[NFS] Is EA the first to sink to the new low of different release dates for Standard and "Deluxe" editions ?

I could somewhat understand if they released the Deluxe version a few days before the typical Tuesday release date.

But no, EA is releasing the Deluxe version on Tuesday, November 7th. Then are releasing the Standard edition 3 days later on Friday, November the 10th.

This was probably going to be the only full priced game I bought at launch this year, but I'm not so sure now. I know it's not going to hurt their sales if I wait, but now it's a matter of principal. Fuck EA.
