Star Wars the Old Republic is now available for pre-order at select retailers! The price is very high for a pay to play mmo, but if you're like me and have been waiting years and years for this mmo to come out, then it's worth it. Here's more info on the pre-order from the site:

I think it it is defintaly worth it to pre-order now so that you can start playing on release date. This is an exciting announcement as it means the game is closer to release! I for one defiantly can't wait!
Pre ordering will also get you into an early beta!
