Isn't it more like $20 or whatever the difference is between the regular version and this special edition? Still kind of dumb, but at least it is a bit more reasonable.

$30 for the early access plus a bit of micro transaction currency.

Questionable value, but a terrible headline.

So prorata its $10 per day?

I'm not buying NCAA so I didn't do it (and won't do any ultimate team nonsense or pay at all for early access), but there was a bundle of the $100 NCAA and Madden deluxe editions for $150 on PS5, so only $10 extra if you were going to buy both.

Worth noting that a lot of the people buying are doing it because they're playing the awful Ultimate team cash vacuum and they aren't actually "spending extra" for early access and would have bought the same version without it.
