Skyrim: 1st and 2nd editions?

[J Rokk]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been talked about before somewhere. If so the staff can bin this thread as they see fit.

I had someone tell me the other day that there is two editions of Skyrim floating around.

The first edition, supposedly, is the one that does not have anything on the front game cover except as it came from the manufacturer.

The second edition, is from what I have been told, is the version with the front cover of the game with the little G4TV stamp on it which reads "4 out of 5 stars", or "Game of the year". I can't recall which.

There is indeed this new stamp on the newer copies being sold, and it's not part of the sealing factory wrap which comes off after yo open it, it is indeed on the front cover insert itself.

Anyone else notice this, and if so would this indeed be a second and first printing of the game?

I have two sealed copies I plan on keeping, one for PS3 and one for the 360 which do not have the G4TV stamp. :D

Thoughts?

Also sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread as this is only the second one I have made since joining the site.

There are definitely at least two versions of the regular edition. The first batch has the premium map, the other just has a normal map. Haven't noticed anything regarding the rating being on the cover.

Are you referring to the game guide (collectors)?

I think he may be referring to the game guide and not the game itself

I have heard there are two editions of the game but dont have a source atm to back this up

[evilvort3x]

sorry im on about the guide?

[J Rokk]

I'm actually talking about the game itself.

I know there are two versions of the guide, but was told there was a second printing of the Skyrim game itself.

I bought mine the day it came out and got the Map with it and No stamp on the front like you talk about.

Here is the one I have, the front cover -

Now, imagine this same cover with s stamp in the lower right corner (of the actual game insert, and not on the outer factory wrapping) that reads "G4TV: Game of the Year", "G4TV: 4 out of 5 stars award", or something similar.

Now would this be consider a second printing of the game? Something as simple as this, I mean it's not like a comic book that uses a variant cover etc etc.

Mines the same as that but with a 15 logo and not the rp one.

most games have slight variations like this between printing... they almost always have the same exact UPC and nothing that easily distinguishes between versions.
