Good day to you all, hope you’ve all had a good week.
Today, as most of you blog readers will know, is the day that we unleash the ModNation Racers Beta for you, and for the first 100,000 people who download it when the store updates (should be mid-afternoon), I can assure you, you’ll be having a LOT of fun. I will update on here, and via my twitter feed, as soon as the store is live.
We also have a fresh batch of special offers available for you, with a selection that should cater for all tastes. Personally, I think Smash Cars is great value, and that reduction on Unbound Saga is also very tempting is it not? Okay, enough tactless sales attempts I promise.
We also have some new dynamic themes for Heavy Rain, Buzz! and Singstar, and another mini title, Vector TD, is added to the minis family. This is all wrapped up with a few more bits and pieces, full details below.
Finally, this week, in another attempt to shamelessly please you all with freebies, I have a couple of handfuls of dynamically themed codes (very subtle hint on what they’re for I know) to give away. However, rather than ask you to pander to me for them, let’s try this instead; those who want to try and get a code from me reply below completing the following sentence “I don’t deserve one of your codes because…” I’ll give codes away today and tomorrow, to those replies I deem the best.
I look forward to reading your comments

I don’t deserve one of your codes because I just farted next to my girlfriend…apparently girls don’t appreciate flatulence as much as I do…

I don’t deserve your free codes because they are not going to contribute any form of aid to those in Haiti. Which is sad, because I wish it did but maybe I could build a track in tribute to those we have lost and celebrate cos this is just the start.

“I don’t deserve one of your codes because…”
I have owned a ps3 for two years now and only this month have I discovered that there is an official blog and community. I have to be thankful to MAG though because I was looking for people’s views on the beta and that is how I have now ended up on these pages

Is the Heavy Rain theme the same as the one that comes in the collectors edition?
474
Posted on 21 January, 2010 at 2:16 pm by CloudStorm87
I’m downloading the beta right now from the UK Store. Here is a tip for you kids, if it hasn’t shown up on the store front page yet, just search for the word ‘modnation’ and you should find it. Get it before everyone else!

Mike, can you confirm that the Heavy Rain theme is the same as the one in the SE version? Or at least try to find out for us?

Wow this filled up fast!
I was talking about Vandal Hearts – Flames of Judgment, sorry I never made that clear. Do you have a rough estimate for a release date to at least quell my SRPG desires?
I was checking out some reviews and videos on it. Tis a shame it’s not appearing yet. Still, I do have a backlog of games to chow down so it’s not all bad!

I don’t deserve a code because i will be downloading Modnation racers, and i will make a character that oozes with evilness, and he will go down in the history books, the tale of how his road rage was so great that he even made blog moderators cry, when he forced them of the road while screaming like a dreaded Xbox live (pirate) kid! And! his name will be fluffy mac butterscotch!

I don’t deserve one of your codes because…Wait can’t think of a reason because of realising that the Modnation Racers BETA is up
. (Runs to PS3)
494
Posted on 21 January, 2010 at 2:20 pm by TheNarrator
eek, Modnation has tickled my fancy (!) so ill try grab one of those if i can, (guessing they will get snapped up sharpish!). otherwise sorta tempted by Cuboid, but still a bit to pricey for my taste.
thank goodness im not grabbing much off the Store this week, Dragon Age is massive enough without more distractions xD
495
Posted on 21 January, 2010 at 2:21 pm by Xavier51287
I don’t deserve one of your codes because it may help me get out of this depression I’m in and then I wouldn’t need to play as many games as I do.
I also don’t deserve one of your codes because this is my first time posting on here, but no-one needs to know that.
496

I don’t deserve one of your codes because I do deserve one of your codes. If I don’t deserve one of your codes, is it because I do deserve one of your codes? Or I just don’t deserve one of your codes? I think I do deserve one of your codes because if I really don’t deserve one of your codes because I said I do deserve one of your codes, I’ll think I need to apologize and say that I don’t deserve one of your codes because I said I do deserve one of your codes…..
….. Oke I’m sorry I said I do deserve one of your codes because I don’t deserve one of your codes. It’s just that If I don’t deserve one of your codes, how could you see that I do deserve one of your codes? Can’t I just say that I don’t do deserve one of your codes? Or I’m I then telling you that I don’t deserve one of your codes because I do deserve one of your codes……
hmm….. Don’t I do?
