Being a dedicated PS2 fan and pre-ordering GT3 back when SR firsted started selling PS2 games(Last September). After 10 months of having GT2000(Now Known as GT3) on pre-order I finally got it. Then got a letter saying that I could get £10 back from the purchase price of GT3. Great I thought GT3 for £24.99. So I sent the letter back with my reciept that of course said GT2000(Gran Turismo) which had the date of order e.t.c.

Well looks like Sony doesnt think that having the reciept for GT2000 is vaild, even though I had pre-ordered it well before release date. They sent me a letter saying that the reciept they recieved wasnt for GT3 and they want me to send the proper reciept. You would think that Sony would know that the game had changed its name. They could have even checked with SR as the code was the same.

So I dont know whether to ring up and tell them this or just to leave it. Maybe I could try to blag a free game out of it as well.

I can't recall the exact address, but I *think* the address takes your receipt to a mailing agency, hired to deal with the amount of mail that they'll get.

As has already been mentioned, it's likely that the people at this agency are ignorant of the fact that GT3 was originally called GT2000.

Call Sony on 08705 998877 and explain things - they should sort you out in no time.
