Good on you, very good on you.  It's difficult to restrain ourselves from ordering something we want, but sometimes you have to look at the precedent that would be set.  We've seen a great deal of issues arise from this, with the lack of foresight people exhibit throughout the years, and I personally don't think it's done the industry or gamers any favors.

Plus, let's be honest, releasing the game 4 days early, seems like the dumbest pre-order bonus I've ever heard of.  I mean, that should be a newcomer to the Mt. Rushmore of idiotic ideas.

Well they are not the first to release earlier... COD did it didnt they last year with a Day 1 special edition, which was 1 day earlier or some weird crap. 

Ok, so they've both adopted the dumbest preorder I've ever heard.   It's a shitty practice, and buying into it is a terrible thing for the industry.
