If i preorder?

Ps4 Has the System it will download pre ordered games 48hours before. Is that correct? Because the Timer Shows the official Release (tuesday).
If question 1 is correct, can we play on the 25th?
With live Servers or at least the Tutorial?

Depending on your time zone: anything west of GMT (e.g., the UK) means you'll be playing on the 26th at some point (like a couple hours of head start). Note: PS Store will begin downloads on the 24th. There is no "early access" play, tutorial or not. At least, no one has said anything about that, since the unlock itself is keyed to the PS Store's timer and has nothing to do with FDEV.

Yeah we have been talking about this question for a few days now, I can pick up my physical copy 9pm eastern on the 26th, really hope it works. Which I doubt it will when I get home.

I pre-ordered the Commander Deluxe Edition. Before I pre-ordered, the description said it would be playable on June 27 at 11am Eastern (made no sense). When I pre-ordered it, the e-mail I got said it would be playable June 26 at 9pm Eastern. But the countdown is counting down to 12am Eastern on the 27. I hope we get some clarity on the stream today!

Either way, I took vacation days Tuesday and Wednesday so I a going to space-binge the $#@& out of this game when I can finally play, whether it be 9pm or 12am.

We aren't sure but what I've been seeing is servers go live 12 am bst which on east coast is 7pm. So maybe just maybe we will be good to go Monday night. I pick my copy up 9pm that night. But hopefully they explain on today's live stream

That makes it at noon plus one my time. I tied a string around my finger as to not forget, but at my age, I keep forgeting what the string was for, now I have strings tied to all my fingers. Any idea as to where one can view it, no Concord flight from Mazatlan to London available here.

The PlayStation 4 pre-load system will ensure your games are downloaded and installed up to 48 hours ahead of launch but they cannot be played until the official launch date. We will have more information on when and what you'll be able to play in the live stream tonight.

Was this clarified in the stream? I could only watch a couple of minutes of the stream on mute while at work, I won't be able to watch until tonight.

Now that servers wont be up for midnight release then there is no reason to pre order digital copy really,,example Australians will have to sit on their hands all day waiting

From Ps4 Livetsream FAQ
When will the servers be up and running?
The current plan for this is to allow commanders to start the game, link their PSN account to their Frontier account and play the Training Missions from midnight on June 27. We'll know an exact time for the servers closer to release. Keep an eye on our forums for more information on this.

So you can play training missions from Midnight until servers are online in the afternoon sometime....

Works for me in Australia - midnight UTC is 10am Tuesday for me, so will have all day to play the training missions, and get used to the DS4, and decide whether I need to rush out and buy the T.Flight immediately, and then get ready to start playing on Wednesday morning Australia time (assuming I don't stay up all night waiting for the servers to go live).
