Pre-loading On Xbox One and PS4

I and many others were all looking forward to the pre-order/pre-load feature available to us on the current-gen consoles, but despite these features being available we won't be able to play the downloaded game until 3:01 AM PDT on either console. Is it just me or does this defeat the purpose of the pre-load in the first place? For now I'm keeping my physical pre-order so I can do the half hour install and be able to jump in asap. Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter and I wanted to know what you guys thought.

  • If it saves me from going to a midnight launch, then I don't mind a slight sacrifice in time. I will also add, this is new to consoles, digital will have its benefits in the future.

    • You can only do this if you got the digital right!?

      • Well it saves you the super-long download time of the game. My home internet blows, so I'm sure it'll get a couple hours' worth of downloading the initial file out of the way, first. I wonder if there will be a long initial bootup like the beta..

        You can play at 12:01 PST and 3:01 EST which are the same time. Sorta lame for you east coasters but Microsoft/Sony probably don't have a reliable way to source your exact location to establish your timezone. Luckily here in Oregon I can play at midnight. I already have my digital guardian edition preloaded and ready to go.
