Like PlayStation Access, Grab a Couple of Free Games

Nice way to end the day

by Sammy Barker Wed 2nd May 2012

Sony is giving away a couple of free PlayStation Minis to anyone that “likes” the publisher’s PlayStation Access page on Facebook. Up for grabs are Jewel Keepers: Easter Island and Urbanix.

Sure it’s a marketing ploy, but who cares? Free games.

While you're there, you should Like Push Square, too.

I "liked" it but when I tried entering the code all I got was this message: "The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid". I double-checked it so I did put it in correctly and I tried multiple times but unfortunately no dice.

@WolfRamHeart The codes might be region locked. Are you in the US?

@get2sammyb: yes, wolfram's in the US. sucks for NA if the codes are EU-only, i suppose.

@get2sammyb: Oh okay, that would explain why it isn't working for me. Yes as theblackdragon said, I am located in the US. This is unfortunate but I totally understand. Still a cool offer for those that are eligible. Thanks though.

Oh, is this a UK deal? Maybe the article should have mentioned that? 'Cause I had the same problem as WolfRamHeart.

US gamers: you should still be able to grab these games. All you need to do is create a European PSN account. Obviously because the accounts are free, you can just set it up and then use it when you want to redeem codes like this.

There's full instructions here:

Hope that helps!

@MadchesterManc The code should have appeared immediately after pressing the "Like" button.

Would that work also for the Sly Cooper discount this week? Missing that was a bigger deal for me...although I'm not sure I understand how the credit card info would convert from dollars.

Just clicked on the Facebook page and it does say on top "For UK/EU Only". Or maybe it was EU/UK. Whatever.
Going to go try my code now on my long established London account, which I set up for my son London years ago. Seemed appropriate, and since I was going to the trouble of setting up another account for him anyway I figured "why not". My other son has a Hong Kong account and my wife a Tokyo account for no particular reasons. They all live in Marriott hotels

The code did work and the games did play (in the US) after DL from the UK account.
Don't bother settign up an account for these though. The Match 3 game is broken on the 2nd level. I've been playing match 3 games for the last 10 years and that isn't how they work. I even read the manual. And urbanix - the cut up the big square into little squares game - shouldn't have such a limited field of vision, it's guesswork. The game is about racing your enemy, not guessing. Most people will spend more time setting up an account and redeeming the code and DL the games than actually playing them. The Velocity and Cloud god minis are practically full retail PS3 games compared to these 2. Free is free I know, just don't think these are worth the time and effort for my US brethren.
