The content list still ends with "and more" so I'd say it's safe to assume there will be an emote but the haven't finished it yet or just aren't ready to announce it.

ce is $110 here, normal is $70, most brand new console games are $100, most pc games are $90 the xbox 360 is $800 for basic model, people... it costs 45cents per minute to ring someone on a mobile, i pay 50 bucks a month for broadband internet that is always down, slow, shitty.

I dunno about that, they always kinda add, "and more" cause well they will leave out somethin small or whatever.

I would think they would mention "special in-game content" or something or emote or whatever if they gonna offer it. Plus, when they released factions' info, they released the contents the same day. So hey I have my ears and eyes open but I'm worried nontheless.

Both of those are Nikas...one's just kinda flopped over backward and the glare rather obscures the picture on it.

Oh ya, I had forgot about that screenshot there. I was just assuming it was a Paragon on the CE box since there was already a Dervish on the non-CE box. Kinda like from the screenshots I saw the CE of Factions had the Ritualist and the non-CE had Nika on it. That armor looks pretty sweet on the box art but nasty in-game. I wonder how close that screenshot was to the final version of the armor, and if there will be a 15k similar to it

led-zep · Sep 03, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

so another thing that wont get taken out of the box like the crap stickers and mousemat in factions CE.
would rather not have cruddy fillers like this and get a few quid off to be honest, art book was nice though.
those standees do look rubbish and cheap, heres a tip, dont buy CE just print out a picture, cut it out and mount it on cardboard, instant CE standee.

Xenrath · Sep 04, 2006, 11:06 AM // 11:06

Hmm small cardboard cutout isn't really all that big a deal. You can easily make one yourself lol just find appropriate picture, put it on some card... cut it out, and presto! "special" standee.

edit: ledzep beat me to it

Shoitaan · Sep 04, 2006, 12:39 PM // 12:39

That standee thing is terrible - thx for the pic btw.

I know a lot of people were saying 'wtf am I going to do with stickers and a cloth picture' for the Factions CE but honestly I'd prefer a cloth picture over a crappy standee thing like that...

Their marketing/merchandise team is terrible ;_;

Dante the Warlord · Sep 04, 2006, 12:46 PM // 12:46

Awwww i thought they meant minipet

o well.... at least i didn't preorder Nightfall CE

Raziel665 · Sep 04, 2006, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Why would I want a mini-standee when I have a full sized one of Eve in my room?

just keep the 'mini standee' safe from harm until you can sell it for 30 bucks on ebay.

its memorabilla-> unlike your actuall account, anet wont own the cardboard once you have it, so sell away!

Its like skill pins- i was gonna get some on ebay when i saw they were like $5, but a day after I bid it was already like $30 so I said forget it.

The CE will pay for itself if you work it right.

Personally, I enjoy whatever crap they throw in those things. If you dont like it, well theres always ebay
$30 skill pins
$10-20 standee (someone out there will buy it)

Another thing to look at is Amazons price for the original Strat Guide for GW1- even used ppl are selling it NP for $50-60 bucks even in crappy condition.

so, get it now for 13 and after you are done using it, sell it in a year for $50

Itll all pay for itself in the end. Thats my view.

Wow, true ebay wisdom have spoken! Obey or die!!

lol, anyway... not so interested in standee, but the artbook is something that I kind of "have to" get. I hope that artbook have better picture size this time.

i got overnight shipping on my CE, so I basically paid 80 bucks for it.
But hey, I will enjoy every second of playing the very first day NF is online... and I will enjoy all the little toys that come with it.

Way off topic here, but don't you people have any physical stores or something? Saves on shipping and stuff...

I have a gamestop across the street from my appartment.

"Hmmm...should I pay $10 for overnight shipping, or just walk across the street and get it for free?"

I usually end up driving over there...
