The Content
Compared to the normal edition, these things were different and/or added:


 * Much bigger box with the format 31 x 38 cm. Its colors were tweaked as well.
 * Addition of the Ultima Collection CD. It is the same as the original, containing all of the original content.
 * Addition of the Ultima IX Soundtrack CD, although it is a cropped version, with some of the tracks missing.
 * Another trinket in form of a Metal Ankh (not identical to the one from Ultima IV).
 * A poster of the Ascension cover, where the ascening Avatar is grabbed by the Guardian's hand.
 * Certificate from Richard Garriott, congratulating for the purchase and hinting at his future plans, which became moot with him leaving Origin.
 * The Journal and the Spellbook are now bound in synthetic leather, with the cover symbols being impressions in it that can be seen and felt.
