Stupid question about GR

Alright, with all the rambling and wild mass guessing and paranoid ranting I've been hearing here and there from some very vocal minorities, I'm having minor difficulties figuring out what's truth and what's baseless rumormongering.

My question is, hopefully, rather straightforward:
Will there be a downloadable version of the complete GR? Not the pre-purchase one, but the complete one with the extra month and bonus items that's coming out in July(?). I've been hearing mentions of a boxed edition but worryingly nonexistant talk of electronic versions.

Due to reasons I won't get into here, obtaining a boxed edition would be difficult for me. Should I just preorder it now while it's in the online store and buy the bonus pack later? I've been holding out so far because I heard the complete pack will give you more bang for your buck (a free month of play among other things).

I've only recently come back to the game and haven't been keeping up to date with this sort of info, you see. Clarifications from someone in the know would be most appreciated.

I'm pretty sure there will be. In fact this side of the pond I thought digital download was the only way to get it when it was announced (may have changed since).

Col, unless your on the US server aswell as the EU server... I would not even wonder about a boxed edition. We in the EU will not get a boxed edition.
There will however be a Collectors edition that we can buy, instead of the just prepurchase one. In that collectors edition there will be an extra goodie pack, which those who buy the prepurchase do not get. Unless they buy it seperatly.

In the end it comes down to this.
If you prepurchase GR you can create Duel pistoleers and Demon summoners for several months before GR goes gold (july?).
Would you want to play them for months before launch or wait until GR goes live and get a free month and THEN play them?

So repeat, at the moment there is no way for the EU custom base to get a boxed edition. We can only get a "downloadable"/unlockable prepurchase/Collectors edition.

Or, to cut through all the dithering and tangental issues, yes, there will be a downloadable version of Going Rogue with all the goodies.

The GR CE, as so far mentioned, is CoH + CoV + GR + 30 days play time (so, it's good for a new player). GR regular (and the prepurchase is just regular) is just GR - you must have an active subscription to make any use of it.

There may be stuff in the physical box, and there may be in-game stuff to come with the CE, but no dev has mentioned it.

There will also be an online-only $10 upgrade from GR regular to GR CE, but unless there are in-game goodies I'm not sure what the benefit is, since there would be no physical goodies if any exist (the upgrade is online-only) and to my understanding the upgrade doesn't include the 30-day play time. I suppose if someone purchased regular GR, got an account set up, and then wanted to go someone aside from Praetoria... or there's something else in GR CE.

The Complete Collection edition has the following in-game items which are not in the Expansion:
• Alpha and Omega themed costumed sets
• Alpha- and Omega-themed auras
• Four stance emotes
• The Shadowy Presence invisibility power

There will be a pack available to buy those items for people who bought the Expansion version. The price of that pack has not yet been set. Information taken from here.
