Funcom has announced the price for the new Booster Packs to be released sometime around the holidays. They have set a price of $19.99 for the packs!! This price seems a bit steep since the original Anarchy Online and the Anarchy Online Special Edition can both be purchased for the same price. The packs will contain the original version of Anarchy Online as well as seperate game activation keys for the additional features which will be on seperate disks. This is fine for newcomers to AO...they will get the game and the Booster Pack for the same price as the original. The established players, on-the-other-hand, need to purchase the game again to get the new features. This doesn't sound like the traditional concept of a 'Booster Pack' at all. Instead it seems that Funcom has found a way to sell more games (and hopefully for Funcom, more accounts - read their suggestions for using the 'included' original game here). The Booster Packs can be pre-ordered through the Funcom On-line Store.
