Uninformed 'I keep hearing about' remarks don't add anything of value to the discussion.

I'll even hold your hand and take you through this.

(1) We have single disc in a plastic case, good graphics on the case though right?
(2) A flimsy 20 page "manuscript" which I find to be the lowest quality of all the manuscripts released in the previous games because it is just a few pages stapled together. Not to mention you can get it on the website for free.
(3) The incredibly useless Playsmart tips slip.
(4) The standard NC Soft games catalogue that hasn't changed for 2 years.
(5) Trial codes for Lineage and City of Heroes. Real big surprise there.

Can you really tell me that it was worth it?

6) 33% cheaper than the online store, without requiring to bend over backwards to even find a way to pay for it.

I actually got the BMP despite ANet's best efforts to make it an unfavorable deal, and it disgusts me.

Worthless eye-candy. No replay value whatsoever, just a bigger drag everytime you have to play through one of those 'missions' to score another weapon. Solo play with builds absolutely set in stone regardless of your character's profession? Anyone who'd want to actually pay for this should have his or her head examined. It's no more than 3 or 4 hours of entertainment, and that's stretching it. A glorified cinematic, that's what it is.
