How is the extra emote in the Collector's Edition not charging for cosmetics? Part of the added value is the exclusive cosmetic.

It's all about how it's sold. I just wish there was some honesty in the advertising of products. I'd rather buy the base game and then have the option to purchase cosmetic items if I fall in love with the game. At least then they it's a pretty simple transaction without trying to hide what it really is.

I'm a collector at heart so I feel like I "need" all of the items. If you look at Halo 4 I had to jump through a ton of hoops to get all of the preorder bonuses that were purely cosmetic. I think I preordered 4-5 different versions of the game at all retailers plus one collectors'/limited edition. Then they package new McFarlane action figures with DLC codes to give you in game skins. Of course I wanted those also. it just goes on and on.

I'd almost rather have the option of buying a $50 cosmetic item add-on pack that gives me access to all the in game cosmetic stuff I would like to have but doesn't affect gameplay in any manner.
