Go to Samsungs galaxy tab page (http://www.samsung.com/uk/galaxytab/) and click on the link on the right that says Entertainment Package worth £200.
Fill in your details and imei code (the email is localised to usa i think, the @ button is a ", be careful of this!!) and submit, then check your email.
You get the following for free:
50 mp3s
7 HD gameloft games
15 movies
5 ebooks
Do it before the end of Feb.
Quality!
how do I find my IMEI and does it matter if there's no SIM in the Tab?
cheers for this
go to the phone app and dial *#06#
Shouldn't matter if theres a sim in or not
Nice find for those who have brought the device since 03/12/2010 or looking to buy.
I can't register my IMEI and think it's because I purchased my device prior to the 3rd.
Oh well got quite excited about that.

Mine worked fine, but I had to drop the /01 that was at the end of my IMEI from *#06#.
Had mine since early Nov.

it only says the offer is valid from that date, doesn't matter when you got the Tab
I've tried the my IMEI (16 digits) with some different combinations i.e with / and 01 at the end, but keep getting IMEI not recognised.
Any tips help would be appreciated.
yep, mine fails too? May drop samsung a mail to check my validity.
Those of you that have validated it, did you get it with a data plan/contract?
The IMEI is on the back of the TAB (v small digits at bottom), this number has lots of forward slashes in it - did you include those?
Thanks.
forgot to post the link http://www.samsung.com/uk/galaxytab/
easier if you use the phone combination to get the imei.
also i bought mine sim free unlocked and it worked fine
I have tried with slashes and without.
No luck either way.
Mine was puchased from Curry's sim free.
Registered ok (UK purchased a week ago). Got an email with some codes to redeem things. Not actually tried redeeming anything yet but seems like quite a generous gift from Samsung. Cheers!
Are the gameloft games chooseable? I ask as i had my galaxy tab replaced but still have the imei for it. If they're chooseable that's 15 games from gameloft games;-)

Thanks to the OP, i bought my Tab 2nd hand from Cex about 3 weeks ago and it all went through. CEX do make me laugh though, they sold it as Voda locked and it only had the voda boot screen came completely unlocked! Saved myself £75!
Use the stock browser for downloading games, Dolphin HD had none of it.

Hi there. Had a look at the Samsung hub and when it eventually loaded I clicked the Exclusives tab and discovered I could get voucher codes for 7 digital and Samsung Movies to the tune of £120. I'm in the UK so don't know if it'll work elsewhere.
Just thought I'd pad it on!
Is that through Samsung Apps?
I don't see exclusives anywhere, where do I find them?

Samsung Hub...
The Samsung Hub is an app that comes with the phone, just like the Social Hub, Readers Hub, etc. Samsung Apps is different.
If you run the Samsung Hub its got cool recommendations for your Note - its how I found Zen Brush, for example.
You have to go to a specific 7Digital subsite (Samsung.7digital.com I think it was, but its in the Samsung Hub details.) For movies, just download Samsung Movies from the app store!

Got my note last night and loving it, now trying to get these vouchers. Have went into samsung hub and got the exclusive bit, asked for my imei number, selected get and then select but the only thing that comming up is some take that app, anyone any idea why not getting the voucher to come up? (am in the uk and gnote came from o2 uk as contract upgrade)
It's a personal choice I guess but this is interesting!

Incidentally, bought my note on launch day and got £250 of vouchers (£100 Movies £75 Music and £75 Ebooks)...
7digital is a bit annoying as I can only download single tracks as opposed to full albums (means you 'pay' more for a full album).
Samsung movies doesn't have (for my taste) a very good range of films.
But Kobo is excellent and I now have enough books to last me a long time..

Has anyone had any luck with this. My Note came today, logged onto Samsung Hub, left IMEI and just have a Take That offer.
I seem to remember something similar happening with Samsung and the original Galaxy Tab. You had to register the device and wait 24 hrs.
Hoping this works for me but anyone actually got these without registering?

according to the terms & conditions though:

I ordered it by phone as it wasn't available in-store, bummer. Pity CPW didn't mention that, but they don't seem to have any at the stores right now, only seem to be able to order online or by phone. Or perhaps the offer is only open to SIM-free purchases, mine was an upgrade.

I found a website that had links to download the new psn store app and ps pocket for 2.3.4 which i installed couple days ago the north America r800a on my at&t r800at phone. On the website it showed screenshots of the psn network store open on the phone and showed a bunch of ps1 games to purchased and download but at the bottom of each game it said sony entertainment of europe.
Well when i went to log in the psn network store on the phone it ask me 3 qustions at first country, language, and birthday.
Well i put in usa, english, and my birthday and i sign in to my account which i had for long time when i had my ps3 years ago.
Well there is no ps 1 games like i saw in the screenshots on the website, i see is blank, Im assuming maybe cause europe region gets all these games not the usa that i logged in.
Anyone know how i can fix this issue? thanks
Can u please pm me the website

I ordered the Nexus 7 and activated it today. When looking in the account I activated it on I see no mention of the $25 Play store gift card or the free movie and other stuff that should be included according to the product page. I looked at some other threads about this and they all said "it should be there" and I don't see it! I looked in Google Wallet and in my Purchase History in the Play Store and saw nothing! What am I missing? Or am I just a Bad Luck Brian that just doesn't get the gift card?
Thanks.
You don't get the freebies until you physically have the device in your hands and activate it.

Same here. I received the email within seconds of activating the device. You sure you actually don't have it? Check your balance at the play store and see. The email may have gone to your spam box. Just a thought.
The other thing is - did you get yours from the play store or a 3rd party? The cynic in me wonders whether someone purchased it, returned it, and Google play sees that device as already having received the freebies.

