Thats an interesting video. Thanks for sharing that.
So we can conclude that there are 5 versions in total. All like the EA demo, with one car and one track, no music and singleplayer without traffic only. But with a custom launcher.
Indeed a promo oddity from EA...
A neat collectors item, that will be hard to get your hands on, outside of the USA
Regarding the game content though, there is nothing special in these versions...
btw: there is another odd "special version" of this game out there which was released 2003 in Germany only.
"Need For Speed Porsche - 40 Jahre 911"

Despite wikipedia saying this version includes "official soundtrack of the game", there is no music from the game on the audio disc! Simply different "road trip" tracks from Queen, Slade, Roxette, Billy Idol etc...
Greetings
