Two copies of the LCE Fable 2 were waiting for me when I got home yesterday. A bit disappointed as the collectors stuff (figurine etc) were removed from the EU release - however Gamestation did reduce the price by £5 on each.
Only difference I can see over the standard release is it comes in a cardboard sleave and has a different front and back cover.
You also get free downloadable content on a scratch card inside, not sure if this will be released in future for everyone else or not though.
Starting the game - and it looks stunning on my TV - can't remember if its 1080i or p but the graphics in the intro and cut scenes look good even on Kekies non HD ready Plasma. You have to play for about 30 mins (usual tutorial stuff) before you get to access the downloadable stuff. The LCE downloadable stuff is a sword - better then anything you'd have access to at that point and armour - again better then anything you'd have access to at that point as well as some potions.
Here's a pic of the sword and armour - and I have to say Lionhead do have a good sense of humour:

I'll sort decent photos this afternoon on a proper camera as taken on my mobile and crop etc.
Kekie's plundered ahead in the game as she transferred 91000+ gold from her Fable Pub Games over to Fable 2 and just brought tons of armour, weapons, shops, potions etc.
In comparision I didn't, have about 3000+ gold coins and the basic weapons and armour the game gives so far
