sorry but smed has zero credibility. I seriously doubt he would confirm losing SWG until he is absolutely forced too.

So what's the rumor here? Bioware now owns SWG and is trying to sell pre-CU SWG for $60? Doubt it. I honestly don't know what it would be, though. If it was an expansion, they'd be talking about it non-stop, and they said they've stopped working on it to fix bugs and the core gameplay. Could be just a new package with the same old bullsh*t. But it's hard to believe anyone (yes, even them) would be stupid enough to think they'd make money off that. Especially after taking all of their products off of store shelves for a month. What could they possibly have done that makes them think that they've made something worth $60, when no one wants to play their game and most of their old fanbase hates them? I'd say SOE's got one last trick up their sleeves. A last ditch effort to make some money out of this mess. They're going through the effort to make this game more like pre-CU SWG. I don't think they would have bothered if they were finished with SWG. I don't think they'd want to hold on to that license if they had given up on it. As Smedley said a little bit ago, in that one SWG guild's website, they don't announce anything until it goes live. Knowing them, they'll try something big. And knowing them, everyone will hate it. |

Slight followup. My buddy said I can pre-order the new sku on the 15th. I told him i would be in to do just that. My curiousity is getting the better of me. At least I will have a receipt with a sku, title, and price to scan and upload...so there is definately a new box on the way folks.

It's more then likely that there pulling them for a new boxxed set, there has been talk of SOE putting out a boxxed set that has all of SOE's games on them. Also we're talking about Walmart here, if they hear there's a new copy of (game here) coming out, they tend to pull the old copys and then put the new copys on the shelf. I know the one near me did that with the Total Experience box, there where about 2 to 4 copys sitting on the shelf a month before the NGE and Starter Pack came out. The thing you have to remember about Walmart is they go for selling Xbox/PS2 stuff before the PC, and if it's a PC Game they tend to go with whatever came out, really old games that take up little space that go for $10 bucks or so, and best sellers...
Now after stopping in at my near by GameStop last week to pick up a copy of the new Command & Conquer: The First Decade, they did still have a few copys of SWG on the rack. |

Rofl @ paranoid and desperate pre-cu fanboys making up rumors to make themselves feel better.
Seriously guys move on, the NGE is here to stay and most people have forgotten about the pre-cu. Go play saga of ryzom or something, it will benefit your mental health in the long run.

Please don't feed the trolls... It only makes them hang around longer. Kinda like stray dogs. SOE knows what you like... You don't! |

well, i know the RoTW came out in stores the last week of november, it offered the Jedi Fighter as a bonus item. You get the Varactyl with the downloaded version. RoTW was only in stores maybe 2 weeks at most before they replaced it with the TTE before Episode 3 premiered. As for ToOW, i'm not 100% sure but i could have sworn i seen an advertisement for it at gamestop, i think it came with the lava skiff vehicle vise the lava flea as with the download. But of course this was quickly replaced with the Starter kit, which of course the starter kit also overrided the TTE i believe because it was not up for sale anywhere after the Starter kit came out. This all transpired over one month and maybe a week from the end of november and through december of 2005. So its very easy not have noticed them in the stores. Why all this transpired has had me curious for some time. I had a funny feeling that SOE is really grasping at straws to sell SWG. But i would assume that the only SKU currently "active" would be the starter kit. |

I'm not sure how much we can tell from in-stock products at a store location. I went in to the BestBuy here in Salt Lake and they have every SWG product ever released(except the special edition). Including game cards. I don't know if they're just ignoring re-calls or what, but they have a ton of the SOE garbage. I hope something is in the works, watching SOE get their come-uppins would be delightful. |
