Maybe OTT, and not ideal, but that seems to be what I am forced into doing to get a Collector's Edition AND be able to play the game on release day.

And you can always just forward the CD key in the collector set to a friend in need for them to download it from steam if you buy it digitally beforehand.
Unless you plan on flying on two accounts!
