Buying the Box, and buying In-game.

What am I missing out when when I buy from the In-game store rather than buying the box?

I know that if I buy the box, I'll miss out on the bonus mission pack, but what does the boxed version of EoTN include?

It usually contains a manual and a map / quick reference card.

Basically you just don't get the physical objects. GW:EN came with a map, a very short manuscript, a tiny catalog that shows some games from NCSoft and some trial codes. But you can get the map and the manuscript from the Guild Wars website, it's the same thing. I just like having the physical box itself and the content inside so that's why I bought mine from Game Stop and I wasn't too interested in the bonus mission pack either.

I don't know if your talking about GW:EN, but my Nightfall box came with a map, a poster, a 130+ manual, and a reference card. I imagine it would be similer for any of the other GW games.

Hope I helped.

lol, take a bike ride to the store if it's nearby! That's what I would do but I don't live too close to Game Stop.
