Digital Edition. I'm limited to how much I can spend online ($400 a year, and part of it is going towards a computer upgrade) and there's nothing in the more expensive editions I'd really want anyway (well, maybe the art book in the CE). Pre-purchased it this morning when I got up..
What do you get today that you won't get if you wait?
Nothing, really. AFAIK the offer to pre-purchase will still be available for the next weeks (or months) until the game releases. All subject to change, of course.
i actually thought about it and tried to pre-order but i guess there was too much traffic on the site at the time. It worked in my favor though since after thinking about it, I've decided to hold off till atleast NDA is dropped and i see what kind of product I'm really getting and whether or not this game really isn't p2w based on items in their cash shop.
Would bet all my money that it never will be.
GW1 is 7 years old or so, and it "only" sold 6-7 million copies and they did not go pay2win.
Guild Wars have allways had and allways will have the best balanced PvP in any MMO/COOP-RPG(Actually what they called GW1)
I did my preorder this morning. I figure there isn't any other game I want to spend my money on, so why not. Through the years I have spent that money on numerous games, some I loved and some just sucked.
If it sucks then I am out $79.99 that I would have blown on something else. So either way it's ok.

Got the DDE so far, looking to see how to even get the CE from Best Buy. Trapped at work currently so cannot head over there and their website only shows the standard edition. Anyone order the CE from Best Buy yet?
Bought the DDE, a hefty extra price tag as I'm only interested in the mini Rytlock, but I've played the game (eurogamer) and know Anet well from years of playing GW and decided the extra was worth it. A quality MMO with discretionary CS and no sub fees, still winning in cost vs P2P titles.
Played WOW (5 years), AOC, AO, EQ2,AC2, Horizons, Saga of Ryzom, SWG, CO, STO(Beta),ROM, Allods, and many other F2P titles. Asl been in beta for many of the main titles and played countless SP games. I have been gaming for 15+ years!
Man I'm gonna laugh so hard if this turns out to be yet another over hyped fiasco like all the other fail MMOs we've seen recently.
Given the level of fanaticism some of you are displaying I wouldn't be surprised if we get a few suicides to boot.
Its 60 dollars (at least for standard). Even if the game completely sucks (which I highly doubt) that's barely a FAIL. As I've said before no different than buying a console game... except this lasts longer.
Do you get access to the closed betas with any pre purchase or only the 150$ one?
Also is anyone else concerned at the first couple weeks of this game being a huge mob of people going from quest to quest? I think I might restrict myself to only doing personal stories to avoid ruining the experience of the content having 40 other guys doing the starting area dynamic events/quests. Unless they can scale it enough so the enemies have 40+ guys fighting our 40+ guys then I may join em... but thinking it might be better to go off on the instance stuff first to avoid the initial crowd.

You get access to the betas wth any pre-purchase:
All pre-purchase editions include these exclusive bonuses:
Tried to purchase D.D.E but it failed in the final confirmation stage, yet I've been billed by paypal allready and received their confirmation mail about the payment but no GW2 product key so I'm unable to create my account
So I allready got my first experience with NCsoft support. Mailed them and within 10 mins. had reply that support account had been created for me and a ticket# had been generated. Fingers crossed they'll sort out this billing issue very fast but chances are they received a few more tickets today
Answer to the question is yes I pre-purchased, it's just not confirmed by NCsoft yet.
Thats the one! The scam where they deliberately overcharged Europeans with the conversion and when the customers said that they would just purchase the cheaper US version instead they decided to announce region locking.
Sounds like a scam to me.
They also managed to screw over anyone who travels for work or study in the process. Brilliant!

I'll preorder when they tell us the launch date and how many betas we get into. Right now they are selling a pig in a poke.

I will pre-purchase when they remove the region locking scam.

What scam exactly?
