I reserved mine with a deposit thru my local GameStop back on the 5th when the release date was originally the 13th. I’ve done this with all games that I’ve wanted to buy on the release day. In the past, they usually get their shipments in about 4pm on the day of release so I’ve been able to pick it up on the way home for work.
While I haven’t asked what package content, I assume it the premium one because of the following that was posted on the official SH4 website:

It's only for a limited time, but every copy of the game released in US will contain all of those things.
