Soundtrack added to Gothic 3 CE

An uproar ran through the community when the Gothic 3 publishers JoWooD and Deep Silver announced the ingredients of the Collector's Edition a few weeks ago. An essential part was missing: The soundtrack!

Today JoWooD shocked the community with a surprise coup: They added a soundtrack CD to the Collector's Edition - without additional costs for the customers!
Here is the full press release without company stuff:

Exclusive Soundtrack for Gothic 3 Collector's Edition Liezen, Austria, 19th of September 2006 - A few weeks before the RPG hit Gothic 3 is being released, JoWooD Productions and Co-Publisher Deep Silver announce a great addition to the Collector`s Edition: The exclusive soundtrack, which will be available in the Collector`s Edition, provides some of the most exciting masterpieces in gaming scores, written by Kai Rosenkranz, the composer for Gothic 3, and performed by the "Bochumer Philharmoniker."

"The Collector`s Edition is a special way to say "thank you" to all our true fans out there, and it therefore should contain what the fans desire most; in all Gothic-related boards, the fans literally begged for the soundtrack to be included. In a last-minute-attempt we tried to add the soundtrack CDs to the already planned package - and we managed!", explains Johann Ertl, Community manager for JoWooD Productions.

The Gothic 3 Collector`s Edition will be released the same day as the regular version - on October 13th of this year.

JoWooD confirmed that the CD included is content-identical to the stand-alone version to be released soon in the German market.