I bought mine from staples and I unboxed it, signed into google, saw the credit email in my gmail inbox, then unlocked and rooted and wiped the hell out of it and flashed a custom rom and kernel.
I thought maybe I wasn't going to get the other freebies because I searched google play store and they weren't free. But it was user error, I just had to install the specific apps for google magazines and google movies and books.

It'll send the credit and extras to the first account you set up. I have two, my old one one for apps, and a newer one one for my gmail and music. I set up my email/music first when I got the N7 and it gave the credit to that.
Also, pretend like you're going to buy something and when it goes to the choosing payment section look in the drop down for the $25 credit.

I tried this and the gift card did not appear on the drop down. Nor can I find my freebies anywhere besides in the email mention from Google. I would like to mention I had changed my email address a few days prior to ordering Nexus 7 and all of the order emails including the one mentioning the gift card arrived in the old inbox.
Just tried changing the email back and looking in Google Play but still can't find the goodies or the giftcard so I changed back the email.
You have a really good reason to call customer support.
They will probably enjoy a call from someone they can help, and is not yelling at them.
Should be easily fixable.
He said to do a factory restore. Ugh, I just got this thing all set up!
Now that all my data is gone and lost, I got the email saying I got the giftcard!

Unless they fixed it you can get the $25 on multiple accounts from 1 device. I got two other people $25 dollar credits just from letting them sign in on my device so someone else getting the freebies isn't possible. Neither is getting multiple credits on one account even if you sign on two different devices. Also you have to have a credit card tied to your Google account to get the $25 credit

Factory Data Reset worked for me also
I am glad I found this post. I was getting aggravated that I could not get my credit.
The Factory Data Reset worked for me also. Once I activated it the credit was there automatically.
Now to reload all my apps, music, and books again.
But it was worth.
You guys should have just made a backup with the Nexus Toolkit. :/

I got my nexus 7 as a gift. When I activated it I didn't get the credit or the other stuff. I did the factory reset (several times actually) but to no avail. When I go to buy an app, there is an 'add card for $25' option which does nothing when I add cards. I tried deleting all my cards, doing a factory reset and none of that made a difference either. I tried calling customer support a couple days ago and he had to escalate since he didn't know how to fix it. I'm still waiting to hear back.

The Samsung app store stinks but the music store is a bit better so I spent it there.

An Industrial Rock Tribute to Judas Priest
All winners!
Note that I did have to search for a while to find them. I noticed that the Samsung Store search index is really messed up, and I had to try a couple of different techniques to even find this stuff. For most of these, I had to go to the artist page and look at all of the albums listed on their artist page. Searching for the album title, or going directly to a list of albums by the artists did not work (ie. these titles were not displayed at all).
If you didn't get your email with codes.
I didn't get my email at first. Later that day I found it in my GMail.
I used my Roadrunner email to register, and that's where I was expecting the reply.
However; the GMail account was the one identified with my Samsung account, so that's where they sent the email.

Registration question
I got 2 of these for family members, and have a question on how this credit is received. I'd like to attach one person to one tablet and another person to the other. It's my understanding that I'm eligible for 2 of these credits - one for each device... BUT, I'd then like to also attach a shared GMail account to each device and use the Google Play credit on the shared account.
Google says you can attach up to 3 devices to an account, and I know Android allows multiple accounts without an issue. What I don't know is how this Samsung credit sends you the $$. Do I need to register both with Samsung under the same GMail account? (Would Samsung even allow me to do so?) Or do they e-mail you the codes after the fact and let you take that code to another account?
I asked Samsung support, and they said it just wasn't possible - but that answer doesn't appear to coincide with their published Terms & Conditions, so I don't really believe it. I'm hoping someone that's been through the process can guide me to an answer I'd like to hear.
Got a prime membership trial so decided to take up Amazon's offer for the Fire TV @ £49.00 so now just need to wait for it to arrive which is a while to go.
Has anyone else pulled the trigger and brought one of these from the UK store yet?
At £49 it was rude not to Can't wait to get it plumbed in, currently using a WDTV or PS3 for my netflixing and Amazon prime.
Hopefully it will work with usa content with unotelly and or a usa Amazon account will be a bit disappointed if it's uk content or nothing

There's some talk of a new currently unrootable firmware version 51.1.2.0
I wonder if the UK ones have this version already installed....
I will post this in here as-well
I decided to send them an email regarding the "region change" of the existing USA Fire TV's,
I asked for my message to be forwarded onto the relevant team involved with the Fire TV for a more appropriate response,
Take of this what you will but they have told me that it will be possible, First you will need to migrate your account, Any purchases made will also transfer, Then once the device has launched in your country, in this case the UK you then need to look out for a firmware update.
They say they will put it up on their help pages.
So that's good news, Sad that it will be a firmware update but not unexpected, Guess I will wait till the time comes and consider my options. At this stage I could not give up my root

So it looks like then if we have a USA or UK amazon account then it will follow that which is cool as I have 2 accounts on amazon for each country in question.
Saw spotify on the UK amazon page but not on the USA one though??

You have 2 options, you can purchase Plex with your UK Amazon account (I used the voice search to find it) or if you want the latest version of Plex you can download it and side load it onto the Fire TV. The benefit of purchasing the app through Amazon is that you can then access Plex from the top Amazon menu's - if it is side loaded you have go delving into a few sub menus to get to it.
I first side loaded the app, but have since purchased the app.

Thats a shame. Oh well.
Im definitely looking at one for me old man though, just for XBMC.
Hoping they get iPlayer integrated for it by release, and of course a rootable FW then Ill jump aboard as well. Cracking piece of kit the more I look at it.
I bought one of these to use xbmc on but now that i see spmc is on the amazon app store i will try that first.From what i've read it is an xbmc fork so addons will work and it can be updated through the amazon store.
