Just Adamantium Armor, Area Effect Arrows, Bitter Coast Sounds, Entertainers, Helm of Tohan, LeFemm Armor, Master Index, Siege at Firemoth, Fighter's Stronghold, Horse Armor, Mehrunes' Razor, Orrery, Spell Tomes, Thieves Den, Vile Lair and Wizard's Tower. Not much.
Of course, the Morrowind plug-ins are all free, and I assume there won't be compatibility issues with them. Oblivion DLC, however, has historically been an utter pain to deal with in any legal way. I don't think the original installers even work with the Steam version of the game, and obtaining Fighters Stronghold without Steam is now impossible I believe. Luckily they're all available on Steam with the "gold/complete/ultimate edition" or whatever it is. Seems like Bethesda is only packaging the GOTY edition in this release though.
Qoute from the site: "Exciting news today for Elder Scrolls fans. On September 10th (and September 13th in Europe), we’ll be releasing The Elder Scrolls Anthology on PC. This premium box set (shown above) includes all five main games from the series – Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim – as well all the official add-ons and expansions for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim."
In that case, it's worth every single penny! I really hope this won't be for a limited amount of time and will continue to be available for at least 5 years as I would love to be able to own the entire TES franchise(the main games) in one box with the maps.

So I don't know what you are complaining about?
Further down the page: "Also includes: Tribunal and Bloodmoon add-ons, plus The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.""Also includes: Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions." No mention of the others. There are also no additional discs for the DLC in the images. We'll have to wait and see, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
If only I had something more powerful than a two year old laptop, I would snap this up in a moment. Though I already have all the games except Skyrim on my laptop so I would probably be wasting money but whatever, it's the Elder Scrolls.

Well, in the picture I believe there is the Legendary Edition.
IS the lack of Oblivion plug-ins really that much of a problem? Ok, the lack of the Razor DLC is a disappointment. But the house plug-ins are kinda pointless on PC because of the ability to build your own house using the construction set.
What you are basically getting is Skyrim and DLC with the other games as extras. If you hadn't got PC Skyrim already it's a good deal. Battlespire and Redguard were probably left out because they are notorious for failing to work on any machine newer then the games. Apparently they came in at the tail end of the DOS era, so they are too intensive for smooth emulation but don't work without DOS.

Considering that's like €15 worth of hard-to-obtain content being excluded, it's kind of an issue.
I've never understood why Steam chose to not make the smaller expansions to Oblivion available. They're still on the Xbox Marketplace, not sure about PSN, but still, I don't see why they're not available. With all of the micro-transactions on Steam, and XBL's dislike of small DLCs it seems, you'd think it would be the other way around.

I don't think anyone will be too mad if they don't get armor for their horse. It isn't theat big of a issue, and you are still getting the meaty DLC's and all the games for 80 dollars. Still a great deal.
I have everything except Arena and Daggerfall, I might consider it if they make them work without dos. But still a great collecters piece or Elder Scrolls starter kit, either way it's a great price for those two options.

My roommate and I are both planning on getting this. He's going to get the maps framed and put them up in our living room, which is good, because if he isn't going to I will.
Confirmed on BethBlog that it's the GOTY version of Oblivion on the disc, although they supply a Steam code for the deluxe edition. Wonder if this was added post-announcement.

Well you can get Daggerfall and Arena for free as it is, just use DosBox to run them and they should play fine.
Is it cost-effective, though? I have base Morrowind and Oblivion, but not the expansions or Skyrim. Would it be worthwhile to get this, or other editions instead?

It would be worth your money, as far as I can tell.

Let's compare costs of what you don't have vs. the Anthology.
Anthology - $79.99
Skyrim - $29.99
Dawnguard - $19.99
Hearthfire - $4.99
Dragonborn - $19.99
Oblivion GOTY Deluxe (the only other way to get all the DLC and plug-ins on PC) - $29.99
Morrowind GOTY (the only other way to get all the DLC on PC) - $19.99
Total - $124.94 (all the Skyrim stuff by itself is $74.96)
I thought so, but then seeing the things that didn't come with it had me wondering. I'll have to start dropping very heavy hints to family members... A hammer ought to do the trick...
I preordered it the first day I was able to. Huzzah!
Huzzah!
