This is what I know so far.

Normies you get nothing special.
You get some cool(?) gift like pets + extras + cool dance moves if you buy the CE.

And prerelease, you get an extra slot with items in-game. But I don't see any gifts (like pets) on news releases.

So which one has the most items + online gifts + extras algother? Is it prerelease?

..or short version of my question would be, will prerelease version have all the CE stuff + an extra slot?

The prerelease has bonus slot and potentially early access. I contains absolutely nothing the CE does.


list goes CE+prerelease>CE>prerelease+standard edition>standard

Only problem for me is that Gamestop isnt offering the CE with the pre release.

The pre-release has bonus weapons, and one bonus slot that activates when you buy the Retail version of the game (either the CE or the regular edition).

Right now, NO in-game bonuses are officially listed on guildwars.com for the CE.

Hopefully, that will change...

its their tradition... im really thinking itll do with a unique (as unique as kuunavang pet) henchman that we will have access to...

i could be wrong tho because both the other in-game items were to do with emotes usable in a town OR a map

but it makes logical sense to me, so thats my official prediction (id rather have a divine-ish aura tho...)

I don't think that the prerelease was meant for current users IMO.

But I can always buy a slot(which is what the prerelease is basically), and the special items are no better than what you can get at a collector or found. Plus OWNERS of both Prophecies and Factions don't need a trial account.

Prerelease + Retail is a bundling option that EB/Gamestop is doing since I haven't seen many other retailers doing it that way. Also the price is increased because of it.

CE buyers is where the cake seems to be. You get so much stuff in the box this time around. But I don't know if its worth the extra $20.00.

I hope it's the same system as factions, where I bought preorder package (€10 ) in the store, got a coupon of -€10 , and came back for factions CE later. So I just had to pay for the CE. with the preorder goodies.
