I'm not sure surround gamers will have anything new with this, but hey, it's still a great game made even greater by a free download (or nicely loaded box)... So don't miss it !

I bought it to benchmark with on my 9800GX2 review. Couldn't get to a good benchmark spot, so I haven't played it.

But, I'm a *HUGE SUCKER* for collector's editions. I think I'll rebuy and the give the original away on the site.

The (long) intro sequence (Geralt's rescue and castle attack) is a benchmark in itself ;) except that it won't work in Surround... Running around Market Quarter in Vizima was my benchmark spot of choice though.

Here's the description of the Huge Sucker's Boxed Set :lol: (the EE will of course also be available as a "normal" DVD with only the game)

http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/www/ee_description.html

This caught my eye :
2) Two new adventures in the world of The Witcher that will give you more than 5 hours of additional gameplay. Fully voiceover`ed by the same actors acted in ‘The Witcher’.
The Price Of Neutrality was already available for download, but with "mute" dialogs. Now there's a second additional scenario and they both get audio dialogs ! Hurray ! :D

On a sidenote, the original Collector's Edition featured a very nice artbook... that even this Enhanced Edition won't have !
THIS IS HUGESUCKERSFEST as die-hard fans can have both the CE and the boxed EE without useless/expensive redundant material !!! :w00t

Why 'delayed' ? You really expected it to be available before the boxed game is released in Europe ??

Three more days for a random NPC clothes generator... I'll live :lol:

US game released on 16th.

So why not release everywhere at the same time, and the patch too? How hard is it?

I got mine off Impulse. Figured I may as well since I didn't own it originally and if you get it off Impulse it's DRM-Free.
