    I hope they don't do this. I don't own a PS3 (though I have access to my roommates, she could always move out; no one wants to buy games with a used one-time-use code.), and while I love this game, I could not justify buying a PS3 game just for a collectible item. I'd have a second code, which in large part is what you buy the game for.

    I kind of hope that at 2.0 they will present us with choices. I know I said in another thread that there should be a prompt about whether you want a physical copy of the game (not free) or a digital copy, as an alternative for those who can't/don't want to download the ENTIRE game. Though I have no idea whether they'll like (or see) that idea, it could be expanded:

    You're about to upgrade your FFXIV service account to a Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn service account! How would you like to receive your upgrade?
    • Digital Download (Free)
    • Digital Download with DVD-ROM Backup (USD 4.99)
      • Set of X discs. Ships in 3-4 weeks.
    • DVD-ROM Set with Digital Access ($11.99)
      • Ships in 1-3 days. Also includes access to Digital Download

    When you upgrade your service account, you will retain any bonus features or items you obtained during FFXIV 1.0. Would you like to purchase the included bonus items for Final Fantasy XIV:A Realm Reborn?
    • Standard Edition Bonus In-game Item ($3.99)
    • Collector's Edition Bonus In-game Item ($7.99)
    • Collector's Edition Bonus Full Collection ($19.99)
      • For FFXIV Veterans who have obtained Legacy status, the cost is reduced to $14.99
      • Ships separately from discs, if applicable. Will arrive within 3-4 weeks.
    Just a thought.
