"Casino Royale will be given away at launch to the first 20,000 people who register at the Playstation Network;"
Don't get IT?
Anon the first 20000 Australian residents that buy a PS3 and take it home then log onto the network and register will get a free Blu ray copy of Casino Royale.
Anyone know the official number of units on offer in Australia on day one?
There is a rumor it's 11,000.
You register to the Network they can then boast about how many people have signed up to go online.
I dont see how it can be classed as GIVING AWAY when you compare the Price of the actual Filmstation3 when compared to other countrys.
LMAO @ Filmstation3
