No, they couldn't play the game a week earlier.
They got the LE console a week early and they got to set up their console early then download the game right on the stroke of midnight on the 27th so they could play it without having to wait a single moment past midnight. Unlike all the people who went to midnight launches who had to queue at the store, buy the console, take it home and boot the game up ( ordownload the game), and set the console up, which would probably mean not being able to play the game until about 3 or 4AM.
One thing I think MS would have been smart to do was make the DL code swappable for a physical copy on launch day, provided you hadn't used the DL code of course.
