For those of us waiting for the next installment of the X-Wing/Tie Fighter series, well, tough luck from the looks of it. Sure, Lucas and Sony have found a great way to give us the space combat we know and love — but only if we plunk down money for Star Wars: Galaxies. And then buy the upcoming Star Wars: Galaxies: Jump to Light Speed expansion pack. And then, after you're all paid up at the store, you can go home and give out your credit card number for that monthly subscription charge. Fun! The expansion does look like it's being done well. It's just too bad us cheapskates will never be able to enjoy an updated version of the old swashbuckling space battles. Hopefully they won't find a way to fold their first-person shooters into their online subscription title.
