Good news! We can upgrade to the DDE later, if we buy the SE or DE:

For those of you asking, yes you will be able to upgrade from standard to Digital Deluxe, it will be linked within your account! ^AT

That's awesome!!! I didn't get my copy yet, I'm waiting for the retailer to start selling physical copies (not CE) but I want to ask, will I be able to upgrade to DDE from physical copy?
Sorry for bad English.
Thats the idea, in GW1 there were packs to upgrade your game to deluxe editions and get all the digital goodies, i think they are doing the same here.
The tweet doesn't specify that its just the Digital SE that can be upgraded, so I would assume than any SE will be able to be upgraded. It makes perfect sense and every other MMO I can think of that has offered something like a DDE has offered an upgrade for a limited time after launch. This is just the first official confirmation and I have been asking for a few weeks now.

I would expect that you will be able to upgrade from a physical boxed edition. I have been able to do that with other mmos in the past (RIFT for example).
I have to wait until the boxed version is available as I have to use mobile broadband and downloading digital versions is not practical for me as it would use up all my allowance. Can't say I'm all that bothered about beta or headstart but would like the extra gear goodies.
Question is, for £15, why would you want to? An elite skill you'll be able to get in game, a ring that is worthless, a pet, a couple of small one shot bonuses. Only a mobile banker, that will be bought on the shop for less than £15 is about I see of any value. Even then, with the instant porting, what value does a mobile bank actually have either?
Looking forwards to the game and will have it purchased when I finish work, but still..
isnt it like, 6 am in US anyway?

I can say that the DDE doesn't worth the money for me. OK it gives a miniature (pet) but just look at this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Miniature so many miniatures over there. Now for the elite skill, if you make a human (as I'm going to do) you can choose Balthazar as your god, the god of fire, and then you get this at some point of the game: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hounds_of_Balthazar its an elite skill that summons two fiery hounds, I think that's much better than simple wolf... I'm going to buy physical copy because I'm afraid I can't download the client with my internet connection, but I'll still like to have the DDE just not to miss anything.
Sorry for bad English.
I couldn't quite get myself to buy the DDE outright, but glad I'll have the upgrade option later, if I want it. Hopefully more details will be coming out about the bonus items, so we can make a more informed decision on their value. As is, we no next to nothing. We don't even know if the items are per account/per character, or a mix of the two depending on which item we are talking about.
