EA has made official the Collector's Edition of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and announced pre-order bonuses.

Pre-ordering the massively multiplayer online game nets you early access and a Colour Stone, which lets you change your weapon effect. YES.

On the official Star Wars: The Old Republic website, EA encouraged gamers to pre-order now. The order in which you redeem your pre-order code, you see, is the order in which you'll gain early access before release.

Here's what the Collector's Edition gets you:

  • Exclusive Gentle Giant Darth Malgus statue
  • Game disks collectible metal case
  • The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural as annotated by Satele Shan
  • The Old Republic galaxy map
  • Custom Security Authentication Key
  • Music of Star Wars: The Old Republic CD
  • High-quality Collector's Edition box
  • Includes 7 Additional Digital Items:
  • Flare Gun
  • Training Droid
  • HoloDancer
  • HoloCam
  • STAP
  • Exclusive Mouse Droid
  • Exclusive Collector's Edition Store

And the Digital Deluxe Edition, exclusive to EA's Steam rival Origin:

  • Includes 5 Additional Digital Items:
  • Flare Gun
  • Training Droid
  • HoloDancer
  • HoloCam
  • STAP

The poor old Standard Edition doesn't get you anything extra. 30 days of game time is included in all editions.
