That's disappointing. EB Games are selling it in Australia which means they're also selling it in New Zealand. They overcharge game by like 20-30 dollar usually.

@Lucky34760 i2 CPU and 5-6 year old graphic card. That's pretty low, at the same level as WoW.

@(Unverified) But who will pay for a 5 day golem?

@th3gh05t Well said. I'm looking forward to the Patch than the DLC, forgot all about the DLC until recently.

@hizoka0kunI So far the BF3 DLC has been good, with lots of added ingame content. I just hope the new DLC has just as much maps, weapons and vehicles.

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi USAS with Frag as Support. Don't even have to aim, fire at other side of room, let explosion do everything for you and Ammo Kit to give you unlimited ammo while spamming grenades.

@(Unverified) If you pre purchase it, not matter what edition, you get access to all 3 bonus features. All beta access, 3 day headstart, and Hero's Band.

@Lenn Statue and Artbook is the only thing I want in CE : (, don't want to pay 200 bucks NZ for it(could upgrade my graphics card with that money).

@DarkWalker I personally don't fine the DDE worth it. To answer your questions:

1) The Hero's Band is likely a accessory which will last you for about 20-30 levels before being replaced, kind of like the bonus items from GW1. If what I read is correct, it's bound to your account, just like GW1, therefore making new toons will instantly obtain you this item.
2) From what I read on Reddit, this Elite Skill 'may' be a cosmetic variation of another Elite Skill which does the same thing, MistFire Wolf will likely look more awesome.
3) The Chalice, Tome, and Golem Banker are one time use, except the Bank which last for 5 days.
4) The mini pet will likely bound to your account, kind of like what WoW does with their CE pets.

The advantage is permanent, but from what I read is very insignificant. Chalice of Glory seems to be a temporary buff which increase the amount of Glory you obtain, bet you can be bought from cash shop. Tome of Influence is also a one time use(benefits the guild) which can likely be bought through cash shop. Golem Banker only last 5 days, I don't see it being any advantage whatsoever. The only unconfirmed thing is the Elite Skill, but Reddit are claiming it's a cosmetic variation of a existing Elite Skill.

So personally I don't find the DDE to give you any major advantage, they may be permanent, but all about one time use which can likely be bought through cash shop.

@(Unverified) You should really Youtube beta gameplay of the game before you make any decisions. GW2 is very different to GW1 gameplay wise, they have same lore, that's it.
