Let me know if I missed any.........The ISBN number is not the same as any others..so it is a new book.
The big question is...why is the description not even close to the current game?


Is this the help book to go with the new swg talked about in all the rumors?

Or is it just a simple typo/misprint?
If it is a misprint....why did they misprint all the way back to the first printing of the description? Out of the 5 copys of this book....thats a big oops....

I think the new talkative Smed and Co...should really say a few words on this one.

As I see it..they have 2 choices........Step up and say nope...just an oops on Prima or Amazons part
or...keep silent about what they don't want to get out....that the desription is true....

Silent will = a new surge of rumors.........

any other thoughts on this?

"Eliminate the Impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

This what asked about on the offical SWG forums. TH stated it was all a mistake and that they would have it fixed sasp. On a same note Tiggs said the exact same thing when the starter kit was found on Amazon.com.

Having access to a billion $ IP - Billions of dollars..
Having access to a massive fan base of said IP - Even more Billons...
Singly handedly alienating them due to stupidity - Priceless.

I just got a station pass to pass tiem till a few new releases and after a MASSIVE SWG update (I had a release version lol) a few things popped into my head.

1. this setup is built of a controller (it really is, cept for chatting, and plays better on my nyko actually)

2. ppl are over reacting. Yes the old game is gone and I wish it wasn't (back when you have to choose standing/kneeling/prone to fire from, liked it more back then), BUT it isn't a hideous game either. Of course the smart thing to do would have released CU as a seperate game and run both at the same time...but...ya /sigh...it really does play more like an older StarWars game honestly, not a great one, but the old game is dead.

3. If it does hit consoles then they will release massive revisions just before that for publicity and such. If they are focused on adapting the game for consoles now, then they can't really change much until after that. May seem to be ignoring the player base, but they may be waiting until they are at a point that it is worthwhile to change all platforms. (has blind hope) Seriously if players are still attached and complainaing and begging for an older version almost a year later then why won't they stay on tip toes until after a console realease? And, if they don't then you have all those new console players to fill up the servers.

edit: my usual typos

Well for starters #OE has been asked and has stated everytime that this game will not go to console. I would guess that you could kiss the rest of the player base goodbye if this goes to Console (no matter what form of it). It would mean that 1. $OE has been lying to the playerbase (nothing new here). and 2. They have been using the player base to BETA test something (I guess, sadly, nothing new here either).  3. If all were true you can kiss whats left (if any) of $OE consumer confidence down the drain. A betrayl of this zie would never be forgotten by the consumer base. You think the media they are getting now is bad... Wait till the hardcore gamers get ahold of something like that and watch what happens.

Now just a minute.

The old game worked fine. If they had fixed the UI/Gamplay Issues and BUGS, it would have worked. But instead of that they simply decided to changes it into a different game, TWICE. If you think this game is FINE, then your the problem we've been fighting against, leeters, pvpers and twitchers. People who don't understand that this was supposed to be a deeper game then Battlefield:XXXX. o.-
You had your games out there and you had to invade our space like a army yelling "W007" o.-

Anyway, I'm tired of your kind saying "Get over it old man, new generation is here" this was our space and your took in. In some cultures that shameful, as is it now.

$0E has told blarring lies to its swg customer base, but honestly I thing the SOE people posting the lies on the forums are probably as ignorant as the rest of us on the details. Hell the dev's and LA don't even know whats going on, they just develope and develop crap with no actual intentions of releasing any of it. Its all just test stuff then some one walks in and says, "Hey that looks good push that out to the public, they'll love it cause we're SOE and we'll tell them to like it." Then there you have it cu happens, then the nge happens.
