Looks like Gamepass gets to play Sep 6, so it isn't the "premium" edition that lets you play Sep 1. Oh well another 5 days won't kill me.
ETA: Microsoft continues to do dumb things with pricing. Standard edition is $70, Premium edition is $100. Yikes, but ok. However, they sell a Premium edition upgrade for $35. Why does Standard + Premium upgrade cost more than Premium?
Man, I really do not like the whole “pay more to play early” nonsense. I can wait the extra days but having to avoid the Internet will be annoying
Likely they think that the upgrade is mainly (maybe exclusively) for people playing via game pass. The $5 more is because you didn't buy the game to start with. They did the same with FH5 when that launched I believe.
