EA have sent me 2 codes one beginning PSEA0M and the other PSEG0M, but on my account pages with EA it has WARSEA i'am a bit confussed here any idea what they all mean.
Is the same true for using a SE Headstart code and then (on the 18th) a CE game key? As I for some reason have a SE headstart code even though my actual game and purchase were CE Pre-order....not amused...Accounts which has been Head Start activated with a CE pre-order account to play the can be fully activated with a normal Standard Edition retail copy. The Head Start and the bonus items wouldn't be subtracted from your account or anything so you essentially buy a standard copy of WAR and pay 10€ for a few days of Head Start and an in-game item.
The bonus heads, extra quests and unique titles will only be awarded and activated upon entering retail Collector's Edition codes.
So to some extent, it's basically possible to cheat the system. However, the really cool in-game stuff along with the physical bonuses remain unique to Collector's Edition owners.
