To be fair, if this is true... this is pretty inconsiderate to PS3 players who preordered off the Square Enix site. There was no notification ahead of time that the only way PS3 players would be able to participate in EA is by the PlayStation Store.

Considering it only appeared on the Store a few weeks ago... This doesn't affect me because I'm on PS4, but if I was (still) a PS3 player, I would be pretty livid.
