Correct, as of right now you can launch the ps3 launcher from the xmb and as soon as you do it starts the linking process. Even if you were in ob phase 4 it will still redo it. At that time you pick the ffxiv service account you want to attach EA and items to and that is it. You can of course redeem EA code online at the sony entertainment network account provided it is working. (which it may or may not be) You cannot though link anything without a ps3 at this time. I confirmed this by waiting on web chat hold for 2 hrs yesterday. I hope this helps.
