So I thought this Jack-in-the-Box is pretty cool. I wanted to get it. Apparently this is a US only thing and called Collectors Edition.
 
Collector's Edition: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YMV2D0/
 
I am not sure if this runs on my EU-XBox 360. I might get it for the PS3. They usually run everywherem but this might mess up DLC compatibility. That's why I usually get my english games from the UK. Let's see what the Brits got:
 
Limited Codex Edition: http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/15571175/Assassin-Creed-Brotherhood-Limited-Codex-Edition/Product.html
 
Thats not what I want. Ok, usually I do not buy in Germany. I prefer my games in english. And much more importantly it is MUCH more expensive. But anyway:
 
Auditore Edition:  http://www.amazon.de/Assassins-Creed-Brotherhood-Auditore-uncut/dp/B003ZYEMDO/
 

Whats the deal with that?

There was the same for the second. Nothing really that surprising. 

They want to make money.

So if I give you three dollars you'll think it a million?

You havn't even begun to scratch the suface, every shop I can think of has its own version.
 

So any info if the Harlequin & Officer can be unlocked in the normal game? Or are the strictly limited to the codex edition?
