Ok, so I've done a lot of looking around, both here on the forums and all over the interwebz. I read pretty much every thread in here about PS4 early access, but so far my questions haven't been answered. I want to pre-order FFXIV so I can get into the fun tomorrow, but I don't have a PS3. So buying the PS3 version and upgrading is out.
I would like to avoid having to buy a psychical copy of the game if possible, but since I was in the Beta I already have the client downloaded. So there's no purchase option when I go to FFXIV on the PS store. I'm looking to download the digital collectors edition, I'm really only interest in the in-game items, and for an extra 10 bucks, why not go for that over the standard addition.
The only problem is, try as I might, I can't find the digital download for the Collectors edition. And I don't have $80 to spend on the psychical copy right now. I also can't find the digital download for the standard edition either...
Another PS4 access thread! Whoo!

I read somewhere that neither might become available until tomorrow (The 11th) if that's the case then I don't mind waiting, the only thing is I don't want to wait until tomorrow to pre-order, but somehow miss the early access. I doubt it would happen, but I would hate to buy the game tomorrow, and since some people are already playing, have it consider my pre-order as just a normal purchase that is waiting for the game to be shipped out, and not send me an early access code.
So, any thoughts? Should I wait until tomorrow to try for a digital download, or is my only option to buy a psychical copy?

I spoke with SE customer service yesterday and the guy told me that early access is only available for ps3-ps4 upgrade and physical ps4 copy pre-orders. When I asked for clarification that early access was unavailable for ps4 digital copies, he said this was correct. So, unfortunately, if you only want the digital copy you have to wait until the 14th :(

For future reference you can edit original post to get around character limit
