Guys be aware! For early access...

[Sagittae]

This is true, the pre-order code you get from retailers used to unlock EA does not seem to be platform-bound. You can select either PC or PS3 when you redeem it. However, if you redeem for PC you won't be able to play EA on PS3, regardless if that's the version you pre-ordered. The platform of your choosing when redeeming is the platform you'll get EA for, nothing else.

I can confirm this, as it is exactly what I did. I pre-ordered a PS3 copy from GameStop and used the EA code for my PC. The launcher has since had me agree to a couple new documents and made a small patch, letting me know to wait for EA or official launch to play.

^ And as a 1.0 non legacy, you don't need to download 2.0 all over again, correct? (i just updated a moment ago but it wasn't a big update.)

If you're on the phase 4 client, you are good to go! (Currently ver. 2013.08.22.0000.0001)

EDIT: Lost my daily posting limit virginity with this post, see you guys tomorrow I guess.

If anyone is having problems or questions, skim through this thread as I think we've pretty much covered all the most common issues here.

So do they allow you to link the ps3 early access to a SE account now? When I downloaded and started it yesterday I just got a page that said under maintenance and there was no way to tie it to an existing account from there.

[Orsnoire]

Has this actually been confirmed by SE or is this just OP's speculation? Seems like it would be more trouble then its worth to set the code where you could only play on one type of system.

This has been confirmed before several times.

You have to own a copy of the game for the platform you want to play on, so if you have 3 accounts and you want PC/PS3 access on all 3, you need 3 PC codes, and 3 PS3 codes. So yeah, their entire account structure is already set up to differentiate between PS3 and PC

If I am Legacy with 1.0 CE, but registered a new CE PS3 code does that mean I won't be able to log onto PC?

1) Your Legacy 1.0 CE account should have EA.
2) Your CE PS3 should also have EA.

I'm guessing you have two separate SE accounts for each platform right? If so, you should be able to log on both platforms as long as your PS3 isn't linked to your existing PC account.

Yes, I was able to link my PS3's SEN account to my Legacy PC account earlier. Currently, there is maintenance being done on the SEN from 3PM-9:30PM EST. I'd imagine that after maintenance, those that had the errors earlier should be able to link their PS3 SEN account to their existing 1.0 SE account to gain EA.

Thanks Weks! I will give it a try later this evening when the Sony network maintenance is over.

Also if you are registering a PS3 code. @3pm pdt 8/22/13, PS3 Account Services are undergoing maintenance. looks like i won't be able to download ps3 till tomorrow. . . SE said they were gonna email me a code and instructions, but still have not received the email. good thing i printed off the code.

[Myric]

I called up gamestop and got a new preorder code due to the ps3 code error and it not being able to be used for pc ea. Used the new code and selected pc this time and got the 20 digit code and activated ea on pc just fine.
