Collectors Edition - EA real rip-off!

I have the collector's edition twice ordered in January, for me and my mother in law. Unfortunately, the extra cost compared to the normal main game is totally unjustified.

Should someone want to define the Sims 3, so it is with the normal version best served - here even the games description is of higher quality than in the Collectors Edition ...
