...I've not opened it yet. I got it today as a belated (very belated) birthday gift from the family but... they only got the regular copy since the special ed wasn't in the shop. Not to sound ungrateful but I specifically asked for the special ed -

My question is this - is it worth sending it back and ordering the special ed online or should I just keep it? The difference in price isn't all that great but what I really want to know is if the features -

# Collector's Edition Includes These Exclusive Materials:
# Septim Gold Coin: An authentic replicated Septimcoin, the official currency of Tamriel
# Pocket Guide to the Empire
# 112 page guide to every aspect of Tamriel, including it's people, provinces, and much more!
# Making of Oblivion Documentary: DVD of a special behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the game.

- Are actually worth the extra cost, hassel and wait. There's no point sending it back and spending more money if its going to be a waste of time, after all.

So... opinions people?

Cheers in advance,
CD.


- Also, how come there's no "poll" option for this forum? :\

Just play the damn game already, in 6 months time you can pick up the special edition in the bargainbins, but by then you've probably lost interest anyway. :D And besides, everything you need to know about Tamriel can be found on the net. So all that remains would be a silly useless coin, well whoop-dee-doo, i'd rather start playing right away if i were you.

hehe. I think I will. Good advice. Maybe I'll pick up a special ed of the GOTY edition, if they have one. :D

These two are actually the same thing.

As far as CE goes, i agree with johnny. Now that you've got the game, it's hardly worth trading it in for a few extra gimmicks. If you really want the coin, i bet there's a hundred others who prabably don't, and have already put it on e-bay. Worth a try, no?
