Foxclonn answered more CE purchasing questions but no one translate. inside one thing is very tricky...
I want to confirm with this translation:
Foxclonn pretty much said if you have 1.0 normal version, purchasing ARR CE for windows will not give you ingame item because it can't link to your 1.0 account...
I read this from foxclonn post#9
it pretty much say (from google translate): if you have normal 1.0 account, you shouldn't purchase ARR PC CE because it can't be added to your old char. you have 2 options:旧FF14通常版を持っていて、既存キャラクターで
予約特典、CE版のインゲームアイテムを受け取りたい場合、
新生FF14CE版を予約し、予約特典コードとCE版付属のレジストレーションコードを
今までのサービスアカウントに紐付ければ
予約特典のインゲームアイテム、CE版インゲームアイテム両方とも
既存キャラクターで受け取ることができるという認識で合っていますか?
予約特典・・・はい、あっています。
CE版特典・・・新生FFXIV Win版を購入しても、既存のサービスアカウントに紐付けることはできないため、
特典アイテムは入手できませんので、インゲームアイテムだけ入手したい場合は、
デジタルアップグレードをご利用ください。
なお、PS3版を購入した場合は、既存のサービスアカウントに紐付けることができるため、
特典アイテムを入手することができます。
1. buy PS3 CE and tie to 1.0 account (I want CE bonus and that music blueray)
2. buy digital CE upgrade later
edit:
Thanks for Aki.I'm going to cancel my pre-order of ARR CE for PC... & sorry for the no-translation bump.

You will receive the pre-order items, but the registration code for the Windows collector's edition cannot be used with a pre-existing Windows service account. To receive the in game items for the collector's edition, please use the digital upgrade.What if I bought the old version of FFXIV, and I already have characters on my account, but I'm looking to get the in game pre-order and collector's edition items. If I pre-order the collector's edition, then register the pre-order and collector's edition codes to my existing account, will I be able to get all the in game items?
However, the PS3 version can be registered to an existing Windows account, which would allow you to receive the collector's edition items.
to answer mbncd's concern:
you can like me to purchase ARR CE for PS3. [I canceled my ARR CE for windows with no problem. They didn't charge me yet so there is no refund issue.]
ARR CE for PS3 the code is different than ARR CE for Windows that is tied with CE code and FF14 account together. (That's why you can't use it for old account) You can link the PS3 ARR CE to your other non-CE account. Then, both of your account will have CE status, and you can also enjoy the physical gifts come with it.
