NA PS3 Players with Collectors Edition Pre-Orders in PSN

[NeKr0]

I ripped them a new one with all of my ex-Marine language. Ripped them about CE debacle when "digital is the future of gaming", ripped them on having zero communication skills. Ripped them on sub-par NA servers (that's why my character is in a Japanese server. Even in XI the NA servers were trash). It was quite satisfying

To demonstrate my server accusation: the Japanese server is running great, all area open according to my friends. As NeKrO said, NA instances are down

From one former service member to another Thank You for being one of the 1% who signed up brother

Just to add to this thread, Im not able to access the game due to same error about not having a valid service account. And I got my CE code from GAMESTOP which I entered Thursday. I got my code 6-18-13 and waited this long? I played in BETA3 and 4 and now can't access game at all for EarlyAccess? I did delete the BETA game client as I had the PHASE4/game client so hopefully that didn't trigger something?

That's quite possible. If you dl'd the client during he affected dates, it could be the issue. On your XMB, go to acct management, transaction management and services. Click Ff and check your service dates. If they show start of 8/13-8/15 and end of 8/23 you are suffering g from our problem. If not, it is another issue entirely

Well, I got fed up with not getting answers from anyone in charge, so I called Sony. The wait wasn't long but the news wasn't good. I was told the only information they had to offer on the issue was that we should continue waiting for a message in our XMB. However, the time frame for receipt, when I asked, is supposed to be sometime "early next week." The lady I spoke with also DID NOT recommend using your refund to buy a copy of the Standard Edition as she did not know whether, once the code was sent to your XMB, you'd be able to upgrade from the Standard Edition and get all of your Collector's Edition items. Sorry for the bad news, folks. Hopefully they get a handle on this a bit quicker than that.

I didn't receive a message in XMB either. I can load and log in now, but it won't start. I just get the opening cinema when I click start, over and over.

K so it worked.

Step 1: delete all final fantasy files (your save is on the server, no worries)
Step 2: submit a preorder code
Step 3: reDL EA client
Step 4: Update
Step 5: enjoy

Then you can play while waiting for SE to send your PSN message

Yes, used a preorder code to get access. You don't need to download and delete everything though. It works fine once you submit a new code.

Still waiting for XMB . I bought the PSN collectors edition. Southwest region of the US.
