Are you one of the rare few who missed out on Skyrim? Skyrim: Premium Edition might be up your alley.

If you missed out on the Skyrim: Collector's Edition and you don't quite feel like paying exorbitant amounts for a rare copy, Skyrim: Premium Edition might be up your alley.

Bethesda recently confirmed the existence of this special edition of Skyrim after Amazon.de listed Skyrim: Premium Edition on its digital shelves.

This edition of Skyrim is loaded with goodies, including a map of Tamriel, an Elder Scrolls novel, six concept art postcards, a t-shirt, and a bonus disc (for PC only) containing a 600-paged e-book and the official soundtrack. Not bad, considering the price you're paying.

However, don't mistake Premium Edition as synonymous with Game of the Year edition. Skyrim: Premium Edition will be shipping with plenty of physical goods, but none of the DLC.

Skyrim: Premium Edition will be hitting retailers on December 7th later this year.

    They should release this on 12/12/12 as a nice touch to the original release of Skyrim on 11/11/11.

    Is the UI improved? No? Still scrolling through a thousand items to get the one I want? Still having to navigate 3 menus to see my current buffs and stats?

    Oh...what a pity...

    Agreed. This was, perhaps, one of the biggest drawbacks in all of Skyrim. That and glitchy un-startable quests.

    whats the point of this release? they already release two copies of the same game in their lifetime, why make it 3? this makes me sour.

    I just want the GOTY edition I don't feel like paying twice the price for the game, (won't deny it's probably worth it, but I don't have the funds to waste money)
