      It says it includes a story expansion. Obviously it will be available for purchase separately but I doubt it will be less than $30.

      I almost wish I’d just bought that to be playing now. I’m waiting for the “release”, though.

    I think most people that cared about the game could hand over $30 more for “early access”, will full release push the needle that much? I don’t know, don’t think so.

      Copies of the Premium edition were included with a lot of graphics card sales, and there’s been a lot of upgrading going in with some card prices coming down. It could be a significant factor.

        That’s exactly how I got my copy. The highest tier AMD GPU (7900 XTX, 24 GB) dropped to $800 on Amazon sometime in July, performing about 95% as fast as an RTX 4090 in most titles, which cost $1600-1900 (10% sales tax), and outperforms or matches the 4090’s performance in Starfield.

        I’m getting 108 FPS on 4K Ultra outdoors, and 128 FPS indoors, with Resolution Scale at 100% and FSR disabled.

        Best impulse purchase of the year.

      It’s going to be on game pass day 1. Why would I pay full price + 30 more to play 5 days early?

        If you’re on gamepass you only pay the 30 extra not full price. I didn’t either but was tempted.

        Because you don’t want to be left behind or because neurotransmitters are already going pog just thinking about the game and you need your fix.
