There's also no benefit. Why go through the trouble of returning it when you can just buy it when you're ready? There's no harm in waiting a day or two after launch, and you can even buy it on release day. It's not like they're going to run out of licenses.
The benefit is preloading. I can play it at exactly the moment early access opens tomorrow.
Does preloading also let you download the day 1 patch early? Sincere question.
Not sure, but I'm sure it's smaller than the 90GB full game.
