It's been a stellar week of digital pre-order sales for <a href="http://www.aiononline.com/"><em>Aion</em></a>, with the upcoming title taking <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59734">top honors on Steam's weekly sales chart</a>. Specifically, it was the Collector's Edition of the game that did so well. Keep in mind that this is not the same as the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/18/aion-collectors-edition-announced-specd/">Limited Collector's Edition</a>, which contains physical items like the Asmodian Daeva figurine that might be too difficult to distribute digitally with our current technology. It does however still contain a handful of in-game items that the regular edition doesn't. The pre-sale of both versions comes with guaranteed access to a couple of closed beta events, as well as an attribute boosting hat, an experience boosting talisman and a "special effects ring".<br /><br />Interestingly, the pre-order for the regular edition didn't crack Steam's top 10. It seems that, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/08/aion-collectors-edition-close-to-selling-out-in-the-uk/">just like with the Limited Collector Edition</a> from brick-and-mortar stores, people are happy to pay just a little bit more for that extra something. Steam is selling the regular pre-order for US$49.99 and the collector's edition for US$59.99. The weekly sales chart is based on revenue, so <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/aion">Aion</a>'s</em> asking price would have helped it beat popular budget-priced titles.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59734">Shacknews</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/29/aion-collectors-edition-pre-orders-top-steam-weekly-sales/">Aion Collector's Edition pre-orders top Steam weekly sales</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:00:00 EST.
