so basically like any other cd then

True, except this time only limited to 2 versions of bundles.
 

This might help fans..., or not

Record labels might only sell most  expensive bundles options for sale now, like one of those bundle with everything included for $300-$500 or something, cos they gotta get munnies

sucks for everyone that released since 

• merch was all the time allowed but in box sets (Beyonce's Renaissance had 4 box sets with CD + T-shirt)
• In 2020 Billboard changed the shipping rules - physical copies are counted after shipment.
these new fan packs will have to be shipped.
in the past Billboard counted digital downloads that were added to merch bundles toward first week sales and merch could be shipped later, now it's not allowed.
