special edition

Enhanced version available

A special edition is a version of a product released with extra features, enhanced packaging, or limited availability.

Publishers release special editions of books with new introductions or illustrations.

Films get special editions with bonus content.

Video games offer special editions with collectible items.

The designation often justifies a higher price: I'm waiting for the special edition to drop.
