as for getting your pre-order early.. well, you pays you money and takes your chance. Generally games are sent out so they will get to you by/on the release date, which could mean you get it a day or two before, or a day or two after. The only surefire way of getting it is either go to a shop on release day or order via Steam.
(even if you do receive it in the mail two days before, you can't activate it until 12:01am on the 22nd afaik, so it is a bit redundant for most people)
--edit : what Diviner said ^^^ lol
