, and you trying to tell people what they should or should not spend their money on, or what will or will not make them happy just showes you to be the biggest hypocrit of them all.
I Don't understand this thread. I just spent 300 bucks on coke and a hooker..I think it was worth it..
This made me laugh.
Anyways, it will be fun to see if the CE will be back in stock. A lot of people don't think so.
Probably that vendor.. Not exactly sure about the other thing. VIP lounge?
I probably wont keep playing the game anyhow. I bought rift and then my other addiction took over and I haven't subbed that game since.

You wanted it so bad just to prove yourself that you could afford it and not that poor Tom, Dick or Harry you mentioned? Great!

my opinion is if you want to support a company who has spent 100million on a game and 8 years of time. then spend the 150 for it. im going to. sure the price is a tad much 100 would be fine. but i support bioware and swtor so im going to pay the price. if anyone has a brain they will not let this post persuade their decision on purchasing it. while im sure there are people who may agree. the truth is by not buying it your hurting the company. it also will not make them lower the price.
