So the battle is on for the Trekkers (Trekkies) and the upcoming Star Trek Online game. Sellers are offering exclusives for the pre-order business;

•GameStop -- GameStop customers receive the ability to command the exclusive and always classic USS Enterprise from Star Trek The Original Series.
•Best Buy -- Best Buy is offering their customers a fun in-game pet. As a Federation Captain, players own a famed Tribble of Star Trek lore that will accompany them on their travels into the final frontier. As a Klingon commander, players control the boar-like Targ, a beast found on the Klingon home world of Qo?noS.
•Amazon -- Amazon is offering an exclusive ?Liberated Borg? Bridge Officer. This bridge officer, who comes with unique nanotechnology augmentations, assists in missions and gains experience as the player does.
•Wal-Mart -- With the Wal-Mart Bonus Skill Points package, receive addition skill points that enable players to improve their characters quickly.
•Target -- Target customers who preorder Star Trek Online receive a unique ground weapon ? a TR-116. This rare projectile weapon is used in dampening fields and other challenging environments; it is also modified with a micro-transporter which beams the fired projectiles to targets at close range so that a user can fire without a direct line of site.
•Direct2Drive -- Direct2Drive customers receive an exclusive Multi-Spatial Personal Shield. This advanced personal shield system is based on Borg technology, which constantly regenerates itself and the health of its wearer.
•STEAM -- STEAM is offering customers Chromodynamic Armor. This armor is based on technology brought back from the Delta Quadrant by U.S.S. Voyager improves the damage and critical hits of energy weapons.

I kinda wanted the Enterprise as having a Cruiser at start will probably make space based mission a bit easier in the beginning. But i also want the Borg as it will be helpful throughout the whole game.

If the borg is useful the whole game I would choose it, poor target... doubt that it is that good...

As a matter a fact are any of them that good???

Before the game even starts I can tell this type of thing is fail. Another item-centric grindfest. I'll probably buy it anyways because it's not like any other Trek MMO is going to come along in the next couple of years.

I guess I will go with the Tribble. I would maybe rather have the borg officer but I don't want to wait for Amazon shipping.
