If you want the full experience as the developer intended, you're shilling out for the "Gold" or "Silver" edition. If you're a broke plebe, then it's "Standard" for you. Upping the base price does nothing.
If you can't offer your product at a reasonable price your customers are willing to pay for, that means there's a problem on your end. The customer doesn't care how much time and money it took to make the product, the customer cares about what kind of value he's getting for his money. Anything else is just chuffa.
TL;DR - rein in your ridiculous fucking budgets, EA.
Games already cost $90 USD.
