Cryptic Studios will be offering a six month and lifetime subscription for Champions Online. Users who pony up for a six month subscription in advance receive a 33% off discount vs. a monthly subscription, as well as an Art Deco costume set, and most notably, access to the Star Trek Online closed beta test which begins later this year.

The high rollers, on the other hand, who can really afford to take a leap-of-faith, can opt for a lifetime subscription, which will offer all the same goodies that the six month subscription nets you, and more:

Lifetime Subscriptions come with:

• Access to the Star Trek Online Closed Beta, beginning later this year!
• Exclusive Art Deco costume set
• Exclusive Retro Future costume set, available only to lifetime subscribers
• Unique Mirror Universe outfit for Star Trek Online, available at the game’s release
• Exclusive in-game Foxbat action figure, available only to lifetime subscribers
• Eight additional character slots!

As I don't have a pre-order key for Champions Online, I do not know the pricing for the lifetime subscription. If you've got the details, let us know in the comments below!

UPDATE: Lifetime subscriptions will run you $199. The exclusive specials website can be found here.
