The press release is just a tiny bit misleading. The box includes the "9 expansions" because it includes the current client, which reflects all expansions. The downloadable client also technically includes "all 9 expansions", too.
It's not like Everquest, where there's a (relatively unchanged since launch) core client and a bunch of additional installs that upgrade it with the expansion content.
