While Sony has cooked up an inciting deal for early adopters of the PSPgo in Europe, offering a free copy of Gran Turismo PSP to those who register their system by October 10, the deal is much less appealing in North America. Which is surprising, as it’s usually the other way around.

Sony has teamed up with MTV to give North American PSPgo purchasers, for a limited time only, a downloadable voucher for Rock Band Unplugged Lite. This is essentially a demo of Rock Band Unplugged, but with added support for downloading DLC tracks. It’s obvious as to who was given the better deal here. Like we said, usually it’s Europe that receives the short end of the stick, so we find it hard to complain in this case. But seriously, how hard could it have been to make the GT promotion a universal one? Marketing decisions, sometimes they make no sense.
