If I wanted the manual and the map, I would have opted for the collector's edition.
Yes, and that was because the technology at the time was expensive, especially consoles (which still are today). Most of the PC games I have bought over the past few years are at or below £20 on release, with a few exceptions (EA for example, love their moneybags).

Seriously, SH4 CE was £17 on release! Now they want £26.99, for what appears to be (gameplay wise) an inferior product. That may make sense to you, but sure as hell does not to me.
