Well i was lucky enough to land my grubby mit's on NightFall CE today from EB-Games here in Australia. As per expected the Servers will not be open to 27th.

Let me say. The packaging and content's of Nightfall CE, is nothing short of

OUTSTANDING!!.

The entire presentation is just awe inspiring!. The most lavishly packaged game ever!.

The poster's are of such high quality material, they are almost laminated!. With waxy shine. The art book is of same quality as seen in FACTIONS CE.

There are 3 DVD's, in a thick,high-gloss cardboard holder, and just look DAMN HOT!..

Ton's of other little goodies, and a super cute black velvet pouch with string, that has 2 metal "spell" icons.

Arenanet should be praised for this sort of "extra mile" effort and perfection of

presentation!.

Anyone with a passing interest in good design, will be dribbling at the sides.

Lets just hope the content matches the presentation then.

Just got it on my lunchbreak
Had to work again so i didn't got a chance to see the inside yet .... grr

But is it just me or is the box smaller/thinner then prophecies and nightfall?
Can't wait till i'm done working

Comparing my three boxes (US Prophecies CE, EU Factions CE and Nightfall CE)...

Nightfall is the thinnest box, and Factions is the fattest.

Other dimensions are all equal.

Sjekster · Oct 25, 2006, 01:38 PM // 13:38

The box is a little bit thinner, but the length / width is exactly the same

Nice box indeed, finally a decent case for the game cd's / dvd's

Btw, anyone noticed the URL for the bonus music doesn't work (yet)?

And why is there no introductory movie for Nightfall, like with Prophecies and Factions?

Sjekster · Oct 25, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

@ immortius: My Factions and Prophecies boxes are exactly the same size, including thickness. Dunno why you say Factions is thicker?

Dazzler · Oct 25, 2006, 01:47 PM // 13:47

I don't have NF yet, but my Factions CE box is *slightly* thicker than my Prophecies CE box.

Mortis · Oct 25, 2006, 01:49 PM // 13:49

I also got my CE today. I've got to say it's very well made.
I especially liked the art book.

Well done Arenanet!

Shani · Oct 25, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

I was just as impressed with CE content as you guys were. Everything is so glossy and shiny. I loved CD case the most, it looks great on my shelf now.

BTW My faction box is bigger. NF box looks more compact.

Sheriff Bullock · Oct 25, 2006, 10:41 PM // 22:41

Is the art book annotated like the Prophecies one?

Malice Black · Oct 25, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

I never paid attention to the boxes, I entered the key code then bin the rest of the rubbish..I don't do clutter.

Shani · Oct 25, 2006, 11:19 PM // 23:19

I haven't noticed any annotations in the art book. The only annotations are the names of the people who drew those pictures I think.

Angel Develin · Oct 26, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

I realy enjoyed the "making of" dvd
The art book rocks.
The poster is just wow

The only thing i do not like is the size of the box,
is a bit smaller then the other 2 so it's not a perfect set. *runs for cover*

kazjun · Oct 26, 2006, 12:53 AM // 00:53

The "making of" was pretty interesting, was hoping for more of a sneak peek at new armours and weapons but it was still nice all the same.
The artbook is nicely done, again, was hoping for some more concept art for armours and weapons but I guess I'll just have to wait. Shows a lot of the landscapes and monsters concepts though.
Skill pins are fun, did everyone only get just paragon and dervish skills? Was there any other classes skills given out?
Love the map, going to stick it to the wall next to my comp for easy travel

llsektorll · Oct 26, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

i only wish the pins were of different skills.... i mean im a hardcore fan as the next guy i don't really consider myself a nerd or a geek or a goth or a gansta im just a normal professional guy who likes to have fun. I'd walk around with the pin on me but Vow of Silence?? Its Just a Flesh Wound?? i'd get more awkward stares than anything.... i'd rather have something like Avatar of Grenth so i can tell the guy next to me which its so HOT!!! ..

Gairoh · Oct 26, 2006, 06:58 AM // 06:58

just cant wait to get mine tomorrow!!! i'd be very disappointed if the EB here dont have it yet.....i'm just pretty excited about the whole thing!!!

the factions/nightfall art book compared to prophecies CE artbook, is not that great
