          Yes, I must agree that I am willing to spend the extra $15 just for the casing. Now, we must find out what else our money pays for.

          And Mark, any way to add EBgames as one of the places we can buy through Apolyton?

            Finally, a box that I won't accidently step/sit on and crush.

              God that box is perfect why can't they use that for the game and let us pay an extra $15? But think of the added postage costs

              BTW What is up with Apolyton every time I try to reply the first time I click submit it comes up with " Server Not Found " error so I click back and submit again and it works
              Mark what is the idea of the maximum image size is 600 * 0 ??

                they dont have an affiliate program. i'm sure both amazon and chips&bits will have the limited edition when it's released

                  Hey cool, the tin is ideal, and I will tell you why. When you get Civ3 home, take everything out of the tin and get civ3 installing. In the meantime, take the tin to the kitchen with you and fill with various biscuits, sweets, nuts or whatever nibble takes your fancy. Close the door and prepare yourself for a long week of civving, nibbling from the tin, and occasionally taking it back to the kitchen for a refill

                      well, if an image is too tall, there is no problem. but if it's width is over 600 pixels it messes up the tables and can create horizontal bars....

                        UberKruX doesn't get a tin.

                        Silly old UberKruX pre-ordered the game in June... before any word of the LE.

                        stupid firaxis. i want my le.

                          UberKrux, just cancel the pre-order you have standing and then reorder the limited edition...if no monies have changed hands there isn't a problem...

                            Oooo...metal...

                            In the meantime, take the tin to the kitchen...
                            Well that's half right. That's what your desk draws and the top of the tin are for. The cover is so you have a tray to eat your food on so not to stain the hardcover, leather-bound manual and the tech tree papyrus scroll. You sit on the tray and use it to...releave pressure that could cause you to go away from Civ3 for 3 minutes.

                              The Box is BS. I could care less about the box. The box isnt gameplay. It isnt graphics. The box aint gonna bring anybody any fun. Its just a piece of metal that sits there and does nothing. The box probably only cost em 2$ extra and they are making 13$ more.
