No don't get that excited, it's not Prophecies....
However, they are offering "Rare" CE's of Nightfall and Factions in the online store now. Which makes me wonder if any Prophecies CEs will ever turn up.
http://eu.plaync.com/eu/news/article...now_available/
I cannot back this up, as it was a conversation with someone who was manning an NCSoft stand at "Collectormania" (an autograph convention thing in Milton Keynes). But he told me that they still have Prophecies CEs in a warehouse in Germany. He was probably just winding me up though. ;-)
Kinda gives the lie to the "They'll never go on sale again" mantra though doesn't it? Not that either of the above are "rare", I've seen both in stores pretty much ever since they came out.
Anyway, if people want to grab a cheap CE, these are only 20 quid now as opposed to £45 on the high street.

For the record, no I don't have the first CE with the DA, and I'm not bothered if they don't put it up. But I'd probably buy it if they did. If I did have it, it wouldn't bother me if other people had access to it, I have both of the others and couldn't care less if more people can get a Kuunie or a funky dance.

feh, the Special edition should of had something in-game other than free unlocks (which arent really worth it, since you would only start PvP when you get abit better, and by then getting Balth faction should be too hard ;P)

the collectors Edition came with a Headset, the soundtrack, the art book pt.1, and the aura.
Special edition came with the art book pt.2, the soundtrack, and some free unlocks.

Buying a used key breaks the EULA doesn't it?

Fairynuff. Though it might be cheaper to get the SE if the art books are the same, no idea if they are. I have the SE and it's a small book, not like the Factions and Nightfall art books, but still quite a lot in it.

How much was it worth on launch btw?
Headphone quality good?

So... Can you only get the sexy hands by having the original Proph. Collectors edition? Or is there another way to acquire them?

In holland i believe it was 49.99 euro for normal prophecies edition and 59.99 euro for CE prophecies when i bought it when game was released.
+ i preordered the damn thing for 10e and got the american pre order canthan targe thing. But because i preordered i got 5euro discount on the CE.
so in total it cost me 64,99 for preorder key + CE proph key. And there were a lot of them!

Figured as much. Oh well, thanks.

I bought Nightfall CE this week for 40 at gamestop/Ebgames. You have to find a store with it, not the online place since the only copies around are those that haven't been sold yet in the stores. http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=61897

If they have any of the original collector's edition lying around they could probably get a lot for it if they sold it via a charity auction.

In my opinion if everyone could get Divine Aura then it wouldn't be special anymore, it would just be another dumb thing that everyone has. Just like everything else in the game.
Here when Guild Wars was released it costed 50$ USD for regular, and 75$ USD for CE Edition I think, was a good idea to spend a little extra on it.

I don't think it would be so bad if they put up the Prophecies one again, as a limited run or something.

If this is NOS (new old stock), then it's no problem.
If these are a rerelease...
I recommend violence.

As my Factions collectors edition arrived today from the plaync merchandise store (UK), I can confirm that adding the code does unlock the miniature kuunavang.
And to answer the question about rushing, you can guarantee it's not used (unlike online auction sites), there's a limited number and it's cheaper than the price you suggest from online auction sites.

Mostly I just posted this because a) they're cheaper than high street prices and b) a lot of people don't like to buy software from eBay, myself included. But like I said, if there are any Proph editions hanging around in NCSoft's coffers, ya never know. Unlikely, but not impossible.
w00t!

Of course, the real bonus is the divine aura, something that didn't seem such a big deal at the time. But 3 years later I'm pretty glad I have it. And the only way I wouldn't seriously /whine if they sold it in-store is if it were A) Expensive and B) The proceeds went to charity.

Hench the name Collector's Edition, it is for those truly wanting to add a little flair to the game. It would a bit disappointing for those who actually bought the collector's and then to see a flood of flirt-mentalists all over presearing. Divine Aura is a sign of devotion to spend the cash to get a little perk with the emotes.
Heck, I bought the original and then the Collector's Edition for both Prophecies and Factions. After being stressed and annoyed from a particular MMORPG, and seeing the wonders and no-online-fees and such easy and relaxing enviroment Guild Wars offered, I couldn't help but to search for this item.
Consider this: how much of the time you play involves using emotes? Other than to dance on that poor assassin in AB or to fail Rock, Paper, Scissors against Mad King Thorn, it is not such a big thing to worry about.
It is also like festival hats, you miss it, then too bad. Once the once-in-a-game-time opportunity shows up, it is the player's responsibility to get what they want.
Also, would you want to spend a lot of cash for something you would use until Guild Wars 2 comes out? I mean that game is coming in the near future, and it probably is a better idea to save the money for any Collector or Special Editions that may appear.
Be grateful for a game without the online fees, spawn-camping, pop culture references, and a game in which money is to get what you want (instead of repairing weapons/armor).
But one things for sure: You cannot turn in a stack of Mud Bricks for Divine Aura. xD

I still think he was winding me up, this was about a year ago but I never posted it as it's only my word, and I didn't fancy the flamewar.

Im rather glad the original prophecies CE isnt on the site, i own it and if everyone would be able to buy it the devine aura loses its exclusivity, and people would be pissed.

Quick Clarification
Orignail Guildwars has full size art book (not cd holder size) and game with "Divine Glow" effect with your account. This is an effect that show up doing an emote. The "Soundtrack" was just a standard Audio CD. No DirectSong version.
SE GuildWars does not have divine glow, has the "mini" art book but has a very special DirectSong code that gets you the GuildWars OST and 4 sound tracks you can not get by any other means. and 7 normal skill / 1 elite unlock code (to get that skill bar build you want unlocked for pvp from start).
