It's nearing the end of the calendar year, which means two things for games: loads of new releases, and gussied-up versions of last year's new releases. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is among those getting a fancy rerelease, at least in some ares of Europe. Amazon Germany has outed a "Premium Edition," later confirmed by Bethesda.

The listing (via Polygon) lists a release date of December 7, which would apply to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Extras include a map, t-shirt, postcards emblazoned with concept art, and The Infernal City: An Elder Scrolls Novel, and a PC bonus disc with trailers, walkthroughs, music, and a 600-page strategy guide e-book. The edition doesn't mention downloadable content, but considering it's multiplatform and the game is still struggling with the PlayStation 3 DLC, that's not surprising.

Bethesda told Joystiq that this version of the game is "only available in certain territories in Europe," like Germany and the UK. No plans have been detailed for a US version.

      I don't get it. How many fans do they have that are willing to pay extortionate prices for a premium Skyrim pack, but who still don't actually own the game almost a year after its launch?

      Nice try Bethesda. Work on putting out your DLC for PS3 users before you try get any more money out of anyone with this crap.

        Not really their fault that the PS3 design was flawed when it came to memory.

          The PS3 is like the N64 of this generation.
