That's what I was trying to figure out. Can anybody tell if this map has the real life grids (like the Aces of the Deep map) or is it the same as SHIII?

Normal version will do me fine - I never buy special additions of any game anyway.

Quite simply, it no longer fits into today's DVD box formats

Bring back the big box format then! It's worth it.

But, but but look! They had to get someone to update the logo! That's an all new, original logo! That's worth the price, isn't it?

Actually map and manual were inside the DVD case for SH3

I still have my AoD patrol grid map. It looks much nicer than this one.

Where can this special version be ordered?

The only thing really worth on it is the metal box; I have the Silent Hunter 4 one and despite it having a debatable paint scheme (Green!) I like it a lot. Will consider this special edition, but I'm certainly dissapointed about the extra content.

Just a small point - the pic above indicates that the Collector's Edition includes all the things listed. That doesn't necessarily mean that the standard edition *excludes* all of them (i.e., the map, manual, or whatever that may have come with standard editions in the past), unless you've got an official release somewhere stating what does and doesn't come with it.

I have some "Collector's Edition" DVD sets and the only thing they have that the "non-collector" edition doesn't is the shiny metal box.

I'm always amazed how people here get SO angry SO easily.

It's just a game that we haven't play yet...

My taxes will not rise for this...

...and girls won't get uglier for this...

Ah, but there's also a video of Neal singing.....

Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat looking like a fool
Walking down town with yo pants on the ground

Pheww... thank God for that.

Meo what gets me angry is the fact that they want money for something they have not done a damn thing for.

that Jpeg file, printed with the SHIII logo, exists for 5 years now. They want cash and give nothing new.

THAT makes me angry because that is stealing everyones Money - everyone that has SHIII, and gets the edition to "support" the series.
In my eyes that is stealing.

if only the map was a REAL KM map like in the old aces of the deep......
