Bioware has announced the Standard, Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Editions of the highly anticipated Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, with pre-orders beginning today. Aimed toward fans of both MMORPGs and Star Wars alike, the respective editions offer varying levels of gameplay, add-ons and purchase incentives to complement potential gamers of all stripes. Prices range from $59.99 – $149.99.
The editions are as follows [from the press release]:
Star Wars: The Old Republic Standard Edition – The base edition of the game is available at retailers and online for an MSRP of $59.99 (USD) and includes 30 days of game time.

Physical items include a Darth Malgus statue from Gentle Giant, the journal of Jedi Master Gnost-Dural from Chronicle Books, The Music of The Old Republic soundtrack, a security key and a map of the in-game Star Wars galaxy. Virtual items include a Flare Gun, Training Droid, personal HoloDancer, HoloCam, the STAP vehicle and access to the Collector’s Store, an in-game store with new in-game items exclusively for owners of the Collector’s Edition.

The Old Republic is geared toward an immersive experience well beyond that of other MMORPGs and has strived to provide a wholly personalized, meaningful universe through the addition of story, thus leveling up the already potentially rich experience of an MMORPG. The game has already won numerous awards and will be available for open “Beta Testing Weekends” in September before its holiday release.
