UK Limited Edition "Official guide"

Sonarman · 03-05-10, 05:24 AM

Just received my "Limited edition" SH5 from Amazon UK including the official guide which turned out to be a very nice full colour hardback notepad size recognition book, unfortunatey they have chose have the illustrations of the ships in a portrail orientation spread across the two pages, result where ships have funnels/features amidships the funnels/features are not visable due to the spine of the book, another silly decision.

I just received mine too.
It's actually quite a nice CE and the box is good quality.
Unfortunately I am off work today and I have promised to take my 3year old son on a trip on the trains as he is thomas the tank engine on the brain.
So SH5 will have to wait until later.

I have the collectors edition and it came with both the hardback book and a PDF

I also made a pdf of the huge map that was in to.

Hi guys,

Mine has literally just arrived. Collector's edition from Amazon UK.

The hardback book is a nice touch, shame I can't play it now. I have to leave in about 30-minutes as I'm away for the weekend...

Oh well, Monday will come around soon enough!

Interesting to hear what's actually included - thanks! The recognition manual sounds good, in spite of the book spine problems.

It makes the waiting a little easier. Amazon only posted my copy late on Fri 5th, despite my pre-order being made some weeks back. Pretty disappointing really - might write them a note! Not like their normal excellent service.

Maybe I can borrow Phoenix's copy for the weekend?

Depends on where you get it. There is a bonus DVD, but this is a Documentary in some places and the game's music score from others (that's what I got).
This is the Collector's Edition I got in Australia:
