"No Valid Service" PS3 [XMB] Mail.

[JAMurida]

So the situation is like this:
1. Still no XMB message at the moment
2. We've got refunded to our wallet for what we purchased, either Standard or Collector Edition
3. In Services List, the game itself and the early access service expires on 08/23/2013
4. The FFXIV theme from the Download List is gone (I guess the game is still in my download list because I enrolled the open beta of PS3 before)
5. Depends on which version we purchased, we cannot purchase that one again
6. As long as your downloaded it already, the game is still sitting in your PS3 (of course, they cannot remotely delete it)

Conclusion:
I assume they are still in the middle of processing and will send us XMB message about how we could get it back. (I'm not sure but most likely a re-download is not even needed if we are doing everything right, what makes us cannot play is the validity of the code, not the downloaded content)
What we need to do now is just wait a bit more! There is progress already, and SE, Sony and us are so close to make it!
Buying a copy of the another edition may grant you the access to early access again and let you patch your client, but only do this if you don't mind taking the another edition instead! Moreover, no one guarantee this act may mess up some other thing at the moment. Take your own risk.

Agreed, I say people should wait and see what's up before spending the refunded money. Surely it's just a matter of time now.

I also have 39.99$ sitting in my psn wallet. I do not want a refund. I also did not recieve any messages via XMB mail. I am going to wait till they say something first.

Confirmed. Those who bought the game during the 13th and 15th will not get EA. However, we get the game for free:

Normally that's probably the case, but for this special situation I think they expedited this process... the services list for FFXIV all expire today. This theoretically means they are cleared at midnight. Still, best to just wait for SE to say something official. If they make us wait 5-7 I will rage.

I agree. And that's what I think is going to happen. 12 a.m.(PST) we will get a clearing and be able to buy it.

I can live without the CE. Really only got it for the Coeurl mount and Behemoth Barding. But those aren't game breaking for me. Just treats.

My guess is they have to do the following:

1. Refund us all the $$$.

2. Delete the client from our individual transaction histories.

3. Send us messages telling us it's once again available for purchase.

That all may take quite some time.

I may just delete my CE and download the regular version. Would rather play now.

I do too, but I want my CE.

Boy that sucks if he's saying the truth. Well, I downloaded the standard edition, patching seems to be going well. Need to play in early access!

That's not really confirmation. If he really was talking to a rep, they seem clueless. I say just wait.

Still not convinced those reps are giving the right info. We will see.

Let me know how it goes. I'm considering doing the same, but am curious as to how the EA expiration date (that now reads today in my Services List) will work with downloading the regular version tonight, if there will be any conflict. I'm considering waiting until tomorrow morning to do the purchase. Please let me know if you're able to download, update, log in, etc. with no problems.

If you purchase again tomorrow morning is it still considered a "preorder"? Would you even get early access on your services list, and the bonus items? Wonder when preorders are cut off....

Did you deleated your past client? I am also doing this but dunno if I should deleated and then re-download it.
