We got our PSP Go on the 2nd of October and straight away got onto the PSP Go rewards. Since I’m now in Europe this applies to us. (Sorry USA users don’t get the 3 free games). The first offer is if you get the PSP Go before the 10th (midnight) you get Grand Turismo free. So hurry there are only 5 days left for the GT offer. The second is if you upgrade from another UMD drive PSP you get 3 free games for a list of 18 to choose from. These are full games. Not demos.
Here’s the list of games to choice from:
- Killzone Liberation
- Medievil
- Wipeout Pure
- Buzz Brain Bender
- Buzz Master Quiz
- SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo
- Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
- Everybody’s Golf
- Resistance: Retribution
- Syphon Filter Dark Mirror
- Lemmings
- LocoRoco
- Patapon
- Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow
- Echochrome
- Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
- Daxter
Were going to download, Resistance: Retribution, Wipeout Pure and SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo. Ok so all you need to do is login first with your PSP Go to PSN download the special theme in PSP Go rewards. Make sure you register it.
Then disconnect your PSP Go. Boot up your PSP-1000, PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 and log-in PSN with the same account as used for the PSP Go. Then make sure you have a UMD game in the PSP UMD drive. Go to the PSP Go rewards in PSN and you should then see a prompt to sign up for the 3 free game offer. See the screen shoots below of this.
PSP GO rewards: Register your PSP with a UMD drive to get 3 free games.
Once you download the special PSP GT theme and activate it you will eventually get you code in your email inbox and you can download Grand Turismo for free. We got our code today, for GT and the 3 free games. So 4 games free with our PSP Go. Not bad right?
- It took 3 days for the redemption PSN PSP reward codes to arrive so you have to be patient its not instant!

October 5, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Log into PSN, download the special PSP go GT theme. Then activate it. The code comes in your email in about 3-4 days.
October 8, 2009 at 4:16 am
Yaa, I made 3 days ago, EUR acc and live in Canada, Im just w8ting for the moment.
October 8, 2009 at 3:07 pm
How do you activate
October 5, 2009 at 8:47 pm

October 5, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Maybe, its worth a shot!

I don’t think it will work.. you can’t switch accounts like you can on ps3 and once you log in with one PSN id you can’t switch to another.. Unless you stick with 1 EUR account you can only access EUR unless someone knows of a way to get around this.
October 6, 2009 at 1:27 am
i think ill just wait till the GO becomes iso ready. then ill get one
October 6, 2009 at 6:13 am
FOR ALL USERS IN THE USA TRYING TO GET THIS, HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT:
Step 1. Download Media Go from the PlayStation Website
Step 2. Create a PSN Account
Step 3. Make the country “Australia” and make the State “NSW”, the town “Sydney” and the postcode 2000
Step 4. Proceed setup as usual.
Step 5. Log onto Media Go as the Australian user
Step 6. Find and Download the GT Theme (usually on the front page)
Step 7. Download as usual
Step 8. Get the GT code!
(optional)
Step 9. Get a 1000, 2000 or 3000 and log on as the Australian User
Step 10. Download your 3 Promotional games as usual
NOTES Its recommended that if your 1000, 2000 or 3000 is hacked, enter the recovery menu on the PSP and change the region to Australia/New Zealand.

