Does this "Editor's Choice" verion include all the videos and stuff that was included withthe original editors choice CD edition ?

No. The Steam version does not include the bonus videos, but it does include most of the official game content.

Here's a rundown of what's included in the Steam version compared to various retail versions:

Originally posted by jefe:

The Editor's Choice Edition was a retail release of UT2004 that included several extra maps, vehicles, and characters. It also included a bunch of user-made mods.

Not long after that Epic released the Mega Bonus Pack (for free) which included all the ECE stuff except the mods (which you can still download for free), and added a few more new maps.

The Steam version includes the Mega Bonus Pack, but not the mods from the ECE release.

There are a few other bonus maps that aren't in the Steam version for whatever reason.

These are:

Windows XP Bonus Maps: ONS-Aridoom and ONS-Ascendancy. (There was a bit of controversy at the time, since both maps had "official flags" and couldn't be pushed by servers.)
Streamline Bonus Map: AS-Confexia.
Epic Bonus Map: DM-Forbidden.
Epic Bonus Map: ONS-Icarus.

You can see the list of everything here and find downloads for the other maps.

The original DVD release of UT2004 contained several sets of tutorial videos, along with Upaint, and some other goodies. The CD version included Upaint, but not the videos. These videos were also included in the ECE release, which you can view here:

Lastly, there was Unreal Anthology, which included UT2004 along with all the Mega Bonus Pack content, just like the Steam version. (I'm pretty sure the UA version was the template for the Steam release.) It also included Unreal 1, Unreal 1 Return to Na Pali, Unreal Tournament and Unreal 2. It came with a soundtrack CD, but none of the other UT2004 bonus materials, like the 3Dbuzz videos or Upaint.

For the record I own the original CD version, Unreal Anthology and the Steam version.

Thanks for the info, I have a DVD here I think it's the complete edtion, it was released before the editor's choice but still takes 2 DVD's and has some bonus material... It's getting scratched up though so I'll have to buy a download form somewhere eventually... I was just curious why all the download sights label it "Editor's Choice" editon as it doesn't seem to include much of the bonus material.....
