OK so you get the pack a week early, but you don't get to play the game a week early? Seems bloody pointless. Who cares about getting the toys and memorabilia early when it's the game you'd want to have the privilege of playing early by paying large amounts of money for the extra special product.
As a collector's item a physical copy of the game should be an integral part of the product. If I was a true blue collector I'd be buying the collector's item and wanting to keep the game case and disc in mint condition by never opening it, and I would buy a separate copy of the game to actually play. And in that case getting it a week early means nothing at all.
