In addition to announcing special editions of varying fanciness levels, BioWare and EA also have some news about when some of us will be able to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. Starting in September, the developer will hold "Beta Test Weekends," allowing "selected players" to check out the game early.

If you're interested -- and about a million and a half people were as of March -- you can sign up at the website.
