    Since it has been stated that the consoles will, at least initially, be about 6 months behind PC, I'd expect you'll be able to preorder the AoY* packs around Christmas.

    Might not necessarily mean the AoY packs. A Founder pack would be available when the game goes live for PS4 users. The info for it might be available a month or two before the PS4 launch.

    What would you expect to be in such a pre-order bonus? The game is F2P, so I presume it would need to contain some ships or uniforms or the like?

    I wonder if They will even offer a LTS on the consoles.

    Welllllllll, console players are hardly founders, they are coming on board 6 years into. Late to the game. They are hardly discovering anything.

    How about "Welcome to the party pal" pack.

    They will likely not even bother with a subscription model. Since the console version is separate from the PC version, then they will likely follow the guidelines that PWE laid down for Neverwinter instead of the freemium system that we have.

    I'm not a console player, so I don't really know what's different for Neverwinter as far as the guidelines you're talking about. Out of curiosity, how does it differ from the F2P model?

    I was talking about the difference between STO and Neverwinter. AFAIK, all of PWE games except for STO are F2P. I have always stated that if STO didn't have Lifetime Subscriptions, then the game would be completely F2P instead of the freemium system that we have. There might be other guidelines that PWE has for its games like Neverwinter except just the F2P issue that the PC version of STO doesn't follow due it being an acquired game, but what those might be, I have no idea.
