Schick has just launched a new cross-promotional advertising campaign with Sony, offering up special GT5-themed content if you purchase one of their specially-marked razors. Inside the package, you’ll find a 10-digit code, which you can enter here to receive a free GT5 dynamic theme for your PlayStation 3, a GT5 racing suit for your PlayStation Home avatar, or a PlayStation Network movie rental.
They’re also holding a no-purchase-necessary sweepstakes, which reveals a new set of GT-branded ASTRO A30 Cross-Gaming headphones. Enter the contest and get all the details here.
See more articles on GT5 Marketing.
those headphone are awesome. i wouldnt ever wear them, i would put them on my dresser and never shut up about them.
How do you know which razor has 10-digit code in it?
Is there something written on the package?
I’m going to purchase one of schick razors to get GT5 theme but I don’t want to end up with no code.
You should look for one that has the GT5 logo on it, those are the specially marked ones.
Have to say I’m kinda peeved. None of the PSHOME racing suit codes work. I have a code, enter it on the schick site and gives me a redeem code, none of the codes are being accepted. They’re not used up either cause the schick site would say if they’re good or not.
hay do you still have anymore of the gt avatar code that dont work ? if so can you shoot me a couple if it works? thx.
This theme also comes with signature edition here in Australia.
….but, but… what if you dont use razors?
I think i’ll wait for a GT5 theme to be available in the PS store. No need to buy razors i wont use to get a theme with a Schick logo stamped in the corner. I like my beard thank you very much :D
You could start shaving your pubes.
Just hope that GT5 is released soon, otherwise those razors could endup the cause of a few self-harmers.
:s
Any pics of this theme anywhere?
It’s on the thumbnail above. One screenshot has the Time Attack Evo. The other is some futuristic car.
@NASCARFAN160 The other car is a NSX…
@MrDave079 The other car is an ASL Garaiya GT300…
@Alex Naylor Yep, you’re right! I got confused!
@MrDave & @Alex Naylor My first guess would’ve been a futuristic version of the Takata NSX. O-o
It’s nice knowing a GT5 dymanic theme is going to be available for purchase (I’m assuming). I’ve wanted one but they didn’t really have anything good up. Now I can get a GT5 one! Hopefully it’s good and not generic looking like the wipeout one.
Humm, I’ve one question, I’ve heard that a GT5 Dynamic Theme will be available with the Collectors Edition… Is that true?
Im kinda confused about the suit…Is it a suit your driver will wear in game??
Yeah, that is what it sounds like to me? So we will end up seeing everyone running around ingame GT5 wearing that Schick suit! haha
its a suit for your avatar in playstation HOME, the game, its not for GT5
I ran out of razors a while ago, and even though I use Gillette, the want for a dynamic theme is huge so, time to shave!
Is there another way to get the dynamic theme??
I think Collectors Edition will come with an Official Dynamic Theme… But I’m not sure…
I have quite a long beard, so no razors for me. Nice promotion though.
I’d say 99% of GT’s fan base is male so this cross-promo works. Hell, I could use a razor…
Alright I had just about enough promotion, how about promoting a solid release date?
I am in the UK so can i apply for this?
I ran out of razors couple days ago, so I shall pick this up :D
No point of me, my pre-ordered CE already has a dynamic theme feature anyway. :)
Do all CE’s have a dynamic theme feature? I pre-ordered one, and I’m not sure if I should buy a razor for no reason.
But does it have a racing suit for yor PSN home Avatar? I bet not ;)
Saw this last week while shopping and picked one up as a razor was already on my list.
Redeeming now.
So it’s not exactly free, is it?
No, but if you buy the code, you get a free razor. Pretty sweet deal.
Random 10 digit alphanumeric codes generating… this will take some time…
Well im going to be checking the Wilkinson Sword website pretty frequently from now on!
Cant see it happening though :(
Does Schick not make their own blades? Or is Schick the American name brand for Wilkinson?
Nice. It’s about time I had a shave.
How much are the razors?
Man, punching random code in to get the theme will take some time!!!!!
edit that post to this:
Choose your exclusive PlayStation®Network download using the 10-digit code found inside every Limited Edition Schick® razor packages. Must be legal U.S. resident 13 years of age or older with a PlayStation®Network account.
Now I actually have a reason to buy a schick razor, well along with the fact that my other razor is pretty much done XD
Same here XD
Must grow a beard…
That is flippin sweet!! But what are the chances of winning that awesome headset..
I’ve been eyeing that headset for a minute straight now! I’m gonna go switch to Shick for a month now! Sorry Gillete, it’s only a month.
Is this worldwide or just US? would like the theme if it’s available in Oz
from the website:
1. ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia (excluding residents of Puerto Rico and all other U.S. territories and possessions), who are 18 years of age or older at the time of participation.
Ah cool thanks I’m in the middle of nowhere on my iPhone and the page was taking forever to load. Thanks for the clarification
