This is cool, but you do realize that NCSoft prepurchase deal is the less wise one financially. I guess I can't blame them for doing it this way though, it just sticks in my craw. The 'complete collection' pack is the only one that includes the bonus sets of costumes and such, and includes a free month of play time (a $15 dollar value) and is valued at $39.99. The only downside is that it's not available till July. The one that is for prepurchase on the NCSoft website does not include any game time, or the costume pack, but allows you to access dual pistols and demon summoning early, and is $29.99. Only ten dollars less than the other version.
NCSoft will make a lot more money off the pre-purchase option, which is why I'm sure they're doing it and pushing it now. It's just a little frustrating for me when you sit back and really compare both deals.
... wait, so i have to buy the other one as well to get the costume bits?
ah stuff it, i'll get both cuz i'm crazy and have to much spare time, that and i would like to have the actuly disk in hand. just incase
Well..it is frustrating. But seeing as I already -have- all the other costume packs and crap all I need is the expansion. the 10 dollar Diff..isn't going to make or break things for me. Now if I had just gotten the game and don't have any of the shineys I'd be all over the complete set like a fatman on cake. So really the only thing I'd be getting over the expansion with the complete pack would be a month free time.. or bout 5$ once you take the price difference into account. Not quite worth me waiting till July for. Sides..I already have too many game cases and crap around here makein a mess..I don't wanna add to it *grin*.
Later after GR Launch, you can get the Complete Collection Item Pack separate from the thing itself. They haven't mentioned any price, but I'd imagine on the order of $5-10.

That's true Ankh. But say that it goes for the average of costume packs costs of 10 dollars, that'll bring your total up to 39.99 spent. Same as the collectors edition. Only if you get the boxed version you also get a free month of play. Still comes out the better value in the end by the 15 dollars.
I'll admit, I'm weak and it'll be a (probably short) amount of time before I fold and get the prepurchase to access new shiny fun stuff, but I'll sit here on my lonely soapbox and grump for now
Awww *hugs Uni* Thats ok..I think most of us are weak in that respect
I don't doubt for a moment I'll be seein most if not all of our group shootin stuff with dual pistols within the next few days...assuming the funding is available ^_^
Hm. Given my financials, I'll probably wait for the July release. Much as I want to bounce over there right now and spend money.
