I had already started playing #SWTOR as part of Beta and Early Game Access. Lost in the recesses of my feeble mind, the fact that I had pre-ordered 2 copies of the Collector's Edition on July 21 from my local EB Games. I went to the store today, exactly 5 months later, ostensibly to cancel both of the pre-orders and get my $10 back. Then I got to talking with the store manager ... and I ended up buying one of the two pre-ordered copies. As I write this, 30 minutes later, so long as I was not being had, the other CE is already in someone else's hands ... he told me they would be gone within 30 minutes if I cancelled.
Now I am left with the decision, and I look to you, my readers for help. As far as I can tell, these are my options:
1. Return the unopened CE to EB Games for refund
2. Keep the CE, call it an investment, sell it "in Mint Condition" on eBay in a few years and retire!
3. Cancel and obtain refund from Origin for my DDE, and upgrade my DDE key to a CE Key on the official SWTOR site
4. Keep both and have 2 accounts, one DDE and one CE
5. Ask my wife what to do, since ultimately, she will make my decision based on her reaction to me spending another $150 on SWTOR!
What do you all think?

You could give it to me...or ask the wife, which is the safe thing to do!
ReplyDeleteIts is Christmas time and I dont live that far from you.
ReplyDeleteLOL to both of you! I have had a cash offer as well, and this guy lives even closer than you do, Jason. When I initially told my wife, she asked why I didn't buy both of them. Then I told her they were $150 a piece ... so no answer on that front :)
ReplyDeleteI would go with the eBay option. Some folks are already selling them for $200+, and it's still possible to buy the collector's edition at store prices from what I understand. Of course, that's coming from someone who's going to frame all the stuff that came in his CE: so ....
ReplyDelete@canudig thanks for that! Being risk averse, I always worry that the price will DROP intesad of increase!
ReplyDeleteWell, I would suggest if your wife played, keep the second one and have her play. I personally (if I did not need it) would attempt to sell for break even at minimum. My two cents.
ReplyDeleteThank you @Maxsus for the comment. As much as I would LOVE it if my wife would play, unfortunately, she gets motion sickness with video games, so it's not an option.
ReplyDeleteI have decided to leave the CE box, unopened and in mint condition on top of my bookshelf. Hopefully the investment will pay off someday!
