It does reek a bit of taking out content from the game purely to try and sell more of the expensive edition. Boo hiss.
I'm most cases, everyone will end up getting that
Just recently those BF3 exclusive items to GAME, A

''exclusive'' stuff months later. It will mostly l ikely be cheaper to. CE editions are mostly for the hard co re fans.

mazon & Play.com all made it to the PS Store.
BF3 did not have a CE, it had a Limited Edtion bonus for the price of the standard edition.
Dragon age CE content, that was put on the store would be a better example..
It cost £11.99 for 1 single extra player and his quests.

Yeah, but BF3 had ''LE content which was exclusive for selected retailers''. Dog tags, early weapon unlocks,new skins. Which the guy above said '' I think it sucks that only those pre-ordering the expensive edition from a specific retailer (Game) get to see that.''
DLC wise, LE, or CE, it will end up on the store. I'm simply saying, no matter which retailer the DLC is exclusive to, in most cases it will end up on the store at some point.

Aye, I do believe it will end up on the store (though hopefully not ridiculously over-priced ala the DA
extra character!). Will probably end up trading ME:3 when finished then I'll end up getting a GOTY edition with all DLC in a year or so when cheap.
My bigger grievance is the character and mission stuff is probably finished. So its feels a bit like withholding content in order to try and make more money when the content should have just been kept in the original. Aesthetic stuff like costumes, even guns (theres normally always somthing else that'll do the same job there!) I don't care about, its story driven main game stuff.
Still, ya never know, the bonus character and mission may just be a multiplayer thing. Not fussed about that either!

Play.com are also stocking it for £69.99.
I cancelled my play.com order and moved it to Amazon for £5 less, but I am a little worried the estimated delivery is 12 - 14 March. I'm hoping I will get it on release.

Yea but its not just a BD with the CE. It will require Parcel type shipping as it wont fit in a letter postage class bag.
Amaon are Also a well known for not shipping till the day before Release day.
Its then up to the Parcel company to make it with in 1 day or arrive on Monday the 11th. (saturday is not included) ( play .com are even slower for me as I live in the wrong post code...)
My laptop power lead for example from Amazon was early it arrived today ( I was out ) . when it was actualy due Tomorrow. So I have to change my route home to collect it now Tomorrow .
