PS4 digital pre orders!! can we have it!

1. is there really a cutoff date for registerin preorder codes?

Those two have been answered for a while...
1. http://puu.sh/i5vLo/97cbc904e3.png (reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...able_starting/) [It's the 27th if you're lazy.]

Neither of those makes any mention of the cutoff for registering pre-order codes.

The first one indicates there's a cutoff for registering the final code for the actual expansion itself, but far from answering any questions, it just brings up more:

It says that if you do early access but then don't register the expansion by the 27th, you'll have issues, but what sort of issues? What if (as is likely to be the case for a number of people) their game doesn't arrive on time?

And is that 27th cutoff only relevant if you do the early access? What if you register a pre-order code but don't take part in early access? Does the expansion itself still need to be registered by the 27th in order to keep the other pre-order bonuses?

2. what happens to those who preordered physical copies but dont get shipped til the 23rd will they still get the preorder bonuses??

2. People who ordered physical copies still get the preorder bonuses. We redeemed the code on the preorder site. (I have them and I preordered the Physical CE for PC)

Well, if you already have yours and redeemed it, then the question obviously doesn't apply to you. Just because you're all set doesn't mean those who aren't wouldn't be entitled to some answers.


And incidentally, sometime in the last 3 or 4 days Amazon has changed their description of the pre-orders. They used to say:
"Both Early Access and DLC will be run through one combined code that will be emailed starting 6/19."
Now that's been changed to:
"Bonus DLC will be run through one code that will be emailed before launch."
and all mention of early access has been removed from the page.

So, as if waiting until the 19th to find out if we can get a code wasn't bad enough, apparently now they don't expect to even make that and have moved it back to just sometime before launch. Combined with their "valid while supplies last" caveat (and a tendency for supplies not to last), we're not going to know until launch whether our pre-orders actually count as pre-orders. At that point it will be too late to do anything about it if they don't.
