CE Now Leaked - Play Early for $150

It's unofficial and disturbing at the same time. BioWare, LucasArts, and EA, seem to have a huge leak of news going on prior to the San Diego Comic Con. Both the Standard Box art and the CE box Art appear to have leaked onto the web early. However lets stress that none of this is OFFICIAL and has not been confirmed by EA, LucasArts, or the great team at BioWare.


While it's great to have this information we would have preferred it to come from BioWare officially - hopefully this week. In fact in our predictions piece for SDCC we had hoped to see this information come out. What's also interesting is that BioWare has not shut down the forum thread covering the leak of information.

So what do the rumors of the CE list as its contents:

*30-day subscription to the game
*Speeder (digital content, unique vehicle, available at level 25)
* Exclusive Gentle Giant Darth Malgus statue
* Star Wars: The Old Republic game discs in collectible metal case
* The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural annotated by Satele Shan
* Old Republic galaxy map
* Custom Security Authentication Key (i.e. Authenticator)
* Exclusive Music of Star Wars: The Old Republic CD
* High-Quality Collector's Edition Box
* DE will let you touch his abs

INCLUDES 7 ADDITIONAL DIGITAL ITEMS:
* Flare Gun: Fire flares into the air
* Training Droid: Hovers at your side for combat assistance
* HoloDancer: Project your own holographic dancer
* HoloCam: Keep visual records of in-game adventures
* STAP: Sleek and unique in-game vehicle
* Exclusive Mouse Droid: Spun-ky droid to join your adventures
* Exclusive Collector's Edition Store: Unique in-game vendor with a dynamic assortment of items



What's also interesting is the option to play the game before release:

*Standard Preorder: 3 day head start
*CE Preorder: 6 Day head start


Remember this is all rumor and speculation. However some tongue and cheek comments from Stephen Reid might indicate this information is indeed legit.
