Finally, it is almost available ^_^

You can get it in 3 versions.  Standard, the one for losers.  Digital Deluxe Edition, another one for losers.  Then there is the Collector Edition.  Winner!

Collectors edition is definitely the most expensive being about 3x the price of standard edition.  The only thing that really puts this one ahead of the Digital Deluxe is that it gives you access to an exclusive in game shop that only Collectors edition users can use.  See the full comparison here.

Since there is in-game trading then I figure you can probably just buy Digital Deluxe edition and then convince a friend with Collectors edition to buy things for you.

Pre ordering gets you early access to the game but they have not announced when that will be.  Characters created during the Early Access period do get carried over into the final version of the game.

I had to hunt around for the Collectors edition as it wasn't available from my usual retailers.

Good Hunting

If I was married I'd be all like "oy, shut it, I'm buying it.  End of discussion.  Now get back to dancing for me."

I'll get married later on, you know, after I've given up on my own life.

Heh, I think you nailed that issue and debate to one conclusion.  

But I don't agree with the more serious matter. I would guess that you can only use Collector's Ed items IF you have a Coll Ed yourself. It's probably rather easy for them to lock accounts in that regard.

Wasn't going to get this anyways, but shouldn't CE be only fluff or free hours?
I can understand the lifetime-subscription from a CE and fluff stuff such as extra perrty mounts or mini-pets in-game, or maps and memorabilia IRL, but an entire in-game store exclusively for the CE customers? Well, I don't know what it contains, but I hope it's not "Uber elite extra large ammo-holster" or "10 hours worth of EXP-potion".

That's kinda why I got it, without further information it is hard to tell how significant the shop will be.  I hadn't thought of them locking purchased items to certain game editions.  I am definitely thinking of buying things from the CE store and selling them to other users for a small fee.  Saying that though, there are plenty of other people who bought CE so I guess the markets will be pretty flooded.  Having store access is the only thing that put CE in my basket over Deluxe edition.

Super foxy girl: I really need the electric blue light sabre crystal from the CE store.
Me: What's it worth to you?
Super foxy girl: Everything!
Me: Everything?
Super foxy girl: E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G
Me: Sweet!

Then foxy girl turns out to be 50 year old overweight man.

REFUND!

Yeah, I think you'll have a hard time there NorticDog.
First off: There are no girls on the Internet.
Second: It's a Star Wars game. For every Slavegirl Leia there are 10'000 guys in jedi-robes (because that's the only thing that fits them).

Then again, you could be in luck:
