That's the Collector's Edition, not Special Forces. Special Forces jut comes with the map and the extra units and that's it. The collectors edition costs considerably more.

I hope it is also the case with the Amazon order, as I would be a very happy bunny. :D

It might be those Steam lovers a bit sick if it is the case, I don't mind the little wait time if I get that sort of an award.

I would realy like to know where I should go to to get the collectors edition in the UK, as the only sites I've seen sell it are gamestop.com (heck no!) and amazon.ca .

A link would be preferable. The EB site collectors edition doesnt say anything about the hipflask, compass or the other "feelies".

Gamestop owns ebgames, by the way.

EB don't ship either, so its an Australia only buy, unless you get someone to buy and send you it.

I'm convinced amazon.ca it wasn't there earlier, Collector's Edition. I must have a hard copy so it might as well be a pretty one. If I lived down under they could have suckered me in for that edition. :jester:

Well, I preordered the game this morning. $10 off as well! So I bought Special Forces, seeing as how it was the same price with that $10 off. I get to collect it on the 5th. Right...EB are always the first as well...oh well. I can handle that for $10 off. ^_^_^_^_^

I have the collector's edition reserved at my local EBGames/Gamestop.

This is the edition with the most extras, correct?
