Collectors Edition Content Digital Download Redemption Guide

SO as i stated above i have the physical CE and my code is telling me its invalid or already used. I cant post forums here like i could in beta for some reason. if someone doesnt mind spending a few minutes myself and im sure many others would appreciate a thread made for people who dont have the digital copy to retrieve a code via online third party.


need a new thread for physical copy please and thank you.

I have a 1.0 account running on PC and ordered the PC CE too. So from what I'm reading I'm screwed until SE can figure this out. lol

Everyone from 1.0, regardless of CE or non-CE status, gets a free "key" to ARR. If you had wanted the CE, you should've just purchased the digital upgrade. If you had wanted the physical CE, then you should've purchased the PS3 instead, so you can register the key and have an available option for that platform. This was discussed to death for months and on various forums, including Amazon, Newegg, Gamefaqs, etc. You'd have to be living under a rock to not have seen those discussions.

Honestly I never heard that is was discussed that people wouldn't be able to upgrade to CE with the physical version. Never read it anywhere. And I'm not the only one this affected so I find you telling me that I must have been living under a rock as kind of rude, but whatever. Doesn't change the fact that I am NOT the only person who never read that anywhere. I pre-ordered my CE in May and no where during that time did it mention any of this and from my understanding, it didn't get brought up until late july/early August, so even if I HAD seen that, it would have been too late to buy the physical copy of CE on PS3 as they were pretty much sold out everywhere by that time.

Doing anything on SE's account services is a nightmare, I had to buy a digital copy from gamestop, download their app, make an account with them, redeem the code, go onto the SE account, and try to figure out how to link the two together. WoW may be a terrible game, but at least their website is extremely user friendly.

This what i got after downloading my CE from PSN onto my PS3:

What's going on SE? This makes no sense... and we still haven't gotten a response?

*EDIT* I'd rather not pay for the Collector's Edition a second time, but if that's the only way to fix this I'll do it... and never be foolish enough to have faith in Square-Enix's business process from now on, which means I won't be buying your stuff because I'm afraid I'll just get screwed over yet again (This isn't the first time).

I got to register the 12 digit code(XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that came with the physical copy of my CE. It's on the manual inside the disk case, on the back. Apparently it has to be registered with SONY PSN to play it on PS3.
