So, Sony are doing what they did in the US and giving those who get their PSP on launch a Spider-man 2 movie. Problem is, I won't be able to pick mine up until later on.
Does anyone have an idea of how this system will work/did work in the US? Maybe there's some way to get around it?
The last thing I want is for someone else to pick up my PSP for me, I want to be the first to take it out of the box and smell that new plastic smell...

The UMD came inside the PSP Box - in a little sleeve with a cardboard insert - I imagine the same will be done over here.
If the store puts aside a box for you, you have nothing to worry about, but if they give someone else yours since you won't be able to collect yours on Launch day, you may miss out.
I seriously doubt they'd give someone else a unit they've already reserved for you though.
Where did you preorder from?

Can't you make the person who picks it up promise not to open it? I might have missed something and have no idea how the Spider thing works... sorry.
Dixons say:
"**Free Spiderman 2 The Movie UMD
This offer is available by redemption from Sony. You will need to register your PSP direct with Sony. Registration details will be sent with your PSP. "

Hmm, they're doing it differently to the US then - we got ours bundled into the PSP Box.
Surely claiming your free UMD is more important than preserving the 'new' smell? :P
Just ask someone trustworthy to pick it up and send the card off on your behalf

General rule of thumb:
Ignore anything Dixons says.

In fact, you may not have anything to worry about - if Sony are allocating free UMD's based on serial number, you'll have all the time in the world to send in your redemption form.

I normally do, but it was quicker than downloading the psp official press release from yourpsp.com and pasting that.
the press release says 'early adopters' which is still pretty undecipherable as to how it will work. I only hope it is by Serial Number...

You never know - there may only be a limited number of actual redemption cards circulated, so the one in your box will guarantee you to one.
Where the US put UMDs in the first Million boxes, Sony UK/Europe might put the redemption card in the first million boxes too, so whatever happens, there will always be a Spidey 2 UMD waiting for you.
Tried emailing Sony, or visiting their forums?

Might email them. Sounds a plan. Now I just need to find their Customer Service email address...
