PC Legacies Can't Get CE Items?

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

How is this not fair?

The point is that if you already have an existing standard edition account, and you purchase a full PC collector's edition, you can't access the digital items that are included in the purchase of the CE. You essentially have to pay twice in order to receive the digital items.

It really shouldn't have happened like this, but I'm glad we found out as quickly as we did.

Today I dusted off my PS3, plugged it into my router, updated it and made my very first PSN account! Even set up Netflix and Amazon Video on it and moved the Roku to the living room!

I cancelled my previously placed pre-order with SE/Digital River for the PC CE and happily ordered my PS3 CE from Amazon.

My only "regret" in all this is that I won't have a physical copy of the PC edition. PS3 will only be a "back up" for me, I don't expect to use it much, hopefully not much at all.

What sucks is for the people who don't happen to have a PS3 laying around. Because for them you can't just say "pre-order the PS3 CE". Not going to do them a lot of good. This definitely should have been done differently.

I'm not taking any actions until I call SE tomorrow asking them about my registration code. I understand why we can't, but it would be nice if we could just look up the registration code right on the SE Account Management page. That way I could cross-reference it with my CE or Standard.

Sorry, I don't understand how your post relates to or is a reply to what I had posted? Forgive me, I'm confused.

Sorry, meant to say I'd gladly just cancel and get the PS3 version, as you had, but I'd rather verify my 1.0 reg code first if possible.

You have concerns/questions about your 1.0 codes?

the way i see it is you can register ps3 stuff to you account weather it be standard or CE but only that accoun will be able to play on ps3 if you want another account to be used on ps3 you would have to buy another ps3 disc.

1.0 CE will get ce digital items just not the preorder ones.

Yes, and the ARR CE will get the physical items but not the digital ones if you have a pre-existing PC service account.

By the way, I'm glad people have been pretty civil on this thread. Thanks!

why couldnt you get the digital ones?

so what your saying is my 1.0 ce will get them but my 1.0 standard account wont be able to? why not all you would have to do is get the digital upgrade tha they have already said you could do to get the CE in game items or use the codes on your standard account but it would be the only one to be able to use ps3.

You may be confused. I have only 1 account, but 2 copies of 1.0: 1 CE and 1 Standard. If I registered the CE back in 2010, I can get all the CE items. If not, I'll have to buy the digital upgrade too add the in-game items to my CE, or just cancel and get the PS3 CE (which I'd rather not).

I don't have that much money to throw around. I'd set this money aside back before 1.0 ended, so I'd rather it not go to waste. If I don't have to buy the digital upgrade, that'd be great! But if that were the case, why couldn't they just automatically bump any 1.0 accounts up to a CE status? It would be faster if the bonus were free.
