The Collector's Edition and the Game Of The Year Edition both include content that was not included in the original release.

This edition is pretty rare now due to there being a very limited number made and the fact that it was only released in the USA on the PC. But you can still find some on auction websites and gaming shops.
The boxart is exactly the same apart from the gold strip near the top of the box. This edition was also released for the PC and generally retailed for more due to the inclusion of a second disc.

Collector's Edition

The Collector's Edition was released on 25th October 2005 and is exclusive to the PC. It included game trailers, concept art and a commentary. It also included a mission walkthrough and gameplay tips. Veteran Ranger Len Lomell narrated the commentary on the assault of Pointe Du Hoc in 1944. It is quite rare to find this edition now as there was a limited amount sold and the edition is was only released in the USA.

Game Of The Year Edition

Call of Duty 2 picked up the Game Of The Year award in 2005 and also became the most sold Xbox 360 game. To celebrate Activision announced there would be Game Of The Year Edition for both PC and Xbox 360. It was released 13 May 2006 in North America and 21 July 2006 in Europe. The edition included a token that would get you the Skirmish Map Pack for free.
