How come people spending $60 on a standard digital copy basically get the game twice but those of us spending $150 on the exclusive Ghost Edition... don't?

Yeah, it's a rhetorical questions but there's something really screwed up with game selling and distribution right now. I don't have or plan to have a next-gen console for a while and I know I'm going to love the heck out of the Ghost Edition pack-ins... but it boggles my mind that the (presumably) most loyal customers get the short end of the stick in some ways. Worse it's announced less than a week before launch? They can start taking pre-orders a good year in advance but can't let us know about these great offers until four days out?!

I get it. Well, some of it. There's a ton going on behind the scenes with the next gen launches and refinements. Microsoft didn't even have preloading until recently. Both platforms' online services have been adding features and benefits like crazy. I guess I'm just looking forward to next time when all of this stuff has settled down. Digital distribution has the potential to change game buying vastly for the better but so far it's kinda a cluttered mess...
