On the front page of TSO website there is an image of the TSO boxed edition, with this description;
(I won't link this as I'm sure you've all seen it before logging in/ clicking 'Play Now'.)

Whereas the Amazon.co.uk product description has this to say;

Notice how it is 2,400 gems and only £25 worth of content, as well as getting different items from the TSO description?
So my question is, what will actually be in in the boxed edition, as the TSO description seems to detail the product for the U.K, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
The only thing I notice is that the TSO description is for the 'Standard Version', while the Amazon.co.uk description is for the 'Starter Pack'. I don't see this making any difference as it is the only TSO advertised on Amazon.co.uk (as well as what I just mentioned above), but maybe that is why, two, or more, versions?
Could someone shed some light on this, please?
Thanks.
