Oh yeah, I got all the goodies you mention and some of Triss, Shani, Princess Adda or Carmen

@Maggie: Well she got this from J&R...So its retail. And J&R doesn't have any support in India

@Woffie: Well its the same here. As advertised, the Enhanced Edition comes with the actual game + Bonus Disc (Djinni Editor + EE content inside) + Official Soundtrack CD + Video DVD + Area Map + Short Story book + Game Guide.

And what I got is something...Less

I bought it from play.com and received the same with honest gamer. I send them an email (the games, company including a photo of the title the barcode and the receipt -pdf format) and after 12 days i had the goodies. Really try to send them an email. oh! i just paid 12 euros for the delivery fee. (a bit angry about that but... i got the goodies ).

I got:

- Game DVD
- Additional content DVD
- 2 Music CDs
- Game Manual
- Game Guide
- The Witcher short story
- Map poster

I didn't get:

-1 Music CD
-Game Manual
-The Witcher Short Story
-Map Poster

So its pretty much the original game with the additional content DVD and a game guide.

Should have waited for it to go on sale for $5 U.S. Dollars and got it through the Steam Holiday sale, as I THINK it has some of that content as .pdf and loose .mp3 files, but I'm not sure, I got it for the game and $5 is a steal for a game as high quality as this.

You could try Ebay for the books, they're available in Polish and a few other languages, but only The Last Wish (The short stories collection book) and Blood of Elves (The first novel in the actual series) are printed in English as of the last I checked. I got Blood of Elves and was so hooked I pretty much finished it in less than 4 nights reading from Midnight to 4AM (I read very fast however, and my time spent is not indicative of a lack of length or substance).

Be warned, the books are VERY wordy and complex, just like the game. Don't expect an easy read unless you're lucky enough to get a large print or have very good eyes or glasses, because it will take you a while and it does take some in-depth thinking and reading comprehension skills to get the most out of it.

Yes, the Steam version which I got for 5USD does have everything mentioned the EE should have all hidden in the SteamApp Common directory...haha. Steam links to some of the content, but not all of it. You gotta go digging for it. BUT, that should help anyone who is considering buying this for the 5USD which is a superb deal...

Oh and it has a few maps as JPG as well.

OST is under game folder in steam "Soundtracks/OST"

The PDFs and JPGs are in the game's main directory...

There is also an "Inspired By" under, you guessed it, "Soundtracks/Inspried by" which contains even more MP3 goodies.

I'd post the PDFs and music, but somehow I think that is against CheatHappen's rules and some US laws :-(

And Foxxie as far as I know the PDFs included are written in a similar style as the book(s) the game was based off, which IMO is a good style. On a 30" monitor with the PDF fullscreened it isn't bad :P
