BTW the map isn't the collector's edition. It's the same map for both CE and regular game purchases.

Here is a screenshot from gamestop with the pre-order map

Looks to be a decent size

I think they are(Beth) doing a blog post about the map before release. It's supposedly the largest guide map ever made, period. If you haven't already, check it bethblog.com and read the blog about the guide(where I read this info).

CE SG looks really cool. If I had some extra cash on me...I'd have some extra cash!

Does the preorderbonus map have anythiong "Special" on it? I dunno...a location to a "cave" with some "treasure"? :drool:

The bonus map is just high quality paper, that's pretty much it.

What is CE SG? CE Strategy Guide? Confused.

Yeah, you got it. Lame preorder bonus is lame.
I would much rather a t shirt. Or...some beef jerky.
Or a Stein? Maybe a sword?

The map does come with both versions of the guide. No idea of the size though, sorry.

Product Dimensions: 11.1 x 8.4 x 1.5 inches
^ from Amazon (that's the books dimensions)

Going by the only pic we have seen from http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/bethblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/photo.jpg, it looks to be twice the height, and I am guessing probably 4x-5x the width.

So:
H 22.2" x W 33.6" - 44"

Granted it's just an estimate but that is as good as your probably gonna get till Friday.

Just a note, you can also get the map with the regular strategy guide.

The bonus to the Collectors edition is the fact that the book is hard cover, it comes with a built in bookmark(the little cloth bit you find in most bibles), and it includes a online map retailed for $15 dollars.


For those interested in the guides, get them from Amazon, $16 for the regular edition and $23 for the collectors edition. I believe this is half of what Gamestop and Bestbuy are charging them for.

Save for the no shipping cost, you get 5% more off on Amazon. :P But I see your point in convenience. I was going to get the CE from amazon before my Prime membership expired(3 dollar overnight shipping :D), but I ran out of funds.
