FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

Oh I know I automatically receive the digital CE items / game dlownload as a 1.0 CE holder, what I am looking for is the Physical items. Soundtrack, Art, Seventh Era Disc, and Art Cards, and possibly the box art. Without needing to repurchase everything =)

Im still confused, I was thinking of upgrading my 1.0 standart eddition to Collectors one, will it be able before the game launch or only after it?

Users who purchased and registered the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector's Edition, the bonus items will be sent by Mog Letter without having to input any additional codes.
Users who purchased the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector's Edition but did not register the code will need to input the Collector's Edition registration code.

Does anyone know how to check if you've entered in your Collector's Edition registration code?

I haven't seen anyone ask this question and I really want to make sure of the answer before I make a purchase. If you have a legacy account and you purchase the Hard copy of the CE, can you use that code on your legacy account or do you need to buy the digital upgrade to be able to apply it to your legacy account?

Camate, a clarrification is in order. I just pre ordered the PS3 CE from SE. On the completion page it stated, in RED, that my order would not ship til after the official release date of 27 Aug 2013. While I am Legacy and will get Early Access via my PC what about all the new subscribers who pre order from SE expecting early release entry. If they chose the default USPS Ground shipping they will not see their product til after the official release date if this true

You can use the codes on any account, including your existing one.

There's a preorder page it should be linking people to, http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/us. You basically get a redemption code with your preorder, then come and stick it in this page when they announce it, and you get to download the software for early access.

Players Who Own the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector’s Edition
Players who own the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector’s Edition will receive the FFXIV: ARR Collector’s Edition in-game bonus items (Helm of Light, Baby Behemoth Minion, Behemoth Barding, and Coeurl Mount) for free. The in-game bonus items will be delivered via Moogle Letter when FFXIV: ARR launches.

So all of our characters get this stuff, right? Even new characters we make? Or is it just pre-existing characters? I only ask because of the below note on the upgrade...

Collector's Edition Digital Upgrade Service
The Collector's Edition digital upgrade offers customers the ability to upgrade their standard FFXIV account to Collector's Edition status via the “FFXIV Service Center” website that is scheduled to be opened at the launch of official service, which then grants the in-game bonus items included with the Collector's Edition. Customers in possession of the Collector's Edition for either version 1.0 or A Realm Reborn will receive these Collector's Edition items without needing to purchase the upgrade.
* Characters that have already been created will be able to receive the items.

Every character will get the items, I believe that bottom line note is because in 1.0 the in-game items you got when pre-ordering or from collectors would only be applied on new characters, any pre-made characters wouldn't get them.

For example in my case I had to send them a ticket and in the end I had to create a new character because I didn't applied the bonus items code before I made my character on the head start.

So is anyone else having problems with payment authorizations when trying to buy the CE through Square-Enix' store? I've already tried several times, and have looked at my online balance statements(Chasebank), and I keep getting failed authorization notices. I wish I could just buy this thing through Amazon.
