Have you the patience to wait for the LE-version?

I also voted "both". Reassuring to see that Im not the only hopeless nut-case around here.

Ralf:

I think I will buy both, but keep in the end only the LE, and provide the other version as a gift for my nephew, who is always short of money, because his horrible parents often refuse to spend their whole money in computer games...

Yes, thats one variant. Personally, Im going to trade the SE-version in a second-hand PC-game store. I get a decent prize for it, if I buy a new game also. "Europa Universalis II" by the way, is planned to be released around christmas as well. Maybe I buy that one.

I'm buying the plain vanilla version as soon as it hits the Finnish stores. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'll probably buy the collectors edition, I'll (hopefully) be pretty busy the next few months anyway. If I'm not, I'll buy the regular version asap.

Plus, if I get it "early next year" I'm sure there will already be alot of patches, maps, scens and mods

I am definitely waiting before I buy. I feel that Firaxis has bitten off a lot in this project and I am not sure they can pull it off. I will wait until I see 4 or 5 reviews come out and how the reaction here at Apolyton is to the game before I buy it. I was burnt once by buying CTP2 on the first day ($70 wasted) and now I am a little gun shy.(God that game was crap!!!)
This works out great for me because I wanted the LE version anyway.

I´ll buy the standard edition as soon as it is released. And I hope it includes a 'big chunky' manual (no PDF-file, please) and a folded tech-tree.

Of course not... I'll have to wait up to a month in which our US counterparts will be enjoying the game... I cannot wait any longer for a biscuit box...
