You certainly can have a collector's edition without "the making of" and a soundtrack. In fact, I'd say the majority of them don't even have those things. When I buy a limited edition there's only three things I want in any combination (all is best, of course):
1. An art book
2. A making of DVD or book
3. A soundtrack
Here's an example. I got the Gears of War collector's edition that came in a tin with a book and making of DVD. I got the Gears 2 collector's edition that came with a steelbook, art book, and making of DVD. I did NOT get the Gears 3 limited edition because it came with a replica medal, flag, character skin, and other "memorabilia" that I don't give a crap about. The Epic edition came with an art book but it was $150 because it included a statue. Same with Skyrim– would have gotten it if it didn't get a price hike to $150 because it came with a statue I don't want. Ditto for Borderlands 2. Give me crap I want! If you're going to put out 3 versions, at least pack some good stuff in the middle one.
ANYWAY, my point is that the GW2 collector's edition is a good value.
