Woah, a game with a cloth map!

I had thought they had died out, but I just opened the Collector's Edition
of Spellforce 2 (the German version was released yesterday) and discovered
a huge, cloth map! Now, that is probably entirely silly, but it's been a
long time since I got one of those. Actually, the CE contents are quite
complex, for a 2006 game: said cloh map, soundtrack CD (game is on a DVD),
a bunch of artsy postcards, a complete card game (a real deck), a brass
compass (actually working, too), printed full-colour manual (60 pages),
printed manual for the card game, and a large poster with all units/etc.
So, as far as the "physical" contents are concerned, I'm actually satisfied
so far. Let's see if the actual game can keep up, though ...

LOL. Yessss. I.i.r.c. my last free tea-towel came out of a Wizardry game box.
No Collectors Edition either in those days.

Incidentally, the CE of Guildwars Factions comes with tea-towel, soundtrack and
desktop calendar as well as mouse-mat. Do I want to spend 150% on such marvels?
Possibly not
