http://torwars.com is a great site all about SW:TOR.

I really want to try TOR, but I'm hoping the price comes down. I know the preorder prices I've seen are 59.99 for the normal set. I really hope that's just a placeholder number because i'm priced out of the game at that point.

@Amaxe
No, those are the prices. All new "AAA" titles cost $60. PC games have finally caught up to console pricing. But you get a free month of gameplay...

Heck, even WoW was $50... and until about two years ago, $50 was the normal price for PC games.

Amaxe, it will not come down.

Lucas is getting a nice cut of the gross, so prices must be high.

In fact, I am predicting they will advance the sub price point to $20 or $25 a month.

You would all pay that, and you know it.

Well, I guess I won't be going in until it gets older then. A pity, but I am not going to blow $60 for an unproven MMO... maybe if I get a windfall of unexpected money sure. But as it stands now, it would damage my budget too much.

Shit...

...and I'm pretty sure I paid less than $50 for WoW when i got in in 2006.

I don't like the new $60 price, though that alone wouldn't keep me away. The two things holding me back are:
- No confirmation of subscription prices.
- The combination of the pre-order being currently unavailable to my country with the local Origin store having a localized banner saying they are available. I sincerely don't know what to expect; will pre-orders be available here? Is that banner an error?
