(EU ONLY) sorry.

Just got mine, so I can attest that it's legit. But it's Facebook, so YMMV.

Woah, great selection. Awesomely nice by Sonty.

Infernal Monkey · (12-23-2012, 02:28 AM)

Wow, thanks for the heads up! Already own three of those, but just grabbed Canabalt. Works on Australian PSN. =)

GolazoDan · (12-23-2012, 02:30 AM)

Sweet, I don't have any PS Mini games. Thanks for the heads up!

Wazzim · (12-23-2012, 02:31 AM)

Time to use my fake account.

Newline · (12-23-2012, 02:38 AM)

awesome :D and i love the only me setting on facebook, no needless annoyance given to my friends.

DiscoJer · (12-23-2012, 02:38 AM)

Those are some of the better ones, too.

edit:

Apparently it's the BreakQuest bundle, so it's actually 5 Minis.

And thanks to both you and Sonty

Grab 'em up ready for your next Vita hack!

sakipon · (12-23-2012, 02:51 AM)

Nice, just downloaded them. I've heard some good thing of Velocity, hope the others are decent aswell. (I'm not usually into Minis so I don't follow them much.)

BTHR Zero X · (12-23-2012, 02:53 AM)

Yep. Too good to pass up Velocity, let's see if it lives up to the hype.

mikeBlack · (12-23-2012, 04:45 AM)

Used my wife's facebook account. Worked fine.

Why is US GAF getting all salty at Sonty?

I'm sure SCEA will come up with something similar soon.

I do have a EU PS account, but I am in Canada, anyone can confirm if this still works?

Katzii · (12-23-2012, 06:29 AM)

Came to see people complain about NA's offerings, did not leave disappointed. Will go about redeeming these in the morning.

Liamario · (12-23-2012, 06:29 AM)

Ah, Sonty..... You broke my heart.

Majine · (12-23-2012, 06:30 AM)

Not as good as Arlus (instead of Atlus), but very close.

Combichristoffersen · (12-23-2012, 07:05 AM)

Thank u based Sonty <3

fernoca · (12-23-2012, 07:09 AM)

Nice avatar..but...Is there an in-joke I'm missing?
There's Liu Kang Baking a Pie..and there's another user with an MK-related username like those too.

Sonty is a pretty cool guy, he gives us free games and doesn't afraid of anything.

shagg_187 · (12-23-2012, 07:22 AM)

SCEE wins again...

Fuck Sonty America.

ShockingAlberto · (12-23-2012, 07:23 AM)

Quality brands like Panaphonics and Sorny

shink · (12-23-2012, 07:37 AM)

Thank you Sonty. Never played Velocity but have heard good things about it.

Veins · (12-23-2012, 07:38 AM)

The codes it gave me for Wizorb and Breakquest appear to be invalid. The one I got for Canabalt worked though.

whitehawk · (12-23-2012, 07:39 AM)

Quote me to get a velocity code.

Katzii · (12-23-2012, 07:41 AM)

The second code didn't work for me (gave me an error message), but the others worked fine. Hopefully will hear back from Son(t)y on that one, but otherwise, I'm content.

robotnik · (12-23-2012, 07:45 AM)

Wow, thanks for the heads-up.

Syriel · (12-23-2012, 07:46 AM)

When it comes to digital goodies, SCEE wins again.

At least it's easier to switch accounts on PSP than on Vita. Velocity = so worth it.

Perhaps that's why Sony implemented the memory card account lock on Vita in that last update. If not, more NAers would be tempted by SCEE digital freebies. ;)

Johnny Cage In The Shower · (12-23-2012, 08:11 AM)

Posting From Canada here with a (faux) Euro PSN account, three out of the four codes worked like a charm, but for some reason, couldn't get the last one to work.

So I got Velocity, BREAKQUEST and Canabalt downloaded and installed on my XBM.

Good enough for me, thank you and Merry Christmas to Dambrosi and base Sonty.

:)

Sid · (12-23-2012, 08:13 AM)

Thx man

Johnny Cage In The Shower · (12-23-2012, 08:33 AM)

Haven't been downloading anything from PS Store for over a month now, as far as I remember once you install something you downloaded (the games in bubbles) the bubbles disappear, why are the bubbles (installation files) still around? Do I have to manually delete them now?

Please see Figure c. for more clarity

Figure c.

Figure c.

IIRC the 'bubbles' for minis, PS1 games and PS2 games now have to be manually deleted after installing due to one of the FW updates released earlier this year. Yes, it's stupid and no, I have no idea why Sony implemented it.

Because you can only transfer the install-files and not the installed games to Vita.
So f.e. if you want to have Velocity on PS3 and Vita you can install it on PS3 and still transfer it to Vita.
Before you had to make sure to transfer it first to Vita before installing it.

But yes, I think it's more annoying for the most people than the other way arround.

Sonty is what Sony will rebrand themselves as after they. . .

Sonty pls

Pretty nice though, but I don't have a Facebook account :(

RpgN · (12-23-2012, 09:38 AM)

This is very generous, I love when companies give stuff for free XD
