I'm going to the trouble of having a relative send me a collector's edition from the UK. This is something i do purely for the fact that i consider it good value. It's not cheap by any means as a complete package, it's just that 20 Euros is a tiny price difference between CE and regular edition for the stuff that's in the box. 70 Euros is indeed expensive for a game and 50 Euros that most games go for today (including the regular CoD version) is right about on the limit, it's just that 20 Euros is cheap for the map and manuals, at least in my opinion
It also has the welcome side effect that nobody can question my commitment to team Maddox when i criticize a part of the package that was forced on them by external factors. Whenever someone says "you are not a true fan" i can simply reply "what do you mean, i had my family preorder and send me a CE"
