So I am a legacy CE owner, and I was a beta tester, and I have the game installed on PS3 already, along with my pre-order code.

It appears to me, that when I go to pick up the game for PS3, I don't actually need the code that comes with the game. Is this correct? The reason I ask is, if I already have the preorder items, and the CE items, and I get my account from Legacy status, if I can continue playing on the PS3 without issue, then I'd rather give the game to my significant other and have them play with me.

Basically point was, why waste a registration code if it's not necessary? So, is it necessary? The game already patches and gets to where I would log in.
