Hi,I had some questions I'd like to get answered if someone knows.

So if someone pre-orders,he gets early access to the game,with the physical versions of the game too.

In case I pre-order let's say the Imperial Edition,does that mean that I will get the box a few days earlier ? Are retailers allowed to do that ?

Or will I be given a link to download the client,and will get the physical box on the release date ?

Seeing how this game is so big,it would really be nice if shops were allowed to send the boxes of the physical editions to those who pre-ordered earlier than the release date,so one can install it from the disc(s) and won't have to spend so many hours waiting on downloading it.
