PS4 Pre-order confusion

[Niwashi]

I'm certain most of us couldn't care less about the bonus items, at least I really don't, what matters most to me is the early access.

I'm more interested in the bonus items (particularly the earrings, but the circlet looks nice too, couldn't care less about the minion, though). I doubt I'm going to get a chance to play that first weekend anyway, but even if I could, I don't really see the advantage of doing so then rather than a couple days later.

Well I just figured if early access is no issue then most could just get a physical version say from Amazon even if that means missing out on early access. One of the main reason like some here about wanting the digital from PS Store is already having funds for it on the store.

Says Bayonne:

Yup, Amazon is a participating retailer in the pre-order campaign and will be handing out pre-order codes in the future!

About PSN pre-orders:

Yes, as I mentioned, they will include the pre-order bonuses (early access is a pre-order bonus).
Also, I know you're all very anxious that it's not available yet, but keep in mind that we still have plenty of time until the launch (or start of early access) for pre-orders on PSN to begin. We're very much aware you're all waiting (very patiently!) and are working on it.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to use the multiquote option properly.

I preordered the physical at my nearest EB Games about a month or so ago, and got the preorder code (for the items and early access) two weeks ago... entered it after I found out that the issues with the code causing data corruption or w/e had been resolved. Sad thing is... here in Australia, EB Games has a weird method for this preorder code. Only those who preorder the Heavensward + Full game version will GET the code. Those who just preorder the expansion by itself, will NOT get the code.

Thing is... the CE debacle was mishandled right from the start. Rumor was only about 200-300 CE's were initially available on EB Games AU website for purchase via online store only which were all sold within minutes. Then a second batch came round and, again, were sold within minutes. There are a LOT angry people who just want to know what is going and when it'll be available on PSN for order. I'd go one further and ask if the PSN digital download (when it comes out, hopefully when the store resets next month) will be either the standard edition OR collector's edition. But... SE and Sony are being tightlipped about it...

ah, eb games being as corrupt as usual. as for the digital version, yes, there is a digital collectors edition. it is currently available on the JP side of PSN.

Pretty much... take after their parent company.

I've seen a screenshot someone took of the Heavensward download on their JP Account. So it IS available... Hopefully when the PSN store resets next week, we'll see something similar for NA (NTSC) and EU (PAL) PSN stores... which as Australia is under PAL, we might see something for us Australian members. Just... need to know a idea of A: How much it'll be and B: Is the digital CE a limited time deal or not... If B is a yes, then I'm S.O.L. as I won't have the funds til 2 days after the reset >.<

there is no reason to really worry about if there is a limited amount of digital CE. data is not something that can run out.

Japan makes ppl pay about 6000yen or so for NA it be about 59.99$ for the CE EU not sure

Preorder bonuses will probably be the same as before. You should get them right up to the day before release.

I personally purchased 2.0 on release A DAY before early access and a few of my friends picked it up the day before release in order to get their preorder bonuses.

They are NOT going to screw a whole group of people who purchase digitally. It'll probably be out on the PSN for June 1st or the first week of June when everyone starts getting charged for their preorders.
