Limited Edition in UK
Is it possible to buy/pre order the limited Edition version in the UK? I've checked Amazon.co.uk with no luck so far.
I could really do with a cool tin to put my teabags in

Last I checked Infogrames UK were "in Negotiation" to bring them in Q1 2002. Demand seems to be outstripping supply for them, though, so I doubt the worldwide supply (75.000, most are already gone in Preorder) will last that long.
I'm taking no chances and ordering mine directly from the States.

Don't think I've ever had a game arrive in a biscuit tin before

Typical English behavior.
I think an amphora could be nice for the LE.

Is that pre-ordered from Amazon.com? Works out at about $77.
My 1977 Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Tea Bag Tin has started to show signs of rust and this would be an ideal replacement.
Still it's a little on the steep side price wise.
What's its value going to be in 25 years time?

Depends if the game will be a classic or not.
Let's see... $77 is about £50 or thereabouts. So that's £15 or £20 so for a Biscuit tin. Slightly overpriced, but I'm sure the European version of LE won't be much cheaper (guess: £44.99).
Heck, if it was any other game I'd wait or buy the Standard. But Civ3 is Civ3. I even got this gig writing news for a Civ3 site. I figure I gotta repay them in some way.
(Of course if you order via Amazon.com, which seems the cheapest stateside option right now (about $5 cheaper than Chips 'n' Bits, about $20 cheaper than ebworld), you should do so via the links in our Civ3 section. That way a portion of the sale will go towards this site).

What about the P&P from the states, how much is that for the LE? Surely it is a lot.

$35 from EB - $8 from Amazon... varies.
This is if you're in Europe.

Hmmm... will I be able to buy the LE from stores? Or will it be out by then? I hope not.

Well I have resigned myself to the fact that I will probably not get the limited edition; funds are too tight. I will have to make do with the standard edition (or go to visit Snapcase in York and steal his LE )

Me too,
Especially since Dan confirmed the existence of a manual of 235 pages.

Well I've taken the plunge and ordered the LE edition from Chips 'n Bits. Cost $72 to be sent to Argentina where I'm currently based. I just hope the tin doesn't get mashed by the postal system or end up in some Barrio

Bloody hell! What a manual! Jeez!
Civ II's manual has 196 numbered pages,
so it's going to be 39 pages more in Civ III.
I can't say anything else than: Well done Firaxis!.

Well, they've gotta cover Culture, Resources, Small Wonders, Unique Units, Civilization Specific Abilities, Golden Ages....
That plus what was in Civ 2 plus all the changes that i've forgotten
