Any hint of a special edition?

I only bought the SH4 deluxe version, and most of it was a POC...

I just got the first regular shop version of SH3, which contained a fold-out-map of the Atlantic. Which I used in the beginning.
So what did the SH3 deluxe version contain? Anything good?

There was no SH-3 special edition. You got what everyone else got.

The later cheaper versions of SH-3 were missing map or manual.

SH-4 was the many multi-version marketing genuis of UBISOFT suits.

They try that crap on SH-5 and it will be a PIRATES market.

I'd like to know too. My SH4 pen is looking for a sleeker, younger model friend.

Oh, who am I kidding, of course I'd be sucked into buying a deluxe edition.

If I'm not mistaken, SH3 came out in a limited version with a printed recognition manual and foldable map and keyboard chart. Ordinary versions only had the map and keyboard chart, and later cheap version everything in PDF.

I think I heard that once. But then, SH4 deluxe came with such a manual and what was it worth? Nada.... Once modders start adding ships, the only manual worth anything is the one inside the game...
Anyway, I didn't miss out on anything it seems then...

It sure came with a printed manual, because I have it

I meant that I'm not sure today if that was a limited edition or just the first 500 copies, or whatever....

I seem to remember it was going to be the first few hundred, then it was extended to... I think pre-ordered copies from Ubisoft directly? I know that there was no special 'boxed edition' as the Jiffy bag came from Ubisoft France with the recognition manual as a seperate item.
