You could be right of course, what is certain though is that the Eu version will have a different box art for example. (See the end of www.youtube.com/watch compared to the trailer on Gametrailers.) It also says in the faq on lotro-europe.com "It is still undetermined whether there will be a Special edition of the Mines of Moria made available."
Well, I hope we get one at least, whether it is Codemasters who makes it or they copy the american one.
I want to know what the in game items you can pick from are. I'd pay an extra $20 if it was more free stuff for all my newbie alts. As it stands I get a pocket item, a ring, two cloaks, and some hope vials whenever I start a new toon (stuff from three different promotions), as well as a free horse at 25.
I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.
I am going to have to wait and see the price. I may just go the digital download route.

That's what I'll be doing as well, unless the in game items in the collectors edition are especially swank.
