Amazon UK SH4 exclusive collectors edition

And that certainly is worth the extra money!

I think I will order that edition as my second copy for LAN games, can't wait to try the adversarial mode! Plus that will allow me to support Ubisoft and Subsim.

I look on the high price purchase from Ubi as an investment in the future for SH5 and DC2!

What do you mean by a collectors edition PATCH?

Perhaps he means the sew-on badge, but you only get it with the DE.:hmm:

Yes, sorry I used the US term "patch" which is indeed a sew-on badge in UK parlance.

The Amazon german site does seem to indicate that the badge will be available with the collectors edition ( unless my translation of Aufnäher is wrong) but it's hardly worth bothering about since the badge image bears as much resemblance to a ww2 sub as a black banana, it looks more like a bad clipart image of a Typhoon class boomer!

It's too bad they didn't put in the DvD instead of the CD and patch. The only things I think are useful are the DvD and rec manual. This is my opinion though. It also shows me what to expect out of the American CE if they do one at all.

Wait a minute? The CE is a cd? I dont want my games on umpteen different discs. I want it on DVD. Why would they do that when the old version was a dvd-rom game?

You're right, if you order the CE you'll get the badge as well.
