    I don't see anything marked as Special Edition on any of the sites.

    Those are the same boxes as before so how do you know you're purchasing the Special Edition?

    If someone could maybe post a link to a retailer selling the pre-order special edition, it would be much appreciated.

    Making of... soundtrack and an item?

    It all sucked.

    The in game item reduces effects of Dread. Dread is a huge factor in fighting the tougher parts of the game. Any item(s) that increases Hope will be greatly sought after IMO.

    I don't know about elsewhere but ebgames/gamestop is only ten dollars more than the standard version. MUCH MUCH cheaper than the 100 dollar price tag for Vanguard Collector's Edition and believe me I felt very ripped off buying that. I bought the collectors edition of LOTR. Hoping the soundtrack is good.

     I pre-ordered in Feb.   Does that mean I didn't get the special edition?

    This is a strange announcement.   I pre-ordered the Special Edition 3 weeks ago at Amazon.com ($59).

    BTW...  LOTRO-Preorder is the #1 in sales (PC games) at Amazon.com.   The Special Edition is #2.
