A bit of Googling suggests that it may be the German Gold edition.

What's the deal with Deutschland and FS? It's the only other country with localisation, IIRC

It says: 'Beste'

It's just the superlative there's no gender specific form. And yes the Dimension Pack is some kind of gold edition.

In german, you have seperate superlatives.

masculine form = Bester
feminine form = Beste
neutral form = Bestes

So you would say 'Bestes Schnitzel', but 'Beste Bratwurst'.

Since I'm german, well half german to be correct I should know better but you got me there. I just meant the use of Beste in conjunction with an article: "der, die, das beste".

Yeah, I dunno, they had Heiko Hermann on the job (who, btw, also wrote the Descent Manager suite, which we owe a lot to). Dunno, maybe Heiko just knew the folks at V and was interested.
