Early Access & Account issues (PS3)

[Madeleine]

My case was that I redeemed fine got my code but it won't work in the PSN. It says the code is invalid. I too have a ticket in with SE but like you I'm skeptical anything will happen. I think the best option is to do what most have done: buy the PSN digital pre-order edition and get a refund for the pre-order we got from our stores, mine being gamestop. I'm going to give them until this evening, if it's not fixed, I'm heading to Gamestop for a refund.

This is exactly what I did last night. I contacted SE customer support, and they currently have no solution for invalid PS3 codes. They're super busy, and I honestly feel bad for all the rubbish they're getting from people. I imagine that any sort of fix isn't going to happen before EA, because I think they would have to reset every PS3 owners code and send out new ones. They'll also need to speak with Sony about resetting those codes. Seems like it would be a big process that won't happen any time soon.

So, I just went to the Playstation Store, bought the digital Collector's Edition, and cancelled my order on Amazon. I was guaranteed early access at checkout, was able to download the game straight away, and was even given a Collector's Edition PS3 theme.

I normally like having physical copies of things, but in this case I'd rather have peace of mind.
