It’s extremely annoying to see retailers marking up the price like that. The Argos one is still available so I guess most others feel the same way (or just haven’t seen it yet).
Yeah, I’ve given up on the CE over in the States. It’s way too hard to obtain, and for the price, I just don’t think it’s worth the trouble for me unfortunately. It’s nearly double the price of the game itself and I don’t really think I’m willing to pay that. So I’ll just take my normal preorder stress-free.
The CE is overpriced for what it is honestly. The contents are extremely lame compared to the BotW CE, and somehow the Gamestop Pre-order bonus is actually better than the contents of the CE. With the CE, you get an art book that already leaked and will most likely be outclassed by a standalone art book for the entire game, a set of pins, a poster, a very bland looking box, and a steelbook. The Gamestop Pre-Order nets you a wooden plank that has actual carvings in it, instead of just a poster.

I could've typed most of this post; this hits VERY close to my sentiments. I originally was gonna try for the CE. However, the rarity, price, plus stepping back to truly analyze what was on offer, made me realize I can do without. Outside of the art book - which has already leaked - I don't really need or want the rest of that stuff collecting dust. At least the GameStop preorder bonus is something outside of the norm. Still need to do that in fact; I'll likely put in an order early next month.
I managed to get a hold of the BotW Special Edition (I intentionally passed on the Master Edition; I didn't feel the extra $30 just for a plastic Master Sword was worth it) and have honestly gotten more use out of its goodies than I ever would with the less unique offerings of the TotK CE. Especially the carrying case and CD.

Feel free to send me a Switch friend request, but please tell me first.
I've never ordered a collectors edition before, the standard usually suits me fine, and it's nice to have a preorder locked down ahead of time, Tears of the Kingdom is one of the few that I have pre-ordered...

@WoomyNNYes Sadly, the DLC isn't going to be included with the 70 dollar price tag. They'll most likely charge for it, resulting in a game that's around 100-120 dollars when all is said and done.
