Codes not working on PSN and the ARR release fiasco

[Krystal_Storm]

The 4 bonus items (behemoth barding etc) comes with the PS3 orders yes? I got a PS3 code titled "registration code" but when i went to turn it in on PSN it said the code is not on file or is out of date. Is this my bonus item code for PS3 or not? I called my store and she said they have received hundreds of calls from people wanting refunds for not being able to play the game and she thinks the codes not working is related to the server issues.

Suffice to say they are offering refunds to everybody and she said i am welcome to it if they fail to deliver my bonuses or a working game in the next few days. I am hoping it doesn't come to that so i will ask the community. Anyone on PS3 how did you get your 4 bonus items? Was it the PS3 registration code that came with the game or something else? I am personally sick of registering hundred of codes all over the place they are hard to track. I would have thought they would be with my mog cap and cait sith doll but apparently they are not. -.-

I don't think they even sent out collectors edition codes yet for people who didn't have 1.0. If someone was able to get it they can correct me though.

My codes aren't working either. Comes back invalid JUST like when I got stuck with EU codes which for the record, never got fixed.

After the pre-order junk, this is infuriating. This is an eighty dollar paperweight without the code.

I ordered just the regular one though the quare enix store and i don't even have my game registration code yet, and its not in my order history.. anyone else have this happen?

I haven't gotten my game activation code from SE either. We'll probably get them sometime before our time is up though so I wouldn't worry about it too much until then.

Yeah, I am sure there are restrictions on the codes until launch. That has to be it!

An update: After calling my game store i called PSN for my region and asked him to tell me what their files registered my code as being. He said apparently the registration code registers collectors edition content or some such. He also said to try it in 2 days when the store updates and the codes should be active. If not give them a call with the code and they will look into it. This annoys me a little as you would think they would have updated it last week. They have known about the content for a while it is not like it is a last minute add. (or at least it shouldn't be)

But it really doesn't matter i guess when the servers won't even let me play so having the code work does little for me. -.- All stores in my region are now offering full refunds (because people are very angry and demanding it in the stores) and it looks like my store will be boycotting this release like they did the last FF MMO release. I don't know whether to be sad that SE royally stuffed up yet again and give up or to stick it through and chance them lifting their game. Good MMO's are too few and far between on the Playstation i was so looking forward to hours of happy game play. -.-

I think it's safe to assume that the game has to be considered as "released" before PSN will let us register our codes. We'll see!
