Galaxies shipping -doobie - Jun 17 06:45pm

This one should make Whispy happy... Shacknews just posted that LucasArts has announced the Galaxies release date... of June 26! Holy snikeys, that's soon. They've also announced the pricing plan and it sounds steep (to me at least): $14.99 per month, $14 per month for 3 months, $13 per month for 6 months or $12 per month for 12 months, on top of whatever you pay at retail for it. Ouch. But anyway, only 9 days to go for you semi-wealthy MMORPG Star Wars fans!

8 more days and the NDA is still in effect...

I guess they don't want us beta testers to rag...

Converting the dollars in to pounds for us people in the UK:

$14.99 per month = £8.90
$14 per month for 3 months = £8.31
$13 per month for 6 months = £7.71
$12 per month for 12 months = £7.12

Now this is just a straight conversion using a currency convertor, I very much doubt this will be the prices we'll pay here in the UK. Our prices will probably be higher than this. :(

I think I'll hold off on galaxies for at least a month after release. Theres no sense in paying full price for playing a buggy game. :(

that's not more than I had expected. Well, anyway, that's great, though I'll probably activate it 3 weeks later, even if I DO get my preorder at the release date, because I'm going on a 3-week holiday on July 28th.

WTF..... + the 450-500 dkr I have to pay for the game itself.... gah, I might just as well quit the thought of owning a bar in Galaxies, too much money.

Only thing which could make this worse is if one of my friends with his a** full of money can have it and brag..... :(

At Gamestop you can also get a collector edition with in-game addons...heres the link http://www.gamestop.com/default.asp?sect=2 it also comes with a patch and some other cool stuff...including a pewter figurine. Its 80 bucks but you get a lot more stuff.
