Sony Computer Entertainment Australia has announced a new promotion in the region targeting new PlayStation 3 customers.
Commencing on October 23, the company will be giving away a free copy of LittleBigPlanet to all consumers who purchase a new console following the game’s release. Although a closing date has yet to be announced, the promotion is expected to run throughout the holiday season.
The PSP is also getting a sweet deal down under, with a Lego Batman bundle available for AU 339.95; meanwhile, the new PSP-3000 systems will release at AU 319.95 on October 23, as previously reported.
Both deals are an attempt on Sony’s part to acquire a bigger share of the Australian gaming market. There are an estimated 385,000 PS3’s in Australia, 75,000 of which were given away in a recent promotion with the Bravia televisions. Only time will tell if these sales will help Sony reach their goal of half a million units.
As always, stay tuned for the latest sales figures and promotion news as we get them.
