Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A bumper $150 Collector's Edition for online game Star Wars: The Old Republic has been confirmed by Electronic Arts, meaning that a release date announcement is surely imminent.
That date is likely to be announced during the San Diego Comic-Con (July 21-24), at which The Old Republic's developers have a heavy presence.
The special edition, priced at £130 and €150 in the UK and Europe, includes a 9-inch statue of the renegade Sith Lord Darth Malgus, a journal annotated by Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, map, soundtrack CD, exclusive in-game items and game access prior to its official launch.
The PC game, which has an estimated development budget that lies between $80m and $100m, was previously due spring 2011.
Instead, RIFT was March's subscription-based challenge to World of Warcraft, at a time when many other MMOs are turning free-to-play (see Lord of the Rings Online, Age of Conan, APB).
