PS3 Early Access

you would be surprised >..> why do you think a lot of games now are coming out with early access or 'beta play' with data that carry to the main game, it is a working selling point, i got the CE for the physical collectors items, but i have herd seen and talked to peeps who are only preordering HW sole for the EA, while only a few are waiting until 2 weeks after launch so they can pay probably a lot cheeper and get into the servers after the masses have flooded all the areas.

so yes, people have pre-order mainly for the EA, the headstart means they can play over the weekend, and not on a work week.
