The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Not sure if this has been covered , but this is pretty new I think...
Looks like sales are not as good as hoped ?
Good news for the consumer !

That means you could be playing games like Halo, Rallisport Challenge, Project Gotham Racing, Amped, Oddworld or Dead or Alive 3 amongst other great games for free! We are looking to extend the list of games on offer so if you can wait then we'd recommend you check back on this site on April 26th for the full list of games.

Just download this application form http://download.playmore.com/application/uk.doc, complete the required details (address, name, games I want, etc.) and email it to [email protected] .

It's been covered in FoG Chat.
Makes me laugh, though.
"As a big "THANK YOU" to everyone who bought an Xbox before 26th April we are offering, until 1st July 2002, the chance for you to get 2 games and an Xbox Controller for FREE!"
What they really mean is, "Oh, s**t! We've had to drop the price unexpectedly because we're not shifting units. But the people who bought at launch will be majorly p!ssed off, so we'll have to bribe them."

Yep - think you are right.
This has been going round the mail at work and someone made the point -
"Bet Sony are annoyed they did not think of this".
Struggled to understand his logic with that one...
It's not Sony that have trouble shifting units. :-)
Anyway - this is not a 'console war' topic so I'll leave it at that.
I posted this more as an information to those who would like to get an xbox , may help them justify/afford it.
You and I have the other problem - getting it past 'er indoors. :-)

Well, I already have an Xbox - so I'm glad MS are doing something by way of compensation.
However, we all know that they're only doing it because the machine has only been out a month, and their existing customers would be mightily hacked off.
Had it been a year on, as with the PS2, they wouldn't be offering anything. Basically they've been forced into lowering the price, and are paying off potentially dissatisfied customers.

Xbox for £200! I still don't want one :-D
Microsoft will probably be doing a 'But one Get one free' deal soon if sales still don't improve. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I'm struggling to find two more that I want at the moment!
So, is Sony going to drop the ps2's price in response?

lol makes sense seeing as the only game worth buying on it would seem to be halo, *sigh* whats the use of giving away 2 free games and a controller if there are'nt even two decent games on the market for it lol.
