Yeah that's the other thing about the deluxe edition that sucks bad: the bonus tracks. Not a single one of them is in any way, shape or form worth owning. With the exception of the lemon remix from the best of. But I'm sure we all own the best of...
Ryan I'd give the deluxe a miss if you already own the collectors. It has pretty packaging (providing you don't look too closely at the type), bit I'm assuming it's fairly similar if not identical to the collectors' packaging.
I'll be able to compare for you as soon as my collectors' edition arrives...
