any "press kits" that were given away to the public in contests I would consider to be valid CEs as well.

The definition of what constitutes a CE here on CE.o has always been this
-Includes or can be included with a full retail copy of the game
-Is different in someway from the typical retail release
-Includes some form of improvement over the retail release other than a repackaging for reduced cost (eg: not a "platinum hits" re-release).


If a "press kit" were to follow that criteria then I would absolutely consider it a CE, not just for this discussion but in terms of entry into the database.