i tried this but the only umd game i have is medal of honor heroes so i cant register the umd or does it automatically work when i downloaded the 2 rewards option? and i couldnt find a psp go theme on the store did i do something wrong?
October 7, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Same thing happened to me. I got the 1st Reward Slot, download it, and then nothing happened. There is no theme to download. Am I missing something?
October 8, 2009 at 4:17 am
Only EUR acc can see “Recents” tabs, so make sure you got EUR, the psp go reward is easy to find.
October 6, 2009 at 9:48 am
Tried out the method mentioned above. Living in the US.
It says that I still need to wait a few days to get my code…. so we’ll see how it goes.
If it works… I plan to use the promotion code on my PS3 and download the games from there. Hopefully it works without a hitch.
October 6, 2009 at 11:20 am
Yes best to download the games via PC or PS3 as via the wifi of the PSP Go is slooooow almost 4 hours to download some 1.2GB games.
October 6, 2009 at 11:35 am
I don’t think the Wi-Fi is so bad for me. For example… It took 8 minutes to download the Resistance: Retribution Demo, which is 182MB, on my network.
October 6, 2009 at 11:56 am
Well the full game is 1500+ MB, would take hours on my PSP. But on my computer about 30minutes
October 6, 2009 at 6:49 pm
has anyone tried DOMIN8ER258’s method and succeeded?
October 6, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Im trying it too. it just says to wait until i get the email. so hopefully it works. it also sucks that you have to restore default settings so any games you own if you already created a first account on your pspgo cant play cuz its not on the account you downloaded them on.
unless theres someway around this i dont know…
October 6, 2009 at 8:09 pm
That’s part of the reason I am going to download and try installing the games through my PS3… to see if I can avoid this issue.
The first thing I’m gonna do though…. even though I doubt it’ll work…. is to try the redemption code on my default US account and see what happens.
October 6, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Yeah… i was trying to do the Medoth donin8tor posted, it seems it would work. but i have Credits on my PSPgo an a Canadian account already registered. when i go to download the theme it wants my account to change. tells me my old account will become invalid. im to scared to have my account Dropped with the $80 worth of Credits as well
i dont see a way to change account info safely either
October 8, 2009 at 4:20 am
No, you’ll not loose it, its just because your PSP gonna be active with a different acc, you’ll not be able to play the game you downloaded with CAN account, unless you register/activate it with your good one.
October 6, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Ok After doing some research, This will work. But if you have An American Account ( or in my Case Canadian ) Games bought will only work for Systems on that PSN account. So meaning if you switch back to your US/CA account GT will no longer work.
Also PSN Cards that add credits only work on the nation its bought in (says so on the card) UK prices are higher then Canadian prices too.
so clearly this could work and be very cool , but could lead to complications later
October 7, 2009 at 3:10 am
i see. so far ive only bought one game for my go, (final fantasy VII) and its only ten bucks here in canada so if i do end up getting GT and 3 games then im fine with buying FF7 again since its fairly inexpensive.
butyes it will suck if youve already pumped a good amount of cash into your go already…
October 7, 2009 at 3:28 am
I’m just wondering how easy it would be to switch back and forward between accounts to play the games for them…. I already have quite a few games on my US account…. like 10 cheap games… but close to $100 worth…
I really just wanna play Resistance: Retribution. I already own the other games on the list that I want to play on my PSP Go…. such as Ratchet and Clank.
October 7, 2009 at 3:43 am
well the only way i know is to keep restoring default settings then go on the psn store through your go and activate it like that. but it would probably be a big hassle.
October 7, 2009 at 3:52 am
and i think you would have to reinstal your games as well.
October 7, 2009 at 5:24 am
That’s what I want to know… if I have to re-install my games… I guess it wouldn’t be too big of a deal, so long as my saved game data stays intact. I keep all my games backed up on my PS3.
October 7, 2009 at 5:22 am
You can actually hit Triangle on teh account management icon and say “delete account”.
October 7, 2009 at 5:14 am
wel im curios to see if this method works. the only way i figure this wont work for GT is if the voucher is directly tied into the false account
October 7, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Lol, why hasn’t anyone figured out yet that if you are in the US you can still connect to the Europe PSN server?!
