InsaneBeetle Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 If I don't reserve SWG but I want to buy it, will I have to like wait 2 months or something? Or will I just be able to go down to target or gamestop and pick it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Well, if you live in the U.S., then you will be able to pick it up in the stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 It also depends on how bad you want to play it. I reserved my copy at the local EB store for $5 and I will be garunteed to have the box in my hands when the open. If I didn't reserve it I'd have to pitch a tent and wait in line like the other people who didn't reserve a copy. So it depends on if you want to take a chance and not get it the day it comes out or not. Some stores, wal-mart, will probably have some copies too. But they'll probably have things edited, 'cause wal-mart likes to do that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami87 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I live in Minnesota and shouldnt have a hard time. I would try, -Funco Land -EB, or Gamestop seems to have Games when they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Khan Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I really dont have to worry, I already paid the full price for the collectors addition at Gamestop! Oh yeah dude, if its sold out everywhere you are only garenteed a copy if you get there within 24 hours, but I think you are smarter then that and im pretty sure you will be there at the door the first day like me! =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti555 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Do the people that get choosen for beta still have to buy the retail version of the game to play the final release when it comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Badass Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Of course. The beta is an unfinished version of the game, and is not up to par with the retail. If you are talking about whether or not they get sent a free version of the game, I do not believe they would send out 50,000 free retail versions of SWG for free. Bad for business and such.

Jackrabbit Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 It would be nice though. I would definitely preorder it. This game is attracting 3 groups of people – Star Wars fans, MMORPG fans, and your normal gamers. I think it’s going to be pretty hard to get a copy the week it comes out. That reminds me... ::sprints to EB:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for whatever reason, they is a shortage when it is released, i.e. They only release 50,000 copies to take it easy on the servers, only those that paid for the game up front are guaranteed to have the box in their hands on release day. Just so you know. I do happen to know that Sony will be limitting the numbe rof released copies, but an exact number has not yet been released. Remember, if you paid for the game already, then you are more important than the guy who is 'promising' to pay for the game when it is released.

UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Well, considering I'm strapped for $$ *bling bling* now, I don't think I'll be paying in full till the release. I have more important things to pay for than the game now- viz. car insurance, paying rent etc. So, I guess I'll just have to take a chance. I've never had a problem with getting a game from EB with just a downpayment. But if I do, oh well. How long would it take for SONY to get more copies after release? A week?

joesdomain Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I wouldn't worry about it. With numerous delay announcements and the official website saying To be announced as a release date. I don't think it will be coming out for awhile. Probably not till the end of 2003. That is my opinion. It takes Lucasarts forever to debug a game. I guess their compnay doesn't have alot of people working on each project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Badass Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 OR they have ENOUGH people that are highly skilled working on this project and are taking their time to ensure you a bug-free game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I didn't think Lucasarts had much to do with the game. I thought it was all SOE and such. But, of course it wouldn't make too much sense for an online game doing all of the programming and such, would it? So, list all the companies that are having their paw in the creation of the game to the production, s'il vous plâit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCords Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I think swgalaxies.net's current prediction (June 17th) is pretty fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
