http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...367%26_fvi%3D1

Could this be a veiled attempt at free advertising by the OP for something he/she is trying to sell on e-bay?

Dunno. (I sure wouldn't be letting the world know about this thing if I were interested in buying it)

I've seen prophecies collector's editions on ebay before go for like 200$ and up. Good thing I just shelled out the 60$ when it first came out.

The guy has a reserve price on it, so I'm 100% sure that if you bid under at least 150GBP you won't be getting it. He just started it low so you'd all get your hopes up.

It is still nine days to go, so a lot of time for the price to go up.

^That. Unless op fails at Ebay.

Either way, no the games aren't region specific. You should be able to add the key to your account. Mind you, you'll get no extra bonuses but the Divine Aura(if you already have Prophecies) and whatever else is physically in the box.

I'm surprised Anet doesn't put the CE for sale again seeing that some ppl would pay a lot just for shining hands

Or at least put the shining hands upgrade

Defeats the point of a collector's edition. Reissuing it, any part of it, is a hard slap in the face of the people who supported Anet and brought it the first time around.

Advertising. OP was 'stupid' enough to post a link to the item instead of just asking, so he's either the biggest shit-for-brains moron on the internet or advertising.

BMP anyone? That was a slap if ever there was one. They may as well slap the other half of the player base.

I remember an exactly similar thread. That OP found several Prophecies CE's for sale in a different language and asked the Guru community for the same advice.

Needless to say it made a great opportunity for people to get their hands on a cheap CE.

Oh and in answer to your question: I believe it doesn't matter if the game is from another region. You only need the keycode.

EDIT: Lol @ OP. Read the discription on the Ebay page:

All of the materials inside come in french as that is where I bought the CE, however when I bought it I also bought one for myself and after both personal experience and a letter from ArenaNet, I can confirm it is regional free. the access key can be used on european, american, or any other account.

Even if they reissue the divine aura, the players who bought it originally would still have enjoyed several years of the emote being exclusive, the early ones to get the BMP weren't allowed exclusivity for very long.

He probably has a ridiculously high reserve for it anyway. Wouldn't surprise me.

Post-GWFC GW has been a slap in the face to everyone in the PvP community. It's not a new idea.

I've been playing for 2 years and I've never heard of it, nor never noticed this on characters' hands. Nice. I guess. I'm not paying 400 quid though, that's for sure.

400 for glowy hands? but at least the OP's is the cheapest by far.

I find it amusing people will pay so much money just for Divine Aura, what a waste of money.

But BMP isn't a CE. And while yes, that was wrong of them to cave in, they can get away with it since Anet never said they won't offer it again. CE's on the other hand are numbered and have a limited production run.

Um, just what about the BMP was a slap in the face? Did they ever say that the BMP was "exclusive" to anyone, or any sort of "special edition". (Hint - the answer is NO.)

Or are you saying it was a slap in the face to make other people pay for what you got for free? I know I always get upset when someone gets to pay for the drink that I got free with the burger and fries

Whether or not the OP is advertising, I'm not sure. I suggest the removal of the link.
