Hark - a distant, profound thundering, as of the beating of Daedric war drums. A Premium Edition of alpine darling The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has shown up on Amazon.de, due for release on 7th December.
The console version includes a map of the world, a T-shirt bearing the emblem of the Empire, the spin-off novel "Die Höllenstadt" - "Hell City", according to Google Translate - and six concept art postcards. We're hoping Skyrim's two currently available DLC packs Dawnguard and Hearthfire will make the final cut. Doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask, given that the game itself launched a year ago.
The Premium Edition is exclusive to the United Kingdom, Benelux, and Germany - UK pricing has yet to be announced. Here's a snapshot of all the Elder Goodness:

A t-shirt i will never wear, postcards i will never need or use and the possibility of DLC, for that price and to even call it a premium edition it should have all the latest DLC aswell.
What a waste of time, they will release a GAME of the year edition soon anyway!

I wear the one I got with Mass Effect 3 quite a bit, but never outside.
A t-shirt is much better than a £90 plastic dragon, anyway.
Maybe they're releasing it for PS3 as well, hence the uncertainty about DLC.

Yet i'm currently sat here in a bra and pants, whilst using a plastic dragon as foot rest. I'd say that's pretty damn useful!

If my current home baking phase makes me gain any more weight, I'll be needing a bra. That could be the next metro trend, the "man bra".
*rushes off to patent the idea*

The book is called 'The Infernal City: an elder scrolls novel', I know because I got it when it came out on amazon.....2 years ago....for about 3 quid.
Some 'premium edition' this is
Edit - Btw that book is part one of 2 so you dont even get the full story. Part 2 ('Lord of Souls: an elder scrolls novel' costs 3 quid on amazon

I'll take your sarcastic (and amusing) comment as an agreement.
Although thinking about it they may have originally planed for this to have all the DLC, so that if they didn't win GOTY they could still do a bundle pack, but now they can release a GOTY edition with all the DLC. They aren't gona bother with it this time
