ah damn, i thought they scrapped the spit manual and the other stuff for the collector's edition, i saw a video of just a simple dvd box which was a little thicker because of the map that was included.

does anyone know if this is in any way possible to get in the europe? netherlands in particular?

i made some mistake by ordering them here.... i got 1x Collectors edition from Amazon, and 2x Collectors Edition from Ubisoft shop :D

now i have 2 packed CE's lying here around

Was hoping someone could tell me a bit about the Pilot's Instructions and Spitfire notes. Are they worth having, is the Instructions book just a printed manual or does it go into more detail?

I'm tempted by this, but at £20 more expensive and having no use for the map can't quite make my mind up.

Also the only place I can get this in the UK is the Ubi Shop, correct?

Thanks a lot.

The Pilot's Instructions is a printed manual but in 1 of those ring binder type of books, I like it. The pilot's notes are truly something else though, as soon as I saw they were for the Spitfire Mk. I, I knew I wanted the Collectors Edition. I have never seen pilot's notes for the Spitfire Mk. I anywhere, so I appreciate the game more knowing a hole in my collection has been filled.
The only place to buy the CE in the UK as far as I'm aware is the UBI shop.
It's up to you at the end of the day.

Very impressed with the CE. Seen as I cant get the game to work im memorising the Pilot notes for the Spitty.

Thanks guys,

Will give it some thought over today and make the purchase this eve. I always used to get the CEs without a second thought, but in recent years I noticed that I wasn't really getting anything extra in terms of the actual game and rather just paying almost double for some cheap plastic toy that had it not been do do with the game and my need to always buy the 'best' version I wouldn't have wanted anyway. These days I tend to go for what they seem to call the 'limited edition' (extra game content, a nicer box, but not extra stuff/fluff).

The CoD CE leaves me in between the two, there's not a cheap plastic Spitfire model or some such rubbish but some pilot's notes, which I like and a printed manual, which I also like. Had the manual been a 300 page+ beast I'd get it for sure, but again 150... leaves me thinking, is it really worth it? I have little interest in the map, am sure it'll get looked at once and put back in the drawer.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling/boring post and thanks again for your replies.
