My limited edition arrived yesterday, and I would conclude that it is only limited to as many as want to pay the extra $20.
The video was interesting, but quite brief, and the tech chart looks something like 4 screen shots pasted together, accordian fashion. I was hoping for a chart like the ones that came with CivII, which had the whole tech tree in one big picture on one side and came with useful tables and charts about terrain and units on the reverse. I would have preferred plastic containers for storing the CD's, instead of the double sleeved cardboard container. The game components look lost within the vast tin container once all the cardboard is discarded, so I may end up using it for storing cookies!
In spite of these minor details, I still think I've gotten a first class game, well worth what I have paid for it. This is what really counts, but if Firaxis is listening, why not go first first class with all of the game components, too?
On second thought, my 2 previous edtions of Civ will also fit comfortably in that tin, too. Thanks for making room for keeping all three together!

(poor Mr. Niccolò with empty pockets = no gold to bribe!)
but i like the tin 
:
, I started to stress some colleagues coming from NY (who of course don't know anything about Civ 
) and I've started to ask them several times a day 
if they can purchase and take me one Civ III copy...
(Mr. Niccolò waiting for the Heatrow-Rome flight)
, and the lack of jewel cases for the cd's was rather dissapointing too.
