Did anyone actually get a "Limited Edition"?

[maestro]

I bought a copy from PC World a day before release and my Play.com order arrived today one the dayt of release and they're both boring, vanilla versions with no extras.. no map, no nothing. What ever happened to the statement that "Sega has announced that the first run of the real-time strategy game will be a limited-edition version of the game with bonus material. Those who pick up the game near its November 14 release will be rewarded with a "detailed map of the extensive game world" and the soundtrack from composer Jeff Van Dyke. The added bonuses won't cost extra"??????

I've been lied to and cheated.

Only in the U.S they don´t get the collectors edition over there

THere is a large price difference, so you would have to specifically request the limited collecters edition. It's £45.

[Burakius]

Did see it but it was 60 euro + . Not worth it. :)

As Night Star has said there is a Limited Edition and a Collectors Edition. The Limited edition is only shipped within the US because they don't have the Collectors Edition over there. The Limited Edition is supposedly given to all people who have preordered the game. It has a map I think, besides that there's nothing special. I wish I could have gotten one of those after preordering.
But too bad, I guess.

ummm.... we didnt?

i have the "Limited Edition"... and it's even more limited than usuall because i also got a free DVD.

in it it contained: 2 DVDs
1 Map
1 tech tree sheet/ unit list
1 DVD from History channel about the crusades.

so, again, i ask... America didn't get the collector's edition? really now... thats interesting indeed...

*sigh* North America. Canada, Yankee-land, and Mexico are one market with one release date. I got that limited edition. Got the soundtrack CD, map, and tech tree sheet to prove it.

Awe damn, I didn't get a History Channel DVD!

I bought mine on Friday, there are still places with the Limited Edition, you don't have to preorder it.

[HaroldVonBraver]

I got the limited edition and I think it was well worth it. The History Channel DVD's were great.

[Lorenzo_H]

I ordered the normal one, the collecters edition was too much ....

I preorderred the limited/collectors edition from EBgames in Sydney CBD and got it yesterday. It has a lot of goodies there, but haven't looked yet. I was plaing non stop. Have to go to work now.

Why are you guys wasting yer money? Buy the Collectors Edition instead.

The Collector's Edition is worse, and you have to pay extra for it. And it's not available in the US, I don't think.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

CE is worse? I was actually disappointed it isn't offered in the US and I'd have to pay another $10 to have it shipped over here.

Sounds like I should be looking for the LE...

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

IMO, anyway. You don't get the DVDs, instead you get a small metal figure and some art cards. Not really a good trade off, in my book. I got it for 35 quid online, so I wasn't too bothered, but I wouldn't pay the retail price of 45 for it. I just wanted the map and the tech-tree.

Recieved Limited Edition this morning at 11:30(US)

Game on 2 DVD-Rom
1 Map
1 building/unit tech tree chart (looks like the islamic factions had nothing listed on it, just glanced at it.
1 soundtrack to the game

And since i preorderd via gamestop, 2 DVD's from the history channel on the Crusades.

I did not notice any Orthodox or Islamic churches either. Though it did include a couple of non-catholic unique buildings. The Unit and Building Foldout seems almost exclusively focused on the starting catholic factions. Hope this is not a sign that CA short changed my beloved Byzantines.

One thing that bugs me is that there is no track listing for the soundtrack. Nothing in the Limited Edition box and if you throw it in a PC it doesn't detect them either.

This is also exactly what I got yesterday from EBgames. On a side note, it would have been nice for the Collector's Edition to have been available in the US.
