I bought the ARR CE on ebay for £30 new and unsealed at Christmas, got really lucky with finding it, but yeah, totally agree it's a stupid price point. £70 for a model is ridiculous, something I'd expect from AC or Bloodbourne, not a FFMMO. Even the dark souls 2 CE that came with a 12" statue was a heck of a lot cheaper than this!

How is the early access going to work with the physical editions? Are they going to ship out early and actually have the servers up and running, or is it only the download only that get the early access?
