I have #21 and say Yes to all also!

Don't have a DI but I powder coat all my doors and shooter housings so I say YES.

That would be a foolish assumption.

I'll be getting a SE because I don't want any powder coating anywhere.

Rich -
Not everyone wants games totally powder coated... I have tried telling you that JJP polled people who bought the CE and that is what they found. Nobody is being cheap here, but they are trying to give the product as most folks would prefer it as your poll shows. As your distributor and friend, my suggestion is cancel the CE, we'll slide your deposit to the LE and save $ 3,500 and then do whatever you want to the game aftermarket with the savings. You're beating yourself up over a product that should make you happy. The CE will be uber cool, trust me, but as I told you from day 1 there is not $ 3,500 of extra 'stuff' on it. It's for those that want the rarity, special perks, the things that will only be on that model, that's why it's called the Collector's Edition ! Love you brother, but you need to put this to rest and enjoy your purchase one way or another. : )

Man, I bet you can't wait for the daily phonecalls, emails, and threads created after he actually takes ownership of this thing.

I say good on you, Joe for such a wonderful reply....I considered the CE, but decided to go with an LE for exactly those reasons....I've played the game plenty and I'm buying it to PLAY it.

Whatever happens is going happen! It will be what it will be...can't make everyone happy...

Like Joe said just go down to an LE so your not worried anymore, no gamble, and just enjoy your game when you get it... you are setting up yourself since day one to not be happy when you get your CE..... By the way Joe can I change my CE #21 to CE #12 if he backs out?

CE owners were polled on this topic? Must have missed them contacting me on the poll....

Edit: up vote for post#7

I'm still buying you a steak if JJP gives you a ham sandwich for your lunch with Pat Lawlor ! Me and you at Expo and that wine steakhouse across from the Westin - I'll drink a bottle of wine and you can tell me everything you don't like about the Dialed In you paid $ 12,500 for ! lol... In all seriousness, just be happy - it pains me to see you so distraught over what should be a fun experience. So, we cool ? Steak dinner on me... and before you ask NO you can't pick the cow out of the field and shoot him yourself - you get what they give you.
