I called them and at first they told me they were sure that they were the same versions. After asking the same question and adding "are you absolutly sure you have all the video" they finally went away from the phone for a while and came back to say that they did see a diffrence in the tutorial part that might not include all the video. So the bottom line for me seems to be that this is not the complete copy that chessbase is showing. I wish I could find out if they are any other diffrences other than video.
