Yes, it's that simple. If you create an austrian PSN account in the time between March 16th and April 18th they'll send you a download code for Wipeout HD to the eMail you registered with.

/edit/ They'll send out the codes after April 18th.

damn, I should have waited.

[Goldrusher]

Wtf?

Why would they do that ?

[Full Recovery]

Wipeout isn't shareable is it?

[TheSonicRetard]

I live in the US. How do I register an Australian PSN account?

[Dibbz]

I live in the US. How do I register an Australian PSN account?

Austrian, not Australian.

What kind of deal is this? Bit odd.

[amar212]

Marketing moves in misterious ways.

[mr_square]

Yeah, screw supporting the devs! FREE GAMES! <_<

[LiquidMetal14]

Wipeout isn't shareable is it?

Yes it is. This is an awesome deal for those who don't have the game though. If it works with addresses outside the region.

[TheSonicRetard]

Austrian, not Australian. What kind of deal is this? Bit odd.

oooh, thanks for the slip.

"Austria! Ha-HA! Well then...Gidday mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!"

[sprsk]

I registered

A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called... aspen.

I registered

I registered twice. Once in Australia, once in Austria

[LiquidMetal14]

I registered

What happened to your name?

And let us know if it works. I will pass the word around, this game needs more online users.

[glaurung]

If anything is worth your money on PSN, it's Wipeout HD.

...

And Flower. And Lumines. And NOBY NOBY BOY. And Bionic Commanod Rearmed. And PixelJunk Eden.

[Des0lar]

There are few comedies as timeless. Reminds me of simpler days.

[womfalcs3]

Done and done.

[Teetris]

Isn't that a nice surprise. One less reason to buy me a pre-paid card. Better hurry up Sony!

[Defuser]

just how awesome is my country? so awesome

Germany,Austria/Australia or Florida. Look it up.

Eine PlayStation®Network Registrierung die sich lohnt! Wien, 16. März 2009 – Jetzt lohnt sich die Registrierung der eigenen PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) ganz besonders! Vom 16. März bis 18. April 2009 wird jede Online Erst-Anmeldung in Österreich mit einem Gratis Download Voucher für das atemberaubende PS3-Highlight WipEout™ HD belohnt. Einfach mit PS3 online gehen, anmelden und ein Konto erstellen – an die bei der Registrierung angegebene Mailadresse wird dann nach Ende des Aktionszeitraums der Zugang zum Racingvergnügen verschickt. Rasanter Fahrspaß mit WipEout HD Mit WipEout HD können alle Geschwindigkeitsfanatiker in absoluter Lichtgeschwindigkeit über die heißesten Strecken der Galaxie brettern. Die berauschende und kristallklare High Definition Grafik, die 1080p Auflösung und eine Bildfrequenz von 60 Hz machen das Game zu einem echten Erlebnis. Damit nicht genug: WipEout HD bietet auch den Ohren eine extra Portion Adrenalin. Bekannte Künstler wie die Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin und die Stanton Warriors haben in der Vergangenheit ihre Tracks beigesteuert. Auch für WipEout HD wurden wieder die coolsten Titel ausgewählt. Der futuristische Elektro-Beat und die acht, mit großem Aufwand überarbeiteten Top-Strecken machen aus WipEout HD das wohl atemberaubendste Next-Gen Racing-Spiel für PS3.

Very strange.

[SappYoda]

I don't underestand what it says but...

Are you sure this isn't some kind of contest?

[Goldrusher]

I don't underestand what it says but... Are you sure this isn't some kind of contest?

No.

It says every new registration, from March 16 to April 18, will be rewarded with a free download voucher for WipEout HD.
You go online, sign up and access to the racing fun will be sent to the e-mail address you registered with, sometime after the promotion ends.

[gofreak]

Wtf? Why would they do that ?

Number fluffing in the great war is serious bizness.

Seriously though, that's a really nice offer.

[OnPoint]

Well... hell.

[Manp]

i bet in a couple of days there will be more austrian PSN accounts than the actual Austria population

:)

[TheSonicRetard]

i bet in a couple of days there will be more austrian PSN accounts than the actual Austria population :)

Australian membership should increase as well.

[Dirtyshubb]

Sounds good, i will have to make an account when i get home

[gregor7777]

Thank the lord for Google Translate

[Action Jackson]

Very strange.

Why? They did this before when you could get the PSone version for free when creating a new account.

[crispyben]

EDIT: nevermind

[Tntnnbltn]

Very strange.

It's called Australian English.

[RotBot]

It'd be nice if there was an official Sony statement linked.

[Second]

Why?

I already bought the game.

/bitter

[Meier]

I live in the US. How do I register an Australian PSN account?

Edit: So beaten. Still funny though.

[Mojo]

Can you get a code if you don't own a PS3 yet?

[Xater]

Marketing moves in misterious ways.

Meh stuff like this is not that uncommon. After the PS3 release everyone who registered got a free Casino Royale Blu-ray.

[Gryphter]

so when we get the codes emailed to us, do you think we have to put it in using the Austrian account? I'd rather redeem it using my US account and delete the Austrian one

[AndyD]

Thank the lord for Google Translate

True.

It will be funny all those people who create Australian accounts and will bitch next week.

[Xater]

so when we get the codes emailed to us, do you think we have to put it in using the Austrian account?

Of course you have to do it like that.

[-PXG-]

damn, I should have waited.

Me too... :(

[womfalcs3]

Can you get a code if you don't own a PS3 yet?

I signed up using the EU PlayStation website and the help of Google Translate.

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Just signed up.

I bet they don't send the codes out

[gregor7777]

I bet they don't send the codes out

Why?

[AndyD]

I would make sure to log into the account from the PS3 at least once and do something on the network. I would browse the store a bit and DL something. Just in case they look at that vs. PC activated accounts only.

[Goldrusher]

Why? They did this before when you could get the PSone version for free when creating a new account.

I did not know that.

But there's a difference between giving away a 14 year old PSone game, priced at €4,99 and a brand new, 6 month old game priced at €17,99.

[jett]

Oh man I wished every PS3 owner would take advantage of that. online racing in WOHD is dead.

[gregor7777]

online racing in WOHD is dead.

wtf? How can that be?
