Yes, they do have some nice things with it. I like the Art Book especially.

Before I buy it is this also the expansion everyone keeps hoping for?

No this is not an expansion, it's just a repackaged version of NWN with lots of goodies for collectors.

The ass munches! They of course couldn't offer any of that neat stuff with my pre-ordered copy could they. I bought the damn thing before it came out in stores and now they give the good junk. GRRRR!

Yeah, thats why I'm giving the game itself as a gift and keeping all the goodies, including the dvd case! ;)

<font color=skyblue>Amen to everything you just said!
Why the heck would I wanna buy another copy of the game just for a shirt and some colorful things? It is not worth it. Their Collectors' Edition has the wrong items to lure in a customer that has already bought the dang thing. And alot of people Do already have the game. So...I do not know what revenue this item will turn up...it'll be interesting to see how well it does on the market. Like mentioned above...they should have added some beat stuff on the CD that you can only get by buying this set. Their marketing team needs to think. </font>

If you remeber they put new stuff on the Baldur's Gate 2 collectors edition cd. Everyone one was complaining so they had to release it on the website. I am planning on buying the collector's cd. I had been wanting the ability to have two CD keys and this is a good reason to get the second key. Plus the shirt is the other thing I want.

LOL! That's why the discs came in paper things! So they could charge u extra for a PROPER CASE! grrrr [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] lol... Just bioware tryin to make more money I guess. not gonna get it...

I guess I should go and look at Bioware financial statement before I say this and get blasted but here goes. I doubt Bioware is just swimming in money. Think about it how many people spent how long coding this game? I am all for supporting a very good game but I would not buy several copies of it if it were not for a good reason. When a good game comes out though I want that company to do well so they make more of what I like. No I do not have tons of money just to spend on games. I feel the heat already coming my way.

OK I just found this so I do not feel that bad.
It came from Bioware's web site under About Bioware.

Founded in 1995, BioWare Corp. is a privately owned Canadian corporation based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk are the Joint CEOs and Co-Executive Producers of BioWare’s game

BioWare currently employs over 135 people

THIS should have come out at the same time as the 'plain' version..

I won't buy it. If they added tons of new art, portraits, tilesets and TONS of good USABLE stuff, I would have.. A t-shirt and some trinkets don't really matter to me..

I've a question for all of you then: I do not have NWN. Would it be worth it to get the collector's edition (as a Christmas present), or would the regular edition be better in my case? I admit, the extra stuff does look pretty cool.

Well it's around a $30 price difference and you do get a DVD case for the disks and other goodies. Otherwise the game itself is exactly the same either way and worth $80 in my opinion.

<font color=skyblue>I agree with Chewie...if I did not have the game yet, and had the money to get this new Collector's Edition without taking food off of my baby's plate, then yes...I would prefer to have the Collector's Edition. It all depends on budget, in my case.</font>
