Hmm, from what I can make out, Kana ~Okaeri~ comes in two versions.
One is a collectors’ edition that comes with a clock, a mini-album, a set of coasters, a mouse pad and a 2005 calendar. It’s 8800 yen and seems to be a limited print run.
The other is 6800 yen and uses a net verification system like G-Collections’ V-Mate (that’s the ‘net-connected version’, I believe). I’m not sure if the collectors’ edition also uses net verification.
Also, I still can’t tell if the game’s actually been released or not. The release date was supposed to be November 19.
Oh, and I found this link, which seems to have samples of two new insert songs that will be included in Kana ~Okaeri~. Unfortunately, neither of them seems particularly memorable (at least, in my opinion).

The site has also been updated with voice samples for all the major characters, here:
