They're right in wanting to do something special for the limited edition box, and although asking the same price for the regular one is a bit... odd, that's not too bad either. But:
WHY NOT TELL US about the extra bonus disc and the signature?
People who have this on order at Amazon (as well as people who were waiting a bit to scrape the money together) missed out on this because of that. There was no reason whatsoever to hold back this information.

I am NOT involved in the making of this box set, but just speculation...I'm thinking this bonus disc was kind of a back up plan JUST IN CASE, the box is delayed a bit. Maybe they had enough extra goodies for another CD and thought, hey let's have this back up CD JUST IN CASE, the box is delayed. Just a CD to send out with a great signature to say, hey man sorry it's going to be a little longer, please except this gift as a nice thank you for waiting so patiently. I don't see ANYTHING wrong with that.
Richard is an avid soundtrack fan and he knows this board, so he knows FOR A FACT, that if this huge box set was going to be delayed for any reason, that the fans would go nuts and there would be hell to pay, I think this extra CD was a good way to keep us at bay, if you get my idea!!

The problem is that EVERYONE has to wait the additonal 2 month - whether he bought it through the WB Store, Amazon or somewhere else. But ONLY the first 1000 WB Store customers are getting this special disc as a compensation for the waiting time.

And that's because those of us who purchased this thing from Warner Bros. direct have to pay more, plus a whole lot for shipping, too. You see, there are soundtrack gods.

Only if you ordered through Amazon. But if you order now the regular edition through the Warner Brother Store you pay the same $499 plus the high shipping costs. So you pay exact the same price/shipping but you won't get the bonus disc.

Here's the problem - when this thing went up at amazon the second pressing had not been announced and therefore everyone who has preordered this up until, when, a couple of days ago, should get the bonus CD because amazon was selling the limited edition not the new one. There is no way around this, I'm afraid and the right thing needs to be done. In order to sell out the limited edition they made copies available to e-tailers. Now they're sold out and saying that only pre-orders through the WB Shop get the extra disc. How many pre-orders WERE there through the WB Shop, because there most certainly were not 1000 pre-orders or they could not possibly have made it available to other e-tailers. You see the problem here - so they are not making 1000 of the new CD because why should they when they don't have that many pre-orders?
I love you large, Mr. Kraft, but this needs to be included with ALL the amazon pre-orders that were made before the announcement of a) the delay, and b) the second pressing. Taschen would not do this on a book, whether it was bought at Taschen or elsewhere. And their second printings of certain things are never identical to the first.

Going to be worth it, though. I'm dying for expanded Pee Wee, Beetlejuice, Batman Returns (I know, I know, the big one is coming), Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare, Sleepy Hollow, and Big Fish. Heck, even the lesser Burton movies have scores that are well worth revisiting - Charlie, Apes, Alice. The scores are gorgeous.

How do you know there wasn't a second pressing R/Etailers were autorized to wholesale? You are making assumptions and being a malcontent, you're arguing that just because some decided to order from Amazon and elsewhere they deserve it.
I recall Taschen's The Stanley Kubrick Archives, The first printing included a strip of 70mm print of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
