I agree with those who think that "late registration" is good or at least neutral for the players who started on time. The late buy-ins are provided original starting chips, but obviously the M value of the starting stack is lower.
However, this does pretty well transform almost every "Guaranteed" tourney on PS into a rebuy event (no add-on) without an overlay, so there is an element of false advertising.
I think you have to treat these as rebuy tourneys, and play accordingly. I played in a $2.20 with $2k guarantee one last night on PS. When I joined there were ~200 entrants, by the end of the registration there were over 2000. Made the prize pool much bigger, but I rather liked my overlay when it was just me and the other 200 at the start. I was hoping that we didn't reach the guarantee buyins, but I was in for a rude surprise when I notice over 2000 entries!
Anyways, I think you have to play them like rebuys.
