Are Crysis 2 "orginal" and Crysis 2 "Limited Edition" the same thing? I mean everything, Singleplayer/Multiplayer - the game itself. (Except the difference and benefits of xp, skins etc in Limited Edtion.)

yes

The limited edition has:
* digital skin for the SCAR
* SCAR hologram to confuse the enemies
* bonus-XP for multiplayer
* and platinum dog-tag

on the other hand it is limited to:
* DX9 at the moment
* predefined graphics settings
* no sandbox out of the box

in contradiction to this, the 'original' has:
* no digital skin for the SCAR
* no SCAR hologram to confuse the enemies
* no bonus-XP for multiplayer
* and no platinum dog-tag

* DX9 at the moment

hehe

I'm assumming we can get the hologram through basic play, yes?

Yes you can.

only the dog tag and the weapon skin you cant get elsewhere.

The dog tag & even the weapon skin aren't even that noticeable really. Meh, at least I didn't pay extra for it although I liked the XP boost :]

It didn't cost extra they sold a limited number of copies at normal price, first come first server. actually, i paid $58 for mine (amazon)

and the original has a 16 hours delay in release

i know because i have the original pre-order

Yeah, that's what I meant. You don't need to pay extra at all for the Limited Edition. All you needed to do is to pre-order it.

not every pre-order is the same, there are just 3 i know off

-nano edition (sold out)
-standard edition (does not come with any extra and its released 16 hours after the other 2)
-limited edition

and the limited edition is at least the places where i looked more expensive , the nano edition even more so
