I'm an adult and cannot put that in my living room or bedroom.
I'm an adult and have all my collectors edition unboxed in my living room.
That said, I agree that it's not kind AT ALL not to allow players that have alrrady bought EA to pay less and/or to have MORE - bonuses - goodies - or anything else.
I'm mostly sure EA owners will have something special but it will not worth the 2 copies of the game (1 will be useless) I had to buy both to play EA AND to have the collectors edition.
