If you start a new game you will get the bonuses, as quite a few of us found out when we had to start new games after installing Dark Arisen hopelessly corrupted our existing save game files. Just make sure you have an existing saved game when you first start DA. For instance, I had to put in the original DD disc and start a new game with that. You don't even have to play through the opening, just let it create the initial checkpoint save, then exit from the game. After that, put your DA disc in and start up. It should let you know that the bonuses have been added, then you can start a new game with the bonuses. This is the method I use also for my other PSN accounts so that I can have multiple characters/saves going.
