Early Access for Pre-order Consoles?

For all those that Pre-ordered on Console, could we say get a weeks headstart code to download the game and have it activate on the 2nd June? This is not a "Console Transfer" post, but a bonus for pre-ordering the console version, thankyou.

    They have said it won't be accessible until midnight local time on 9 June so the only headstart is to play it in an earlier timezone.

    noob question...when we say midnight 9 June, do we mean Monday night(8th June), when at 00:00 the day turns into 9th? Or Tuesday night?

    Good point.

    Midnight is used incorrectly more often than not. With the 24 hour clock it's less ambiguous and 2400 hours is the end of a day and 0000:01 the beginning of the next... so you have to look at the context:

    ESO on consoles releases on the 9th and they decided to make it @ 0000:01 (assuming they can actually be that accurate lol. Typically it will be "soonish" after that) of the 9th for each time zone for a staggered start... and that second happens just two seconds after 2359:59 on the 8th... so have a nap on the afternoon / evening of the 8th if you want to start playing it at "midnight."

    Aren't you glad you asked? :)
