I'm really appreciating that for the trouble of spending extra on the collector's edition, I have the privilege of not having access to the pre-download.

What does blizzard lose, exactly, in letting every Wrath player access the downloader? It still won't work if you don't add a key. What the hell.

I agree. I can't decide if this is a mistake, or genius on Blizzard's part. After years in the reseller business, I grew to understand that anytime an OEM would circumvent their distribution channels to sell directly to consumers, it was basically spitting on the resellers/retail vendors. How much LESS money will Gamestop and Best Buy now make because of Blizzard's direct-to-consumer system?

it's a GREAT IDEA for the customers, but you can bet that the CEOs of the retailers are pissed at Blizzard right now.
