I still don't get the logic of providing a steelbook (jumbo in fact) when they are just providing a digital code. Apparently this is the logic behind the digital code

Unlike those versions, however, the collector's edition will be available a week early. This will allow CE buyers to begin downloading Halo 5 early, though they'll have to wait until it officially launches to actually begin playing

So you can't play it anyway until launch after preload - so what difference does this make to the normal routine in receiving CE on release day where we can just pop the disc in? I am assuming at most 1/2 a day in waiting for delivery assuming this unlocks at midnight so it's not like everybody will stay awake to play this at midnight anyway especially when the release day is a Tuesday (school and work the following day) on October 27th. To me this makes no sense considering this would only save a few hours of my life and at the end of the day, the people who want to play it ASAP can pre-order digitally anyway.
