PC CE for version 1.0, can I get my CE perks if I get a PS3 disc?

I I bought the CE for PC ver 1.0, it says I get ARR free as well as all new CE in-game perks. Very nice of SE.
how, if I get a standard edition PS3 disc, should I still be able to get those perks? I mean, they re associated with the account, right? So if I log into that old account, I should get the perks, regardless of which system I log into, yes?

From what I'm gathering after reading the FAQ. If you bought the CE for 1.0 you get those perks. I believe you will have those regardless of which platform you log into.
That being said, there are separate CE items for the PS3 version, so if you buy the standard edition of the PS3 version, you will not get those perks. If you want the CE items for the PS3 version, obviously buy the CE for the PS3.
I read that differently. It appears that the CE items are the same for both the PC version and the PS3 version. The only differences will be the pre order perks and as SE stated that could be different depending on who you pre order from.
As far as the in game items are concerned if your PC and PS3 versions are registered to the same account then the items you get will be available on both versions.
You're probably right on this one. I've re-read it several times and I'm still just as confused. Either way, if you own CE for either/or, you'll still get some sort of CE items, lol.
If you buy the PS3 version it is completely independent of whatever 1.0 version you bought.
That is what I read. If you look at the bottom of the pre order page there is a link for 1.0 CE owners.
yeah but you can play any account on the PS3 as long as you buy a PS3 FFARR game.
Oh really? So... I only have to buy one PS3 copy for my husband and I both then, since we both have CE 1.0 accounts? I thought you had to register a code to your Playstation account in order to play it on the Playstation?
@JakeBlack
If you have the 1.0 ACCOUNT you can indeed register that on the PS3; however, you will still need to purchase a physical PS3 copy in order to play.
@AliceKay
You can only have ONE account registered on a PS3. So if two people want to play the console version, they need to have two PS3s.
@GrimmxX
If you bought the standard version of the game, I believe you get a discount to upgrade to the CE digital version. I'm not 100% on that, check the official site.

It sounds like the codes are account bound, so if you have a CE code attached to your account, whether it's for the PC or the PS3 version, you'll have access to all the CE items regardless if you make characters on the PC or PS3 version since they're essentially linked together.
