Just wanted to get a feel for pre purchases and pre order around here.

could add another vote to normal DE for my husband as well but I am getting the DDE

Nope

I will never preorder/prepurchase an MMO again after the SWTOR fiasco. I normally manage to get into beta events anyway without preordering which is the main reason I used to do it. 

I am waiting until we have full disclosure on what items will be in the cash shop, and we see balanced reviews from real players. 

I'm going to get the standard digital edition. All of the other stuff doesn't interest me. I'm not going to pay an extra $20 for a minipet and some skill which I won't have any use for. Charrzooka FTW! And I never buy CE's. No use for the statue and the art book.

I rather use the money to buy some bank space and that amazing hat.

you can actually prepurchase in germany already... http://www.amazon.de/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_163501747_3?ie=UTF8&docId=1000630223&pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=hero-quick-promo&pf_rd_r=0RZR2VRFRRCKEAQCHWNA&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=290000247&pf_rd_i=B0071MEF38

TBH I completely agree with you. I also don't buy before trying anymore. But, I will make an exception for this game. I have been following it since they first announced it and GW is one of my fav games. I kinda have a bit more trust in Anet. But I completely understand where you are coming from.

Yeah i'll get the digital standard, and then pretend it doesn't exist until it launches.

Getting a Collectors Edition for the lady and a DDE for myself. Will be on the page as soon as it goes live.

Ditto.  I always just get the standard digital.

I won't buy it tommorow, I was planning to do so, but not knowing any possible release date annoys me tbh. I am waiting for the game  for years don't wanna ruin it now with  some weekend betas. And their " it will come in 2012 answer" doesn't really help me much. I hope all of you who buy it , will enjoy the betas. :) 

Standard digital edition for me.  No p2w items in the deluxe or CE!  What were/are they thinking?  Nevertheless, the savings from buying the cheaper edition will allow me to purchase the uber Ringmasters top hat of whoop-ass, from the p2w, er, I mean the CS!  Then all of your circus animals are belong to me!  muahahaha!

For the record, I was going to purchase a CE and two deluxe sets for me and the family, but will only be getting 3 standards after the CS fiasco. So yes, Anet lost some money for even going there from me. Around $130 bucks worth.

You hear that NCSOFT! :)

no wasn't really a fan of the 1st one.

Already bought CE so yes i am:)

What would be the point?

I could see after they announce when Open-Beta starts but until then, what's the point?

Lets hope the pic gets scaled:

should answer the question for me :)

So, you say "CS fiasco", yet you are still buying the game!  Hah!  Fanboi!  You're what's wrong with gaming today my friend!  Don't let the hype fool you Bunks.  The Matrix has you.  Bunks, I am your father.  Oh, wait, what?  I'm sorry, I lost my mind for a minute there.

Oh yes!  I will be buying my wife the DDE while I am ordering the CE for myself.  She turned down a CE for her because the last thing we need is more stuff to clutter up the house.
