That's about the price it's worth.

But good find, I wonder if they'll do this for more games.

Pretty neat game (can you actually call this a game?)... Played it for a bit while drunk last night. However, I couldn't imagine actually spending cash on this.

Some rumor is that it will get deleted from your download list, kinda weird and doubtful, but just to be sure don't delete it just yet

I can see it happening if the free price tag was a mistake... is there an official Sony press statement about the giveaway? If not, I agree that it's a good idea to keep it on your system just in case they try to correct their mistake.

There's a PSP version as well. Generally PSN games are only for one machine (due to the difference in technical specs), the exception being PS1 games and Minis. Here it just so happens that they made a version for each console but they're slightly different (and you have to buy it twice if you want both). I don't know if the PSP version is free in this offer as well. I wouldn't got to too much trouble to get it though because it's not very good.

Kind of... considering the majority of the Minis false-advertisedly don't work on PS3.

All new minis released play for sure on PS3, not really sure what old ones don't.

My guess too, since the DLC alone is about the bundle half price, maybe a dollar less

It was stated on the product information page that the customer needed to download the product before Feb 14th. Also, if you deleted your copy of flOw from your hard-drive you would have to pay to be able to download it again.

Sony was blocking foreing IPs during the course of the day (last Saturday) so it was not just a matter of having a NA account. Of course, using a proxy solved the problem.

I should mention that I have no data regarding regarding when the IP blocking started. So I don't know if it was something done during the course of the day or from the start. I do know that the IP block was in place though.

----

As far as the game goes, it's pretty entertaining. I must say that I wouldn't personally buy it though.
