Okay I also recieved that E-mail about the release date but this is about something differnet as the title implies
Now that EA has a release date set when do you think we will start seeing commercials on say TV and the like for the game.
We already know EA considers this one of their front runner games that they want to put out there..especiallly for their MMO scene.
We know that Bioware set up an entire studio for this game, so i figured a commercial is a given, just not sure when to think they will start. Also feel free to speculate as well what the commercial will show, remember it's trying to appeal to star wars and Bioware fans.
If you want you can put forth videos of the game as your idea to as long as they don't contain any NDA breaking material (until such time as the NDA drops naturally).
Remember this is a speculation thread, not a discussion thread on release dates or EA habits on the types of advertising. Lets try and keep this strictly to when you think they will start showing and what it might contain, thanks.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.

I would think early or mid Nov for the commertials.
This could be one:

The cinematic trailers chopped up and re-done could be another:

But no question they will be coming.
How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder, without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them?

I'm thinking they will use this one.

That was the chopped up cinematic I was talking about. I forgot about that one, nice.
Edit: After watching that video. The commertial looks to be the last 49 secs. It starts at the 2 minute mark and would be a great commertial.

Edit: Nevermind, the guy above posted it already
I guess they will make a new one.

I'm thinking they'll start the commercials about a month ahead of release. I'm guessing they'll use one or more of the cinematics but whatever it is will have to be cut down to 30 seconds or so.
Edit: They may want to stick with gameplay video as the cinematics are a lot different than how the game actually looks. Or perhaps they might combine the two.
They already have the box sets in the STores; The videos / trailers would fit nicely to TV. I am not sure how much advertising they need before XMAS but I would expect some limited , with a lot more advertising after Christmas.
They have more than enough subs with Pre Order , to load for release. Staggered customers joining the game suits them and fits in with a good gaming experience as the environment is likely to be more stable early 2012 than at release.

Maybe something like the "Features" trailer as well. If they do have commercials, there will probably be some aspects of this one in it.
