Lallante wrote:While I'm excited about the Collectors' Edition itself, I'm pretty disappointed by the Promo Pack offer. I (and I'm sure many many others) shelled out to pre-order the Collectors Edition a) to support a game I've played continuosly since beta made by developers whom I've met personally, and b) to get access to content that is unique to those who have pre-ordered the Collectors Edition or bought it from them. Offering a large portion of the supposedly limited edition content for a lower price enormously devalues the Collectors Edition for me (and the value of the items on the ingame market, though I care about this less). I don't want a refund, as fundamentally reason a) above is more important to me, but I want to register than this feels like a slap in the face to those of us who value the "limited" in "limited edition". I'm sure many others who have pre-ordered the collectors edition will ask for a refund so they can buy the cheaper promo pack instead. I'd also really like an assurance that none of these items (e.g. the Genolution implants) will ever be given away in any other context, because again, we are shelling out a LOT of money here and that would considerably undermine the value received. Quote:The EVE Online pre-purchase items are timed exclusives, available initially to pre-purchase customers and available to trade in the marketplace. They will be made publicly available via in-game markets and promotions at a later date.
This is also seriously not OK to be applied retrospectively. It needs to be made very clear, on an item by item basis, which items are unique and which may be mass-released later. The way this was handled for the tattoos was fine (i.e. told from the original announcement it was just a pre-release). Nailed it. Why even prepurchase the CE? In fact, why even buy the CE at all when you can buy the $50 pack, get "preorder" items, then purchase the CE and get the items all over again?
No, CCP. This reeks of monoclegate all over again. Greed is Good, remember everyone?

I preordered the CE back when it was announced. Do i get this right, that, if i would be able to cancel my preorder, i could buy the promo pack/ preorder the ce again and would have had twice the rewards for the same price? As i already used my preorder code, i assume cancelation is no longer possible ... :/ |

You all do realize that if you already purchased the preorder, you get the newly announced content for free, right? Check your emails.

Yup, it's really unfortunate that the only thing that's different between the Collector's Edition and the Promo Pack is the price. Especially since the stuff in the promo pack is only for people who pre-ordered the Collector's Edition and wasn't a part of the pack when it was announced.
You mean the promo pack which only contains the preorder bonuses, and nothing else? Steve Ronuken for CSM 9!-á I'm starting early :) Handy tools and an SDE conversion Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

Nailed it. Why even prepurchase the CE? In fact, why even buy the CE at all when you can buy the $50 pack, get "preorder" items, then purchase the CE and get the items all over again? No, CCP. This reeks of monoclegate all over again. Greed is Good, remember everyone? That assumes that the code used doesn't invalidate the preorder bonuses when redeemed. The pack is essentially a partial preorder without a commitment to buy the CE in full if the items don't duplicate. Since there are claims of this being true and even derogatory remarks at CCP for it, it's been tested and proven I assume? |

CCP Doom has a dev blog letting you know all that pertinent information here. We know you can't wait to get your hands on the Collector's Edition and we can't wait to get it to you.
Can you give an indication of shipping times to Australia? I will not be home during the month of November and unfortunately can not rely on my local postal service who will not hold packages more than 7 days. I fear this will arrive when I am away. Given the massive cost of the CE is it possible to pay extra to expedite shipping to Australia?

Any word on these codes for amazon preorders?
There was a whole thread when the Nefantar thrasher codes went out, and we eventually got them after a couple weeks but I still havent gotten an e-mail for this or the sleeve tattoos. Are we out of luck until the boxes ship because of the way amazon handles pre orders?

I have not received my Amazon implant code, but I received my Amazon pre-order sleeve tattoo code a fair while ago. Maybe check your spam folder to see if the email was lost? |

Its ******* bullshit that they are now selling all the incentives to buy the CE for a third of the price This reeks of pay to win
It makes me so ******* angry that I saved up and forked out $220AUD for the CE on the promise of limited edition content and now their just handing it out to anyone at a third of the price
As far as I'm concerned CCP can go **** themselves if their going to be throwing around a scam like that And thats what it is, a scam Release a product with the promise of additional incentive limited edition content at an inflated price if pre-ordered Then closer to the release date, release all the pre-order content at a fraction of the price to boost sales with no compensation to the original purchasers
If you want the pre-order content, then you bloody pre-order the item that it was promised with Not just come along at the last minute and pick up all the incentives at 1/3rd the price
I'll be demanding a full refund if this goes ahead as feel cheated out of my hard earned money and victimized by CCP on a promise of exclusivity which now means nothing |

So for $150 people could preorder the collector's edition, get all the preorder items, plus some nice other items as well. Now for $50, people can buy the promo pack, get all the preorder items, and $50 off the collector's edition so they get all the preorder items again. For $150 total you get twice the preorder items and all the other items of the normal CE.
Either CCP really did not think things through, or that's really, really dirty marketing. My Youtube Channel Latest video: August 25, 2013 |

Here's something people missed.
Go look at the shipping date on the promo pack.
It's set to the time that the collector's edition ships. So at that point, you won't get the preorder stuff with the copy you get with the voucher.

I'd just like to say the fact that Australians have to pay $215 for it is slightly annoying. Put a drop down box in the store just for Australians and you pick that box and the price goes to EUR dollars.
149.99 Euro = 215.22613 Australian Dollars (1 EUR = 1.43493652 AUD -+ 1 AUD = 0.69689493 EUR)
It would be nice if we could pay via USD instead. Which would be closer to $150AUD (I think it's close to $160AUD if we paid USD).
Other people have probably pointed this out but I didn't see it. I'm sure CCP have a good reason for it. Just seems a bit odd.

It's not /quite/ as bad as that.
The US price doesn't include any taxes, as they're funny like that. Really annoying in shops, where the price on the shelf, isn't the price you pay.
The Euro price does include tax.
Doesn't quite make up the difference, but there are differing costs, for different countries. Steve Ronuken for CSM 9!-á I'm starting early :) Handy tools and an SDE conversion Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

Just to jump in and clarify a few points on the pre-purchase items and Promo Pack:
The Promo Pack only contains the pre-purchase items, not the digital or physical contents of the full Collector's Edition box set. The certificate can be redeemed against a full purchase of the Collector's Edition from the EVE Store (only), however purchasing the Promo Pack does not guarantee a full copy.
When you purchase the Promo Pack from the EVE Store you will only receive the pre-purchase items once, even when you use the certificate to claim your full copy of the Collector's Edition. You cannot claim a second set of pre-purchase items by using this offer.
The CA-3 and CA-4 are, much the same as the tattoos, "timed exclusives". Currently only available as part of the pre-purchase bundle (when purchasing the full Collector's Edition or the Promo Pack), these will be made more widely available at a later date.

Also, getting in or out doesn't refer to CQ--I mean get in Golden or in a "regular" pod. Step onto the battlefield, and you're already dead, born again at the end of the battle to live on and fight another day.
