Upgrading a standard account to a CE account

[ReverendVerse]

Because Digital River blows, I won't have my CE boxed copy for one to two weeks from now (while it continues it's magical journey in the Midwest). Now that I'm out 80 bucks and I need a code by tomorrow I'm forced to go out a buy a boxed standard edition of the game tomorrow (since digital sales have been put on hold).

If I do that, can upgrade my standard account to the collector's edition when I finally get that in package in?

You can only upgrade a PC Standard account through Digital upgrade or with PS3 Collectors edition, not with a PC Collectors edition.

They must be making a fortune out of this mess!

So, essentially, I can't add a second code from a physical copy to my account?

But if I already have a PS3 standard account, will I be able to upgrade it when I receive my PC CE? (Damn you Amazon, you are late :P)

you can add another physical copy, but they will be different service accounts (character accounts)

So I can upgrade a standard PC edition with a PS3 CE box, but not with the PC CE box? That's retarded.

It's possible between PS3 and PC because they're different platforms. Just like you can't register two PC codes to one service account, you can also not register two PS3 codes to one service account.
If it was not possible to register different platforms onto one service account, people wouldn't be able to play on PS3 and PC with the same service account.
Retarded or not, that's how it works.

Other MMO titles will let you upgrade an existing account to a CE account, if you happen upon a copy of the CE edition. I'm kind of screwed because Digital River screwed up, and it's going to be at least a week or more before I get my CE and I can't play until then. They've already charged me. So my only option is to buy a standard box if I want to play now and just a CE edition I can't use just lying around when I finally get it.