Let me explain for US, etc. users. You will need to do a few things.
1. When you buy your psp go and it asked for time zone, go to London GMT.
( If you already chose america est gmt do not worry. Just go to the time/date settings and change it.)
2.Make an email address.
3.Sign up with PSN location Europe. *You can still use English language* using the email that you created.
Enter fake address whatever blah blah blah.
4.After it’s created go to the PSN store, and whaalaa. You are using Europe’s PSN. *This also works for other countries*
Now if you have any questions like, “I did what you said but i get an error when i try to download!” then here is your answer.
*Go to date and time settings, date and time, set via internet. (Make sure you have a europe time zone gmt. first so it matches up with their time zone not yours). It should work after doing this step, but if you already used a PSN account on your PSPgo before reading this then you will need to go to your account settings in your original PSN account, scroll down to system activation, deactivate game and deactivate video (if it doesn’t let you do video don’t worry, it’s still ok.) Try it going to the PSN store again and you should get in and be able to download european games.* REMEMBER IF YOU ARE SWITCHING FROM PLAYING EUROPEAN TO AMERICAN GAMES YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE YOUR PSN ACCOUNTS AND DEACTIVATE THEM BEFORE PLAYING EURO GAMES. ONLY YOUR EURO ACCOUNT CAN PLAY EURO GAMES, ONLY AMERICAN ACCOUNTS CAN PLAY US GAMES.
October 7, 2009 at 10:47 pm
yeah… we knew that/….
We are just waiting to get our codes to download the free games and find out the specifics of how it’ll work out. Switching back and forth between US and Euro accounts… for instance. How easy it is…. etc.
BTW, it deactivates your other games if you download off the euro store… at least that’s what it did for me.
It came up with a prompt telling me that games attached to the other account wouldn’t work anymore if I decided to download off the euro store. IT then proceeded to download without any problems. I’ve never heard of the “Time Zone” setting making any difference…. but if it helps, it helps.
October 7, 2009 at 4:17 pm
is it best to keep the firmware they same as it is when the psp go was bought or upgrade get the free games and wait for the hack. i just want to use it and not have to wait. I don’t mind waiting if it could be regretted later though. can anyone help?
October 7, 2009 at 4:43 pm
for the one who wants to register their psp 1000/2000/3000 you need to upgrade your psp to 6.10 if you want to register your psp. So if you don’t do this and stay on cfw you can only download the psp go rewards but if you upgrade to 6.10 you can register your psp
October 7, 2009 at 10:50 pm
I can also confirm this.
You won’t be able to register your UMD PSP unless you update to the latest firmware.
So if you have a late 2000/3000… something that can’t be flashed back to custom firmware with a pondora battery… it’s probably not worth it. At least not until they hack the PSP GO.
October 8, 2009 at 4:25 am
They can easily go back with a pandora toolkit. Beware if you have a 3000, not possible to get back.
October 7, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I hope someone can reply to me. I live in the USA and I downloaded the GT theme on my PSP GO on my UK account. So what do I do now just wait for them to send me the email?
Cause I dont know how to “activate” the theme.
October 7, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Just wait for the code in your e-mail.
i haven’t seen anyone confirm that it goes through for people living in the US… yet…
but it takes a few days for you to get the code in your e-mail, regardless.
Only thing to do is wait now.
October 7, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Viper if you downloaded the theme they will send you the promo code in about 5 days. Assuming you provided a valid email that you used to sign up for your PSN account.
October 7, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Thanks you two. Yea I provided a real email. I downloaded the theme on monday so lets see what happens.
October 8, 2009 at 1:28 am
Hey all. I got my code in about 4 days so it will come, although the terms and condition does state that it could go up to 30 days. happy gaming
October 8, 2009 at 1:33 am
great news
thanks for the heads up.
October 8, 2009 at 2:17 am
no luck for me as a US pspgo user. i have no games that starts with UCES or ULES product code. hopefully i can still get the GT code voucher.
….4. To be able to participate in this promotion, persons who meet the criteria specified in Section 1 above (“eligible persons”) must:
(i) own a PSP™go that was purchased within a Participating Country;
(ii) own either a PSP™-1000, a PSP™-2000 or a PSP™-3000; and
(iii) own a disc based game for the PSP™ that has a product code beginning “UCES” or “ULES”.

