yeah i know its early to be thinking bout it but...well Chp1 and Chp2 collectors editions were both delayed (not enough were produced was the excuses) and Im wondering if Chp3 is gonna suffer the same fate. I mean we preorder so they should already know how many they need to fulfil the preorders right? Im an impatient person and really really dont want to cancel another collectors edition order cause of inadequat numbers again.

Cheer up. If it's delayed, maybe Anet will give those people patient enough a 100,000 gold Pet.

Seriously, I hope the collector edition comes with a bonus pet, regardless if comes out on time or not. I'd actually prefer that to a unique dance that doesn't even stack with the Original CE aura.

It was delayed for some. Here in the UK we got the collection's Edition on time.

I enjoyed wooing people ingame with my backup dancers as most people didn't have CE Factions on release.

I expect we'll get another dance, or some special emote for the Dervish and Paragon, but we may get a pet as well

btw you can have backup dancers and DA together, you just have to do another emote before /dancenew, eg /bowhead /dancenew; /dance /dancenew

Well as I spoke with the manager of EBgames/Game Spot nothing has been realeased for a Collectors Edition yet and a new date was slated for its released as of Oct 17 2006 he did say if I order a regular Nightfall and A Collectors Edition comes out I can change the order to the Collectors Edition. And I don't mind what they give for the this Collector Edition.. I am always up to a good surprise

Lets say this one more time. Any date, unless specified by Anet/NCSoft, is STRICTLY A GUESS. As for the Nightfall CE being late, ANet/NCSoft knows they had a problem there last time, I'd expect that they sorted out the issues since then and everything should arrive on time.

the CE is the full game just like SE
CE= collector's edition (get extra items IRL and game)
SE= standard edition
SE is what most people get when they buy a game.

the date hasn't been announced officially

I thought Holland was Euros now?

If so, .77 Euros = $1 American

So, if Factions CE cost $60, then it'd be $46.56 Euros.

I don't think Nightfall will cost more than Factions, but I could be wrong.

i already have a confirmed order on the regular edition full game including all the extra items for 49.99 plus tax/s&h.

same price as Factions so i think the CE will be the same as well which was generally 20 dollars US more or 69.99 dollars US

Ack! Looks like I was wrong again. Actually, $50 seems to be the going rate for games nowadays, so that makes sense.

In that case, the CE will be about €54.

If its really that cheap then anyone in the UK gets ripped off, like always. In the UK the normal edition costs £30(thats roughly $55, $5 more than in the US) and the CE costs £50(roughly $90, $20 more than in the US). Its the same case when it comes to Euros too. If its really going to be around €54 then thats £40 which is £10 cheaper than the UK.

tbh, we always get ripped off from the American company that dunno how to set up the price as well as the high tax rate.

it is called a changing currency exchange rate which was explained in the dev forum.

when the exchange rate was reversed some time back you got the bargain prices

Strange. Why don't Europeans simply order their games from American websites? Do they not ship overseas?

I guess the shipping would be expensive... but a €20 difference?

Even with exchange rate of 1:1.4, we still need to pay £50 * 1.4 = $70. and 1:1.4 is a pretty low exhange rate.

Well hopefully they get it right this time. My local futureshop has like 4 factions CE's sitting on the shelf, with undoubtedly tons more sitting in the back or at the main warehouse. ANET dropped the ball with the factions CE ordering not enough for the initial demand and by the time they made more, the demand plummetted due to people just dumping CE for the regular version. So I'm sure they'll have it all figured out this time...... maybe.

I'm assuming you're referring to ArenaNet, as NCSoft is a South Korean company. At any rate, I'm not sure at what level things like pricing is set.

i got bored of waiting for my CE... wont make that mistake again... If its delayed a week, then fine.. but Im pre-ordering ASAP so hopefully ill be near the front of the line....

I think in most cases, tho- people that got the CE from a store rather than Amazon,etc were the ones to actually have the game when they were supposed to... that way even when its released you dont wait for shipping

It is possible stack auras from both CEs. Type /Dance and then /DanceNew and you'll have both auras, for anyone that doesn't know.

Yes, my mistake about that. I don't even have the Factions CE...

but I'll try to get the Nightfall one. Geez, I'm such a sucker...

I'm imagining we'll get the ST again, since we did for the first two, and honestly for me that is the biggest draw card.

Beware of that I've heard stories about not being able to "upgrade" to the CE from EBgames when you do a pre-order like this.

I actually have no idea what I'm talking about, since we don't know how much the CE costs, and I don't know how much they'll charge overseas anyway, it's impossible for me to say how much the CE will cost in Holland.

Yeah I can see this maybe being delayed like the other two, but maybe not. I just hope that they actually get them in the retail stores like EB or Best Buy (and I don’t mean the online stuff). Last time all I could pre-order was the standard edition and not its counterpart. However I could have ordered the CE online from EB, but I really did not want to hassle with online ordering (and still don’t). Finally about a month or two later I was able to get it from Fry’s and no one else for its standard running price of $69.99.
