fml... I don't have the money to pay for the collectors edition T.T

and they get to play 8 days earlier?!? :''''''''''''''''''(

Although this maybe a smart move from a business perspective, it will probably make a lot of people (who are unwilling or unable to pay twice the cost of the regular version to start playing 8 days early too) unhappy.

its not quite double the price, Collectors edition is $74.99 and the normal one is $49.99 i think $25 more is not that much ;) and u get alot new features including your own security token that cost you $10 alone i think :)

with Collectors Edition it is, im not sure with the normal edition tho...

i think that with collectors editions there is also a free month for a guest, guess you can invite a friend to play free for a month...

EDIT: ok both versions have a free first month ;)
