      Does that mean you've only got until tomorrow to "spend" the $30, or do you just have to register the codes by then?

  •  
    Postulative on 11/12/2011 - 12:07

    For some reason the site refers me to their NZ version when I try 450-BANDIT or 455-BANDIT, but the NZ site doesn't accept these codes. Suggests to me that these two codes may go live on their NZ site at some point.

    Good deal here, thanks:).

  •  
    Crownanchor on 11/12/2011 - 12:10

    These codes look the same as last years.

    Also note that the expiry of the credit once redeemed is only valid for a short time, till the end of the day.

    •  
      sparkles on 11/12/2011 - 12:21

      Yes, snooze and you'll lose on these deals. From past experience the credit will expire very quickly. I'd make purchases today even if you don't make the download today.

        Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!!

        Had to Paypal an extra 50c, though. Damn they are expensive. The same albums on iTunes were only $22.98 vs $30.50 for Bandit.FM.

        Also noticed that it's almost a year to the day when they had their last coupon give-away.

        It does put you on the spot a bit, having to come up with $30 worth of music you want on the day.

        Sharing your sentiments exactly. Very disappointing from Sony. Crappy speeds (100-200kB/s), incomplete downloads.

        No wonder alternate sources (read: iTunes) are so much more popular.

    melmac77 on 11/12/2011 - 13:30

    From previous experience all you have to do is spend the credit you can go back in a few days when the OzB's have left and download it then :) I got the Slash album and Papa Vs Pretty had to kick in a few dollars but didn't mind. I haven't been on bandit for a long while, prices seem to have gone up since I used them last. They also have removed the on sale section that used to be within each channel :(

    Terrible speeds (Sub 100 KB/s + downloads failing) can't really complain though since it is free. Hopefully you will be able to download your purchases after the deal expires.

      Btw, does anyone get what all the channels are about? U2 is under "sixstring", Coldplay is "thebollocks", The Fray is "feeler"….. the only artist i've looked up that I can understand being in a particular channel is Owl City with "synthmode"..
