do i get the Blu-ray and artbook with the digital version of Heavensward CE?

and if so, how does that work?

i'm looking on the pre-order site, and it's not really clear. it says you get the blu-ray and the book with the CE, and then lists the boxed and digital prices....

No. Those are physical things. The digital version has the in game things you get from the physical collectors edition.

...I'd think common sense says the difference between physical and digital is implicit?

more and more, people prove they dont have common sense. the fact that OP ignored the stickies explaining FAQs about the expansion is also telling.

the fact that you somehow failed to make the connection that the digital version would only get the digital items still stands.

hopefuls hoping for digital artbook

Why would you think you get the physical items with it? Seriously? it's 60 dollars vs 130(before taxes/shipping). What, pray tell, makes you think you should get the other things besides the in-game items?

While you would think that you would be able to get a digital copy of an artbook, making-of dvd & ost (I'm especially looking at you digital deluxe versions of WoW CEs), those things do NOT come with the digital CE of Heavensward.
