To the point. IMHO, the CE is not worth it. Spiral bound notebook? The thing is a handheld, so is the reference card. Cloth map? Nice, but not the CLOTH you'd expect. Trading cards? First, you can't trade them, as they make the same 4 for every box, and they are huge. Music and bonus gimmies? Who cares, wait a month and get them for free. Ice dice? You know the story on that one.

About the only good thing about this over the regular is the durable box, and poster w/ a list of enemies on the back. So to put this in simple words, the collector's edition is worth about 1/1000 of the extra money put in to it. I'd say wait for the regular and buy it then, rather than wait for the 'delays and miscalculations' by the shipping crew.
