I don't understand, why isn't the game in with this ?
You're completey misinterpreting it.
You order the CE at the retailer and the retalier is responsible for giving you the game at release with the extras to be shipped to you by Bethesda.
Actually, they're offering a pretty reasonable explanation:

The idea itself kinda makes sense I guess, but that doesn't look like $100 of stuff to me.
I think calling it Wolfenstein: The New Order Panzerhund Edition is a bit misleading, should be something like W:TNO Panzerhund Accessory Kit.
The correct interpretation of their store page (and that tweet) is that it doesn't include the game. If somehow they mean to include the game, it's incredibly poor writing. It's disappointing to see "lol, reading comprehension" from people here just because this package doesn't make sense.
Still, the idea of a platform agnostic collector's edition shipped separately is actually a good one; it's simply too expensive here.
Really cool idea. I don't get the backlash.
I like the concept--get the collection edition goodies separate from the game, so you can choose one or the other or both!--but yeah, wasn't planning on buying this at launch anyways and have no interest in shelling out $100 for trinkets.
A bunch of overpriced game junk without the actual game makes sense?
This is obviously silly in terms of price and is terrible in the same way most of these collector's editions are terrible, but conceptually this actually seems like an okay idea.
For the consumer, you can buy the game wherever it's cheapest, and (if they have it) get the retailer specific stuff (retailer specific stuff is also terrible, but that's another topic).
For the company, they don't have to make platform specific collector's editions.
Now, for this to be a good idea, they'd have to price it at the cost of the normal collector's edition minus the cost of the game. I haven't purchased a collector's edition in a long time. Is $160 about right for them?
Great success, can't wait til other companies copy this brilliant idea.
Aye aye, cap'n. Deflector shields at maximum.We're being tested by someone or something. I recommend going to yellow alert.
Meh, it can go right in a lot of ways. Reduce the amount of exclusive content in separate collector's edition SKUs + fans have the option of buying a worthwhile collectible if they love the game.Great success, can't wait til other companies copy this brilliant idea.
