EB Games selling Star Wars: The Old Republic months ahead of release

Two months ahead of the likely Australian release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, EB Games has begun importing and selling the game throughout their network of bricks and mortar stores, as well as on their website where stock is still available. Harvey Norman's Direct Import store is yet to follow suit.

EB are selling SWTOR for $78, a whopping $18 more than other online stockists that ship to Australia such as ozgameshop.com - but the difference is that it's in stock, and you can grab it right now.

For the time being you will have to play on American servers but as reported by Kotaku AU, Bioware have informed Australian import owners they can easily switch over to local ones.

Interesting.I wonder if this is a legit import; or if they're doing it on the sly.

on the sly.

The interesting part is the "local servers" mentioned by EA.

If there was an australian based server, I might even play it.

I'm so very tempted to go out and grab it. But I'm hesitant because it's unlikely I'll play past the first included month given my track record with MMO games.
