The CE is still available trough online stores.
And last time I checked the digital version of the game was in the top 20 game downloads in Amazon.com (like a week ago, just above SW:TOR)

Anyhow, I agree with the OP. I like my CE, but with the money SE has they can do better. Also, it would be cool if they used the Legacy thing to give out discounts for players who want/will buy the 2.0 CE.
