Well my rationale is that most people want to have the game for the weekend to play and it would make more sense to have the better, or more desirable, version to drop on a Friday and then have the lesser version drop on a Tuesday. What do you guys think, agree? If not, why?

I agree. Its not an early release if it comes out on a Tuesday. Its just a late release for people who get it Friday.

It's really dumb. Many other games do this as well. It makes a ton more sense to release on a Friday as an early release then a Tuesday which is a traditional release anyway.
