I would like to mention this is not new. This has been something mentioned since Phase 3 of beta that i was aware of. Which is the sole reason why i bought the PS3 edition of the game. I already owned 1.0 and knew that all 1.0 players, legacy or otherwise, get a free, equal, version of ARR. if you had 1.0 you got ARR, and if you had 1.0 CE you got ARR CE. Plus 14 days to play before you have to start paying. And if you got and added the PS3 version to your account, you got an additional 30 days of free play.

Edit: I would also like to mention that SE offered CE upgrades for 1.0 owners who didn't have the CE. So that you can get the CE items without having to pay for the full game.
