I just found a listing for "Guild Wars: The Complete Box Set" on GAME (UK) for £99.99! Will this be all the collectors editions by any chance because £100 for all 4 games is an over price!
Does anyone have any info on this? Oh, and here is a link to the item.
Complete box set? £100?

I doubt the CE's are given out again, as they were a one time offer back in the days.

There must be *something* else extra in that box to make it worth that much, because going by GAME's prices, the three campaigns and the EP comes to £58.
They do also still sell the Factions + NF CEs so could possibly include them. Plus they're fairly easy to obtain from anywhere. The Prophs one is of course rarer than rocking-horse poop so most likely wont be included.
I guess the only way to be sure exactly what you're getting is to a) contact 'em or b) Wait 'til its released and see what goodies it comes with.

Have to wait and see and I know how hard it is to get an original CE. I managed to get one from amazon.co.uk back in 2006, infact, I have all preorder boxes and CE's 
.
I hope it is something special though, for that price it has to be.

Again, it could possible be the Nightfall and Factions CE's as a lot of them still seem to be floating around, but it is almost totally impossible to get the Prophecies one, it went out of print a long time ago, and they've said they aren't going to re-release it. When they appear on eBay, they go for well over £100, I can't imagine Game has suddenly found some spare and decided to sell them off here.

I think it more likely that they don't know the actual price yet and so are just using £99.99 as an (very) rough estimate until more info is available, they don't even have a release date up yet, it may be speculation on their part that such an item will one day be available.
Additionally if they were sold at their original RRP the sum would be over £100 I believe which may explain the pricing.

if this is the boxset that was rumoured and showed around around EotN release by Gaile then this will be worth it with the art books and other jazz that'll be in it
Maybe Regina could shed some light on this?

I think there are some concepts arts or something in it, but stil, that is around 40 bucks more than buying them apart from each other?

this was advertised about a year ago, then it dissapeared off the face of the earth.
i noticed it had re-appeared on game.co.uk recently but before it had artwork for the box (was a big cube)

And the limited collectors edition doesn't exactly give you any kind of unqiue content, besides special glowing hands, where as the BMP had four totally unique missions, and a boat load of new weapons skins that they were flaunting around the main districts.

Imagine the epic QQ that would come about if this included Prophecies CE?
I have all CE's but I wouldn't care if it did, I like divine aura because it looks cool, not because it is unique and rare.
Might not be CE but some other exclusive maybe. It makes sense for them to do that though, as far as making a quick buck is concerned. How many people want the exclusive stuff (e.g. divine aura)? And what if the only way they can get it is to spend £100?
£££ -> A-Net <- £££
(I know people will say a silly exclusive isn't worth £100, but they justify the price by including 4 games).
Of course this all speculation, I imagine it is just an estimate price, and it will come down.

I'm just trying to make the point that they can change their mind about anything. Perhaps these would be a new Collector package with a different glow for your hands or some other way of identifying a collector.

crazy price, and what incentive for those who already have the games
