About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

But you still get free items for doing that though, correct? Items that previously were paid for by those who had to buy a magazine. Or for you only get the items if you win the PS4?

Way I read it is if you are a O2 customer you can get the codes for free by using there Priority thing (not quite sure how that works)

This has all just got too much for me, I wanted the items when they first came out, was crushed when I was given US-codes, was let-down again when the UK item campaign was announced. All the different ways and means have just got me too tired to care anymore even though I still want the items it's got too complicated to work out how I'm supposed to go about it. The whole thing is just so "urgh".

Yes, you'll get all the codes for the items listed without buying a single product.

Thought so. Time to order/dig out the free O2 SIMs. >_>

SE Promitional team are all over the place with this.

There is no clear pathway or identity with these rambled together promotions - and no clear target audience that they seem to be targetting.

They are very clearly unprofessional by how this has all gone down.

Think they are using interms for these?

So much for a professional, global brand name. Pft.

Exactly.

I especially wonder who decided that something like maids/butlers, one of the most popular things in otaku/weeb culture, would be great for limited promotions.

Is it that much bother to just run the promotion through GAME stores and such? Okay 7/11 isn't video game related but at least it's a physical place you can go to to take part, as opposed to sending photos of yourself to a(n awful) magazine, or just happening to be with the right phone provider! (given my friends' experience with O2 I'm never getting involved with them, but hey :P). I don't care for these items personally, I'd never use them, but this campaign is so bizarre and - especially with this new method - isolating. I know someone will pipe up about how "we begged for them to give us this event too, we should be grateful" or something, yes that's wonderful but Japan didn't have to jump through these absurd hoops to get them. Just like...attach them to a minimum purchase at a game store...1 code per customer. Bam.

So I went to my local GameStop in Denmark to ask if they had the code, and lo and behold they had never even heard of it.

So now I'm a little confused, do they have a campaign deal with gamestop or not? Where am I supposed to go to buy these things (as much as I'm starting to not wanna throw my money into this, I'm still wondering what the hell is supposed to be going on lol)

Show them an image of their campaign page. See if you can speak with a manager. Ask them if they can check if corporate has sent anything out etc. The page on the lodestone says Denmark and that's so far the only campaign available in Denmark.

That's how 02 priority works, it offers vouchers, discounts, promo codes and specialist offers to 02 customers, it's not so much that SE is giving codes for free, but rather that 02 subsidises the cost.

The promo itself isn't unfair, however the lack of knowledge that this would exist (if you already did any of the other promos) is unfair. This is probably the most reasonable promo to date
