Tell that to mass effect 2.

Nothing of value is lost when a preorder bonus is sold later.

You can get digital collectors edition items far after the collectors edition is not being made or sold anymore, doesn't really make them collectors anymore, does it? So why should a pre order bonus be held in a higher regard?

I know you have a boner for exclusivity, but come on now.
