Sony offers free UMD, sends advert

Okay, tag this under off-topic; it really isn’t big news but it’s a bit entertaining. If you were watching a news program, this segment would be in with the human interest clips right before the weather report.

Anyway, a user named Kevin over at the ZogDog.com forums says that that he signed up for a promotion on Sony‘s PlayStation site. He was supposed to get a free UMD demo of Gangs of London. The whole thing was free so he had no worries. Well, time passed and was yet to receive anything relating to the game. Until one day, he got this cardboard cutout of a PSP with a Gangs of London ad on it.

He says that the sides also open up where it says “pull” and features more ad material for the game. He’s still waiting for the free UMD. He does add though that even if he’s waiting for the free UMD he’s entitled to, he’s not really eager about Gangs of London since the reviews for the game has sort of curbed the game’s appeal.

If he really wanted a copy of the game for free, he could try looking for torrents of it or something. But we here at QJ suggest you don’t do that. Sony doesn’t like that. If you feel confident that you have more resources than Lik-Sang, sure why not, but we still suggest you be cautious lawful.

We guess in this case, there was either a mistake during shipment, or the delivery dude had itchy fingers. Anyway, now that Sony has his mailing info, we wonder if he’ll be receiving more advertisements in the near future?
