Warning! BTC members should not read this. 
I went downtown today on some school business and dropped into the Kyodong computer market to see if Civ3 was released. Not only is it released and on the shelves of most stores but it's the Limited Edition! I didn't see any regular editions anywhere. I said to the shop owner, "This isn't supposed to be available outside the U.S." He said, "Why not?" Good question but I didn't have a good answer.
Anyway, I opened it up to have a look and found a Korean instruction manual, an English instruction manual (a book, not a PDF file), an empty jewel case (huh?), and a cardboard disc case with the 2 CDs in it (whew!). There was also the foldout tech tree. The tech tree looks okay to me. It's not too hard to pick out the units and so on. Also included is the letter from Sid Meier and Jeff Briggs. The paper is quite nice. I believe some people reported it absent from their LE, yes? All of this cost me 50,000 Won. That's about 39 or 40 American dollars I think.
I haven't tried the game yet because I had to come back to work. I'll post later about my first game.
