Well, I have the 2k6 version (as well as the normal, the SE and the CE) but I haven't seen any new weapons/items besides the ones on the first link. Must've missed something then

Someone in this thread posted a link to an online store where the '06 edition is available:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3059575
I understand the confusion though. Since it's announcement, none of the popular online stores (amazon, play, game...) have had this listed.
EDIT: I've also noticed that the store is based in the Netherlands. Hey Marth, are you guys hogging all the copies?

Half the time Canadian stores ship European games anyway because they've usually got French localization. Bilingual regulations, and whatnot. Quebec virtually always has Euro versions. And we rarely get US pre-orders/collector's editions/whatever or the Euro ones.

Reports are mixed on forums. Some report getting 2 access keys instead of one in Euro - Some say they didn't.
Also commenting on the supply thing - Alex Weekes posted (dont remember if it was here, or GWonline) that some stores don't have it merely because they haven't restocked original Guild Wars yet. They won't recieve the newer editions of the original game til they restock it.

No, too bad. There was only 1 access key, which I found after 2 weeks, while searching stuff between my books.

This is what's inside the 2k6 edition:
A: 2 sided poster Necro/Assassin
B: Box with the 2 gamediscs
C: NC Soft catalogue
D: Quick reference card
E: Guild Wars Soundtrack audio cd
F: Manual and lore
G: "Collectible game activation card"
H: Code for bonus items
I: Code for a friend
Sorry for the crappy pic, but my Panasonic VS6 hasn't got a flash.
And here, in the Netherlands, 2k6 is pretty regular. You don't see the SE or standard edition much, let alone the CE.
