Is this your source? http://www.empik.com/star-wars-the-old-republic-pre-order-edycja-kolekcjonerska-pc-bioware,p1044290448,multimedia-p
Could be a place holder, could be fake? I wouldn't call it confirmed. It is alright looking, though. I'd love to be optimistic though and hope this means the San Diego Comic Con is bringing us some Pre-Order information.

Oh yay pre order crap. Digging the boxart tho, very Kotor.
It's just a colour change. Nothing big.

I found it on NeoGAF. I don't think it's a placeholder, it's too good for that.
More worried about the early access, while that's not a rare thing for an mmo I really have little will to play a story driven mmo waiting in line to kill a duder with the rest of the galaxy.
Yeah, okay they got instanced areas and stuff, but not all of it.
But guess I can't ask a MMO not to be an MMO.
I really like the boxart. I'll probably get this because by the time it comes out, looking to be early next year, I'll have a newer computer.
Troll harder, brah.@iAmJohn said:
Looks like a generic Star Wars box art all right.
But then again, considering the game looks like a generic WoW clone, perhaps that's not so surprising.
You just pissed off several people very concisely and very effectively.
GG.
So the one guy who was killed in all the trailers gets center stage on the boxart? psh, can a brother get a twi'lek or something up in this bitch?
@Chabbs0 said:These were my first two thoughts.That's what North American boxart is.I think it looks pretty crap. Just characters layed over each other.

@TaliciaDragonsong said:Digging the boxart tho, very Kotor.Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe one day, we shall get another one of those. sigh...
one can only hope :/
thats the first thing i thought when i saw it too
i still got that fatass box somewhere round here
So that chick looks a ton like Bastila.
And yeah, it looks like Star Wars alright. I'm not pegging that as a negative or a positive. It just looks like Star Wars.
Regardless, I have to say I like it.
Anyways, liking the cover art--it's definitely Star Wars. I've been really psyched for this game since its release, and have been on a Star Wars binge recently. Glad to see release stuff popping up.
@Red: That's awesome news. I had no idea. I'm not sure how they would work with Revan though since there was a choice as to how that character ended up. Did they ever settle on a canonical ending?
If this game can scratch my KotOR itch I will be elated. And here I was promising myself to never touch an mmo again ...
I think the canonical ending was the light side ending, and he possibly may have turned back to the dark side later, but I'm not sure.@Red: That's awesome news. I had no idea.

Also, I believe that girl that is a descendant of Bastila is voiced by Jennifer Hale. So they will even sound the same!
The canonical ending was the light side ending, yes. Revan is in SWTOR. As it is - a lot of people are upset on things dealing with him. It's heavily spoilerish to say more. But suffice it to say, as a former KotOR player.... I was disappointed on how things were handled with him in SWTOR. This won't prevent me from buying the game.. but I cringe nonetheless when I think upon it.@weeman105 said:

I'm guessing that is the idea. They probably want to make sure people think "Hey I really enjoyed KOTOR, right?"
