Does anyone know if the Digital Upgrade will work for PS3?
Toys R Us is still selling the PS3 CE that comes with the digital items. However it does not come with the early access.
So my choice is to stick with the standard PS3 version from Amazon and have the early access and upgrade if available or order CE from Toys R Us and gain the in game items but lose the early access?
I believe the in game items are worth more to me than a week of early access, however if I will still have the ability to get the in game items at launch I will just stick with the current standard PS3 order.

I was under the impression that all pre orders came with early access

Yea dude, that doesn't sound like any CE I've ever heard of.... No early access? Sounds like they don't know what they are talking about.
I'm actually in the same position as the OP. The only PS3 CE's left aren't available from the list of participating SE retailers (Amazon, Game Stop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, SE Store), so that means they don't come with the pre-order bonuses. That is, any CE bought from a different retailer doesn't come with early access, the cait sith minion, or moogle hat. You'll get all the CE items however.
As to the OP's question, I think the Digital CE Upgrade will work with the PS3 version.

Since it's an account upgrade, I think it will be applied directly to your FFXIV service account. Meaning it should work with PC or PS3. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
I think I've decided to pre-order the standard edition myself, but I'm still trying to figure out if the digital CE is worth $19.99 without anything physical to show for it.

I'm sorry to say that it would have been to pre-order when it became available last month :(

Like Final Fantasy XI, the game specs will be extremely high for the time, but in about 5 years, an average machine can run it on max settings with little to no issues. Tanaka also expressed interest in making a benchmark program available.

I endorse this thread.
Just a quick history, i pre-ordered PS3 CE the day it was announced. however the card i used was lost and since replaced. Since they have not charged me for the purchase yet i can only assume the purchase will not go through when they charge me later. As a result I had to order again, i ordered from Amazon the other day and did receive the standard pre-order email with my codes to enter later. So i believe pre-order codes may still be available. However it appears that not all vendors selling the game can issue pre-order codes.
I have sent an email to Toys R Us support to confirm but there is nothing on the product page about the pre-order bonus.

I think this relates only to the codes that come directly with each respective version of the game. The CE Digital Upgrade seems to be another, after-the-fact option that requires you to have already purchased the game.

Do we know what status benefits come with the early access items, such as the helmet? I'm assuming the barding etc won't have any benefit beyond aesthetic value.

So the Bonuses look like this.
If you pre-order the standard version, you get Early Access, a Cait Sith Minion, and a Mog Cap.
If you buy the Collector's Edition, you get a Helm of Light, a Coeurl Mount, Behemoth Chocobo Barding, and a Baby Behemoth Minion.
If you pre-order the Collector's Edition, you get all of the above.
Out of all of those bonuses, the only things that aren't just aesthetic are the Mog Cap and Helm of Light. For those, I'd expect maybe a light exp bonus for low level jobs and something fun to wear. Definitely nothing game breaking.

What ever happened to them adding the digital download collectors addition for the PS3? has not happened yet.. The full box CE version for the ps3 is sold out.
That could hurt and make people angry if they don't release one. I have friends that didn't want the box versions which was stated would only be limited. but wanted only the downloadable ps3 version because it was cheaper and they didn't want the cards and stuff but wanted the in-game items..

After reading the the offical site notes it looks like digital upgrade will be for both platforms. However I cannot be 100% sure. But if true this worked out best considering I will save $20 in the end. Although I would like to have the Seventh Umbral movie.

Digital upgrade is for v1.0 people.

since you have to own the original game I doubt it will be for the ps3.

I'm not reading this quite the same way. The Pricing/Platform page doesn't specify a platform or version for the digital upgrade, nor do the notes. It simply says that if you've already purchased a CE, you don't need to purchase the upgrade. I can't imagine SE leaving the PS3 out of the loop on this even if only for the fact that it might annoy hardcore Japanese collectors. My guess is they release the PS3 digital info along with the FFXIV Service Center website they mention in the notes.
You should be able to play your account on Ps3 or PC regardless on what you originally purchased.
The digital upgrade is only for the PC account in a way that it doesn't offer a ps3 download, but if you get the upgrade, and have access to the ps3 software then the upgrade will still be on your account if you play on the ps3.

I can confirm Amazon is offering the PS3 collectors edition again. I have cancelled my standard edition and ordered the collectors addition. I also received my pre-order code in a matter of minutes.

I guess that's true. but requires you to still buy a ps3 version.
