Since yesterday, the price on the EBgames site has gone up to 24.99, and the release day has gone to five days later, being in March now. The price on gamestop is also 24.99, but with a february release date.
I wrote to EB for more information and obtained this response:

Thanks for writing EBgames.com. We are working with Sony to obtain a
supply of a CD version of the game. Unfortunately, it is possible that
we may not receive them until after the download has already been made
available by Sony. Please check back on the product page for the
expansion for any further updates. You can also write us back at any
time if you would like additional information.

So the conclusion? I'm glad I'm able to download the expansion. It saves me the trip to the store, and really, the hassle of installing another set of CDs whenever I format. If the NEW 24.99 price is accurate, it also saves me $14 for my two accounts. Good deal.
But, I'm also glad there will be a CD version for people who are still on dial-up connections or don't have credit cards.
It sounds to me as if people who voiced their opinion in a calm, rational way, were heard and Sony changed their minds about the download only part. Imagine that?
