I agree 110%. I didn't notice when this changed, but it's very strange. Really puts you in the mindset that you're paying extra to get the game on the regular day and penalized for buying the normal version.

I don't know if this was some 'genius' idea to get people to pony up for the more expensive versions, seems like it, but I would think the allure of getting the game 'early' would be to play it the weekend before it is 'released'. Since, you know, people are usually busy during the week.

But this is coming from someone who normally has no desire to buy the premium versions (outside of M18 GOAT.. which I only bought thinking the game icon would be the GOAT cover... and it wasn't haha), having them released on a Tuesday kinda kills any draw for me, especially since I live overseas and it's on a Wednesday. And the bonuses are usually digital currency related for some online mode I don't play to boot.
