The Old Republic pre-orders go live

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

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

• Includes 5 Additional Digital Items:
• Flare Gun

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