I have a question regarding this..

In the past, when you applied a bonus code to your service account, the items pertaining to that code could only be obtained by characters you created after the code was applied, and the already existing characters could not receive the benefits.

So, if you pre-ordered the PS3 version and applied the pre-order bonus code to an existing Legacy account, would the existing Legacy character(s) be able to receive the pre-order bonus items, or does it only apply to new characters created afterward?
