So, a friend (plays on TQ normally) who's currently on vacation in China thought it would be a good idea to pick up a retail box of it while he was there. Apparently, the box was pretty and it only cost him 28 RMB (something like 3.50 USD, 2.75 EUR :P)
He's uploaded a bunch of photos of the box they get over there to evefiles, and I'm posting these for him.
In any case, it comes in a nice shiny metal box:
Exterior Box
Interior Box
The package comes with the install CD, a card printed with an access key, and a comprehensive manual. (Something an English release could use :P)
Contents
Full Contents
Manual
Manual Contents
The color manual (~150 pages) is apparently significantly more detailed than anything new players to TQ can get:
Manual 1
Manual 2
-This page is apparently a tutorial to the "Aura" Tutorial TQ gets. How ironic :P
Their manual comes with a pretty useful "what to do in your first hour of EVE" section, and pages 20-88 are filled with details older players often take for granted, both of which should probably be translated back to English and posted here somewhere.
Manual 3
-This page details the characteristics of the different ship chassis available on release for EVE China. From what I understand, (based on what he says the manual says) EVE-CN is releasing with:
Rookie Ships, Shuttles, Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, BattleCruisers, Battleships, Industrials, Mining Barges, Interceptors, and Assault Frigates.
Oh, and Carriers. (Although I can't imagine anyone on Serenity being able to pilot one for a while, although it is amusing to think of how long it would take grinding mishs to buy a Chimera and Capital Component BPO set :P)

That's the dogs! Why can't we get something like that in the west?
CCP would make a killing if they started knocking out English language versions.

btw whats the card thing on the pic of the contents? oops nm should have read the post properly instead of just looking at the pics  , our cdkeys were just on a crappy sticky.
our manual was 80 pages long and outdated along time before the game was even released

Damn.
Well, it couldn't be too hard to convert it to English/German/French/etc and retail it in the west. Marketing, get to work! 
Could make a killing.

Awesome.
Also, the manual should give some idea as to where they are in the eve development. Is t2 out yet? Are they waiting for further expansions to release those? What about POS warfare/conquerables/outposts/capitals. Are they already in? Also applies to other things, like jumpclones.

I have talked with some friends in Beijing who are currently playing eve-cn mode :). The progress seems to be extremely fast out there, after a little more than a month, they have battleships from all races flying around in space, most T1 equips are on the market no T2 equips yet (well with in 1 month.. you wont be able to use T2 equips anyway -.-).

No idea what the subscription is, but I'd imagine that it would be similar, if not slightly less than the box price monthly. He only bought it to see what was inside :P
