yeah.. it was pretty lame that their preorder site said that early access was a week long and then they changed it. I have a feeling that it won't end up being a full week. Phase 4 will most likely be a full week though.
I'm really rooting for the 9th or soon after for P4 though so I can get the most out of my pre-launch time. I'm about to start a new position at my job and I'll most likely have to work a lot of extra hours for pre-emptive training over the next couple weeks. I tried to use a bit of vacation time for the early access but since we are short so many people (down to 13-14 when we had 20-23 x.x) that was a no go. I might end up calling in and using a personal day or two though during early access. It's not like we haven't been having people do the exact same the past few weeks x.x.
