Error 3. How is this still a problem?

I'll try the cookie idea

Been having this issue with my wife's account as well. And unfortunately I wasn't paying the most attention while trying to get it to go through, and processed her PC pre-order code as a PS3 code instead, which of course went through instantly. I find it weird that their pre-order code system will allow a user to pre-order a PC version (29.99) and apply the code to the PS3 version (39.99). So now I either have call SE up and try to get it fixed or dump another $30 to get the version she needs to play the game. This feels so backwards.

Cancel and re-order to get a new code is your best bet. Contacting SE on launch day... you going to need more than the powers of the crystals.

Just to report in, also have a friend who is getting Error 3. Changed language and no improvement. Also took note that it took a few times to change the language to English (US) as it kept reverting back to English (UK). It's taken the change now but still having the Error 3 issue.

Edit: My friend's problem is now resolved. Likely due to server congestion. Took him around 2 hours.

i was getting error 3 for a while then found i was entering it wrong

Error 3 shouldn't be an issue at this stage of the launch game. Why isn't there's an update on a fix or official word on a code transfer.

What was it that you were entering wrong?

sigh... this isnt a good sign

Well I give. I'll just get my money back and wait to see if Enix fixes this problem. Just like them to be cheap and lazy on their servers.

That was one of the first things i tried, still no luck. Been getting Error 3 for over 2 hours now.