October 8, 2009 at 9:13 am
Borrow a PSP from someone else…
October 8, 2009 at 9:12 am
If you make a second account, could you do the trick again?
October 8, 2009 at 11:59 am
not really…. since you have to register the system itself…
you can’t register the same system twice.
October 8, 2009 at 4:10 pm
i like it’s,so… when full hack for psp go?
October 8, 2009 at 6:10 pm
for US psp users. unless you have a UMD game with UCES or ULES product code, registration for the rewards will not work. non US-PSP games has a product code that begins with UCES-xxxx and ULES-xxxx.
October 9, 2009 at 12:34 am
ok its thursday night now. and i did this on monday night still not GT code..I guess it didnt work.

I can tell you if it worked four weeks from now at the latest xD

October 12, 2009 at 12:47 pm
got my gt code just now, hm lets wait for the 3 other free games, hope it works
October 12, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I am not sure about everyone else, but I tried to look around a few message boards, and it seems that you need your PSPx000 to be on the last firmware (6.10) to get the reward program working. What I did is create a pandora battery and MMS, update my old psp to 6.10, do the reward thing, then used the pandora battery to reverse back to CFW. Still haven’t received any code, but that may be because of my US psp go (that I used with my european account).
I hope I answered your question…
October 12, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Hey Grumpy !
So I was wondering if it’s because my PSP is american maybe…
Just out of curiosity, do you have a psp go from the US or an european one ?
I, like many others around here, registered my US psp go with my european account, but I haven’t got any email yet
October 12, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I have a european one, if you havent received any code yet, just wait, it can take up to 30 days
October 13, 2009 at 2:07 am
i heard that its only possible with official firmware 6.10 to get the 3 free games, hmmm…
October 13, 2009 at 9:44 am
see i tool my old psp in to my shop to part exchange for a psp go. i still got the games as they wernt worth alot. They have all these deals saying to trade your old psp in but then you cant get the reward points. grrr any help ? any one contacted sony with this problem ?
October 15, 2009 at 10:00 pm
k, can confirm now that it only works with official firmware 6.10
doesnt work with cfw
October 15, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I used a European UMD, European Account, all with firmware 6.10 PSP 1000 and my PSPgo bought from US to register; however, I still haven’t gotten any codes for for 2 weeks! What about you guys?
Love my Pandora Battery where I can switch firmware around.
October 16, 2009 at 12:04 pm
did you get any confirmation that it worked like on the screenshots in this news? if yes, you should get the codes sometime in the next 2 weeks, if you dont, email the sony support.
October 21, 2009 at 1:31 am
I have a US psp go and a US psp 1000. I created a UK acc did the procedure for psp go rewards but when i get to the part where i have to click on reward slot 1 for the umd it says something about the umd(it didnt work) (i forgot what it said) so im thinking of getting a uk umd from ebay…do u think it will work …..i think it would but i need some opinions.
**i tried it with like 4 different umds(US)
October 23, 2009 at 3:48 pm
BOOOOO old games what a great deal… If MH was up there that would be almost worth it.
October 24, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I got my psp go last week.. but unfortunately i don’t have any single games to play. Im a new user of psp.. i dont have an old one to avail that free games! i really feel sad
November 5, 2009 at 11:00 pm
sooo it seems us owners cant get it, cuz its out of date correct? and i applied the theme, is there one called the GT psp go theme
November 6, 2009 at 10:49 pm
On the real…can anyone do this for me…just bought my son a Go and cant seem to get this whole process over and done with…if needed i will give my PSN ID and password…
plz and thank you
November 7, 2009 at 8:55 am
umm…. its probably a little dangerous to give out details like that. But anyhow, make sure you are using an older PSP 1k/2k/3k instead of the Go to register (obviously since Go doesnt have a UMD drive). Problem will arise if you traded in your old PSP for the Go, so find another friend that still has the old PSP. Log into the PSN and follow the instructions on the video. Also, make sure the UMD code you are registering has either an UCES or ULES, otherwise it won’t work. I believe American UMDs don’t have the UCES or ULES…. so you need to find a UMD from another region (Europe, UK, Australia)that has that code for it to work. To check if you have that code, look at the spine of the game box and it should be there. Good luck.
November 7, 2009 at 2:38 pm
you have a valid point
November 7, 2009 at 12:08 am
ok dont call me an idiot for saying this but how do u register an old umd drive or whatever cuz i have my crash of the titans from when i had a psp 2000 and i want it on my pspgo how would i do this??
November 7, 2009 at 8:45 am
sorry N1gHtWaRi0r, you can’t swap a game from your PSP-2000 to the Go. Instead you get 3 different new games instead. You have to log into the PSN using our psp-2000 with the UMD inside it and quote the UCELS (or something like that ) and then hopefully receive the redemption code and then use your PSPGo to access the PSN and download it.
**Note: not all regions have their UMB box with a UCELS code. It should be on the spine of the case.
November 7, 2009 at 8:49 am
My mistake, UCES or ULES.
November 9, 2009 at 5:33 am
Can someone please explain this to me. i dont really get what im doing. i really want these free games, but i dont know what to do. plz help
November 9, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Please make sure you have the following:
- PSPGo (Firmware 6.1 & PSN registered account **make sure it isn’t a US account or it won’t work**)
- PSP 1000/2000/3000
- PSP UMD disc (Code UCES or ULES, others won’t work)
- Wifi Internet
Once you have all that, either :
- watch the video at the top,
- refer to PSN Rewards Scheme, or
- read previous comments
