Why not? Not my fault Sony are stupid enough to give away PSN store credit for mere newsletter signups. They reap what they sow.

BTW, it was six accounts. Still more than enough. I'll see in a couple days if they bear fruit.
nice enough, not stupid enough.

Anything special about the PSN version of Chrono Trigger? Is it the best version? Is the Wii one better?

If the Wii version is the SNES one then the PSN version has the anime cutscenes.

Nice enough to offer the codes, stupid enough to do it in a manner that could easily be abused. They could have at the very least put an IP check on there and limited it to one voucher activation per PS3.

Wii version is better for sure, the cutscenes in the PS1 version aren't worth the loading times it adds all over the place. If you really want to see the cutscenes they are all on youtube anyway.

which checkbox? Both my US acc and EU acc display the very same?

I get 2 check boxes with my US account and only 1 with my EU account.

Also I signed with both at the same time and only got 1 code.

Okay, just picked up Silent Hill. Been meaning to play this one for a while.

Got 2 checkboxes with my 3 accounts.
I don't know what happened with your page :/
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Got my code. I'll save it for Sonic CD (and FFV).

Using non US accounts works but there's a checkbox missing when you sign up and you don't get the code.
Whuh? I always got two boxes with my accounts. You don't need to check the second box, btw.

I haven't redeemed any codes yet so if you guys don't get any I'll share some.

Making me feel bad and stuff :(
 
I decided to use it to rent Captain America from Sony's store last night, only to find out that instead of streaming rentals like EVERY OTHER COMPANY does these days, Sony makes you download these huge fucking 5 gig files from their slow ass PSN store servers. Pretty sure it barely finished d/l'ing this morning.

That does suck, but free is free. Think I'll rent Thor. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Thanks OP.

I really don't understand why they do this. I'd have little problem using their services but they are so ass backwards. It's so inconvenient.

When it's actually easier to use a competitor's service ON YOUR OWN DAMN HARDWARE there is a big problem.

You can stream video while you download, but I'm unsure how ...

When did you guys sign up and when did you get your codes?

I signed up around noon yesterday, 24 hours down, so 48 hours to go

Nothing so far
 
Thanks for the heads up or else I would have never known about it. Got PixelJunk Sidescroller with the two codes I got. Pretty awsome game. I usualky get PJ games at launch but money was really short when it launched and I kinda forgot about it. But now I've got it and I'm gonna have some fun :)

It gives you the option right above "Download in the background", but if you do, it immediately starts your 24 hour rental period and considering how shitty and slow the server was going (it hit 10% at about the 2 hour mark) I wasn't going to take that chance.

It took less than 24 hours to get mine. Maybe they ran out of codes but the promotion is supposed to last for a while so they might be able to generate some more or something.

They are limited so maybe they did run out or the service is taking a hit and maybe the emails are sent out in waves?

This has been spread on major sites like SD. SD tends to kill these promos so I don't really know if they are out or just taking some time to send all the emails.
 
Is there a way to do this and redeem the voucher without connecting my PS3 to PSN (CFW)? Would be nice if I could somehow add the money to my PSN wallet and use it on Vita.
 
Just signed up. The notice I got was that it may take up to 72 hours to get my code.

Can we go right back and disable e-mails after we sign up for this? Or should we wait until getting the code to turn them off?

Just to be on the safe side I'm waiting until I redeem my code.
