Despite being reported as video credit, you can use it to buy games. Only available for pre-existing accounts and only a limited amount of vouchers available.

Hmm, what's a good PSN-exclusive game for $5.99? Preferably not ROMs/ISOs, and preferably PSP games.

Edit : ended up buying Piyotama. Fun little puzzle game.

Same here, also waiting for mine. Guess Sony's really taking their time to send out the codes in 72 hours.

I didn't get mine yet and I'm sure I won't. I've read of people totally exploiting this by using numerous email addresses (changing it on their PSN account properties). I'm sure Sony is going to shut it down.

Got my credit. If I'd signed up any later I'm sure it'd never arrive. Seems like just another case of Sony screwing themselves out of money.

So is Gaia Seed any good? I see it there, looks interesting, not sure if I want to use my credit on it though...

No it's definitely not worth it IMO, you can ask others on that though. Also, nearly 72 hours passed and no credit on my card mail? What the hell?

Thanks to Ruldra. Got my code in the mail today.

I've got 17.40$ on my US account now and can't really think anything to buy. Too bad most bigger games that I'd want to get are 19.99$ so I'm just short. Any recommendations? I'll probably end up waiting for a discount.

PSOne classics: Vagrant Story, Front Mission 3
PSN: Wizardry, Pixeljunk Sidescroller

If nothing interests you, you can wait until January 19 when Under Defeat HD comes out. Most likely it'll cost $15.00.

Thanks Ruldra for the heads up, got the code today. Nothing really interesting on PSN at the moment, maybe I'll grab Wizardry.

GaiaSeed is totally worth it if you like Darius and the whole nineties era of Taito/Zuntata avant-garde. It's pitifully easy, but the developers were obviously more concerned with creating a compelling aesthetic experience and visual narrative, which they largely succeeded at.

Techno Soleil's next game, The Rapid Angel, is also available on the US PSN.

Blame Sony for that, the way they carried out this promo was bound to be exploited by users.

What's worse is that the whole thing was intended to promote the movie store. I'll be surprised if more than 5 people actually used the free credit to buy movies.

I thought Under Defeat HD was a JP only release. If it's getting a western release on PSN too I think I'll wait for that.

I did consider Wizardry but I have too many RPGs/JRPGs/SRPGs that I need to finish (Front Mission 3 included) so I'll wait at least until I run out of stuff to play or interest me. How did Wizardry turn out to be? I don't remember seeing the thread in off-topic after it was finally released.

Wizardry didn't get much talk around here but I've only heard good things about the game. If it wasn't for my huge backlog I would've bought it a long time ago.

Um, uhh. You've gotta be taking the piss.

Would recommend God Hand or Odin Sphere. Not HD, but easily worth the price.
