But if we dont have an active account (because we cant input the code), then how would you expect us to login first then input the code?
You don't log into the game to redeem the code.

Enter the pre-order code on your PlayStation®3 console, using either of the following methods:

・PS3 system [XMB(X Media Bar)] → [Account Management] → [Redeem Codes]
・PS3 system [XMB(X Media Bar)] →[PlayStation®Store]→[Redeem Codes]

Though if the PSN is still down for maint you might not be able to right now.
