Civ3 Limited Edition

I presumed theUS would have the boxes too. It's nice to be ahead in something

It's good because they don't take up so much room and they match DVD and PS2 games on your shelf

Even old games, expansion packs and mulitgames packs now have the new boxes, they're everywhere now.

I think that they include the prima strategy guide

If the Civ3 Prima guide is anything like the SMAC Prima guide, don't waste your money. The Prima guide was just a large print photocopy of the regular manual. The only worthwhile addition was the map of planet, which after 3-4 games you probably had memorized anyway. Prima's guides suck. No I shouldn't say that, the guides for games with missions and such are pretty decent, but for open-ended gameplay like Civ, SMAC, type games, the guide book is worthless. I'd probably be more inclined to buy a Limited Edition if it did not include a guide book, as then the extras would have to be interesting.

The Civ2 Strat Guide was pretty good.

And I'd prefer a nice cardboard box with my games, espcially if the manual is large!
