Thanks for the reply. Judging from the games included, I am guessing the $10 rebate code would be for Vegas 1? So the CE was released in 2006? Shame about the games not coming in special cases. Knowing whats actually in there's is pretty awesome, now I know what to look out for to tell if one is complete or not.
unrelated edit: funnily enough I've just seen a copy of the euro/blue CE pop up on ebay. Doesn't include the collectors bonuses but it seems like the games might just have come in plain jewel cases (
here).
edit 2: oh wow. just somehow found
a whole page on the CE tin with a pic. Was an 06 release indeed. Case closed on that one haha. Still interested if anyone knows if the UK/euro blue was a limited release, or if there's any noteworthy editions from the rainbow six->raven shield era though.
