What makes this model a special edition?

Absolutely nothing. I ordered two (one for each of my sons) in two different colors. The blue color was labeled "special edition" and the other (black) was not. They are identical. Perhaps the color is a special edition color.

I think it is just a special color that is not always available. I have two different colors (red and blue) and color is the only difference.

Not to my knowledge. This is the only one showing on Amazon. My guess is the "standard version" has something to do with the game itself (which I haven't played).

I'm not sure which is the latest model. As far as I know this is the 2012 edition

The color scheme is what makes it "special edition". We own the blue one and this one- color is the only difference.

I just bought the 265WT at Costco and the box is labeled Special Edition. Any explanation? I cannot see anything in the literature explaining why this is the special edition

My seller gave me the 2013 version and when I inquired they said that there are multiple editions and pictures shown in the product pictures and that the sellers specify which one they're selling. Except none of them actually do specify.

Yes it is the same. The special edition was only sold at SDCC 2013 and on HASBROTOYSHOP. COM. That has long been sold out and you will have to hit up the scalper market. The version offered by Amazon is the retail one.

The Elite is considered version 2 (.v2) and it a different design from the basic. Take a lot and the images of both to see the changes.

I would say the HD its the only one I have so I don't know how well the standard version works.

My information indicates that a new model was released. I don't see any specific problems with this unit.

Only special edition OneNote, if you consider that as part of Microsoft Office Suite.

The only difference I noticed was cosmetic stuff- logos, and the voices when it powers up, etc. If you buy a refurb though do so at your own risk... I'd suggest buying new.

I don't know but it's not worth to open it up and find it out. This is a low end model not a game machine and good enough for general purpose daily use.

It is the only one I know of that came out recently. There may some newer ones, but they were more expensive than this model.

I received the 3140d, which includes everything the b version has + ABS. Note that it did not come with the CD nor the Manual, you have to download those.

No idea, but the specs include an extensive list of all of the models that you can use with it.

I have a homeland security edition in mine but they are molded specifically for the standard model
