People don't seem to understand: It's a $160 CE being split to allow anyone to get it. (It's cheaper if you have patience to get the game).
The idea behind this is that you aren't locked into a region or platform by them, they don't stuff retailers with a clearance item, and they don't get into the issue of making it for a few platforms in a few regions and guess wrong about who wanted it enough. They are trying to make a collector's edition that all countries can get, rather than one country or region getting better stuff than another, if at all. This way, no one misses out on the stuff they made.
That said, I don't want it.
