I kinda like this.

It was weird that so far this wasn't being done, and on top of that this might get the odd person to not pre-purchase something which is always a win.

Also has a con, "advanced access" is just another dogshit way for publishers to farm money from people with their "deluxe" editions. By having people be able to refund could discourage this practice.
