Guild Wars Collector's Edition?

I was just curious how many of you will order the regular boxed Guild Wars 2 or how many of you will purchase the Collector's Edition Guild Wars 2?
Are you the type who just enjoys playing the game without all the little gifts in the box, a few special emotes and start-up weapons... or do you want it all?
We know there will probably be a Guild Wars 2 Collector's Edition because of this quote...
"ArenaNet has recently confirmed, via Twitter, that the art book in the Penny Arcade store will not be coming with the Guild Wars 2 collector's edition box."

If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0

I don't really know if I would because I'm going to pre-order the game and it would seem like a waste of money to buy it again just to get some bonus things as a collectors edition. But if they have something like that guild wars purchasable update that came with mox and the imp then I would probably buy it.
I pre-ordered at Gamestop the week the pre-order was available and am waiting for the CE to be announced so I can upgrade my pre-order ^_^
I'd be a happy bunny, included with the game: Music and a digital copy of the concept art. Otherwise no interest in any other consumer extras or in-game delights. But the above 2 additions would be worth it imo.

This will be my first collectors edition purchase.
Ever.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It will boil down to what alls going to actually be in the collectors edition. I don't care much for in-game stuff. The confirmation that the art book won't be in has me leaning to no, but if the novel is I may. All in all it depends.
I actually almost got the CE for Fable III even though I have no interest in playing it. The reason is that the CE is just nice.
The box it comes in is a fake book with a compartment inside and the outside felt like leather when I held it. The cards looked neat and I wouldn't mind having them and the coin depending on it's weight and the material might be nice to have as well. It would look nice sitting on a shelf.
So all in all it depends, I don't know enough of whats going to be in the CE to decide yet.
Eh, I never go crazy for game soundtracks with CE since you can usually get them online a day or two after it is released (although having the physical copy is always neat if thats what you meant). I would like something physical (even if it's just a poster) as well as a unique in game item (purely aesthetic is fine). Mostly something physical though. It's a shame the art book won't be included in the CE, but I will hope for something that makes up for the decision to leave that out.
Depands whats in it, mostly its pointless fluff so i dont bother.
Same here. I've bought Limited Editions and Game of the Year Editions of games but never a Collector's Edition. Now if they provide enough extras in the Guild Wars 2 CE then I'll definitely get it. If it's anything like the Final Fantasy XIV CE, then I'll just stick with the basic. :P
so you can preorder the game already?
Yes, yes It's mineeeee!
I made the mistake of buying the CE for Conan and WAR, and now the only thing I am collecting is dust.
GW2 is going to be a great game, and a company that depends on box sales alone is going to put out a Collectors Edition. I just don't know if it will be a value to me.
What could turn the tide?
- Unique CE content - whether it be a storyline, costume/ avatar options, emotes (something more than an aura when I dance), customize skills (sort of like Champions where you can change colors and/or emote for ability)
- Behind the scenes - how it all comes together
the rest if fluff - been there done that. not impressed
really depends on what comes with this CE. If it comes at least with a T-shit then im buying, in-game stuff is not really apealling to me, i like to "conquer" this stuff.
now: GW2 (11 80s).
Dark Souls 2.
future: Mount&Blade 2 BannerLord.
"Bro, do your even fractal?"
Recommends: Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, Mount&Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
gw collectors had minipet, exlusive emotes, artbooks and behind the scaenes i belive.
A map and GW2 music and some more creative stuff.
I will.
Bought the Nightfall CE, wasn't fast enough for Prophecies and Factions.
Some 5x7 or 8x10 high-res prints of some of their concept art would be awesome if they included it in the CE.
