Notice that they say in this video that a 5 hour long module made by a Canadian mod team will be included... I wonder if that is my old friends at DLA? I could bet money that it is actually...

Also, Forbes lists The Witcher as one of last years "10 future classic games". Not bad.

EDIT:

I got info now that the extra content for the Enhanced Edition will become available in another patch in May for the users who already own the game. So I guess I won't have to buy another copy after all. :)
