http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000BKF2I4/qid=1129037611/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/102-6094983-3528924?v=glance&s=videogames/

That is whats on amazon.


Notice the lack of this product on LA's website.


Note the description for KOTOR II on LA's website

http://store.lucasarts.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=1549;category_id=483


Very Similar.


Yes box art I know I know. IMO Amazon got overzealous and did it themselves since its not on any other site that i have located.

Buy.com talks about the first 30 levels have been redone. Does not add up at all.


So, in conclusion, IMHO.... Listen to Tiggs and dont worry its a typo...... I hope.

My biggest thought is if the starter kit was coming out why would it not be on LA's website in thier store?


Clickies welcome im too lazy.

You are kidding right? Amazon going out their way to create false box art (with damn good detail) to promote 1 single computer game...... LOL

It's far more likely that Tiggs told a 'half-truth.'

The KOTOR2 description is, at the least, the 'erroneous listing'she was referring to.


If Amazon made the box art, did they also take the liberty of making up the 'EASY-TO-PLAY Star Wars Action' emblem?

Highly unlikely. Think Occam's Razor.

It's far more likely that it was provided to them. Was it from an official source? We don't know. Possibly.


There is clearly SOMETHING going on.


The details of WHAT are unclear.


It could be simply a re-issue of the basic game, or it could be something else entirely, we don't know, whatsoever.


With all the hubub now, we are all probably gonna find out sooner, rather then later.


IF it's a haox/scam/error its gonna go down down in video game history.


I have repeatedly tonight expressed my firm suspicion that there will be a product realease in November...

There are too many unique details scattered about for me to personally belive it's all a mistake.


We will see, all of us, soon enough.

This is 3 weeks old and a simple DEV tracker search will show you it's already been "solved"



Features:



  • Choose the light or the dark side of the Force based on your characters actions as you progress through the story

  • For 1 player

  • Sequel to the award-winning role-playing game

  • All-new Force powers, weapons, locations, characters and classes

This is what it says over this "mystery product"Amazon KOTOR 2

I agree but I am not convinced of a product release in november. If so LA would announce it not Amazon. They would want huge publicity as for Toow to help boost profits. Rumor's and broken advertisements on a few retailer websites are not the ways LA advertises in search of new income.


If the higherups did not care about the loss of jedi and those that believe there are too many jedi, they would be shouting the release of jedi as a starting profession from the rooftops.


again imo.

It may be that part of the description on amazon was goof on their part, but the rest is too suspect. Consider this approval SOE got from LA (about FRS...ha), but SOE wants to take longer to POLISH it up........more like they are holding out because the community would be outraged if it is infactmajor changes to the game just in time forChristmas(jedi starting out etc.).

Just for a moment, entertain the notion that something drastic was about to be changed...

Something that might affect future player purchase decisions...for better or worse...


Now put yourself in the shoes of the game-seller...

Do you risk announcing the changes before the release of a major expansion?

Rememberthat you need to sell it to your already hesitantplayerbase...


Do you rock the boat right before asking for more money?


No, you wait until after they purchase it THEN you give em the big news.



Anyways we really don't know what is coming, but again, I can't believe it's all a mistake.



...and if one more person points out that the description is from KOTOR2 and thinks they 'solved' this mess...

You're looking for a conspiracy theory that just isnt there.

"There is another"

Thread out there you idiot.

The rumors are running rampant, so just buy the damn thing and let those of us without the foil hat figure it out on our own.

You know that scene, the one where Marlon Brando did that little hand wave right before he died. Yeah. That was beautiful man.

I wrote this before the NGE, now I feel like Brando

We will all find out, now won't we....


Have you read the description on buy.com or noticed there is a matching listing on that site for a strategy guide?

Have you thought about the wording on the now semi-infamous 'box art' ?


Anyways, I am done for now trying to convince people this is more than an Amazon goof.


I have spent too much time thinking about this tonight...so I bid you all goodnight.

This has been discussed to death and it really doesn't belong in the jedi forum. There's a huge thread in one of the other forums. (Expansions I think) Leave it there. heh.
