[wraggster]

UPDATE: Sony's James Gallagher has tweeted (https://twitter.com/PlayStationEU/statuses/170181494902501376) to say new Vita pre-order discount emails will be sent out tomorrow afternoon."For those having problems with your PS Vita pre-order email, you will receive a new email tomorrow afternoon," he said. "Sorry for any inconvenience."ORIGINAL STORY: Sony is working to fix a website issue that is preventing those who have pre-ordered PS Vita from redeeming a code that grants a £5 discount on a download title at launch.Eurogamer was contacted by a reader earlier today about the issue, which seems to be affecting a number of gamers (http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS-Vita-General-Discussion/Can-t-redeem-my-voucher-code/m-p/15093037?WT.mc_id=TSO_EN_103) who have pre-ordered the inbound handheld.Those who pre-ordered Vita were required to register at a special website (https://secure.eu.playstation.com/preorder/). This website did work - dishing out a code to unlock PS Home content and other goodies offered in exchange for a promise to buy the console.The idea was that the £5 discount code would be sent out at a later date. Games included in the offer are Little Deviants, Super Stardust Delta, Hustle Kings and Escape Plan.This week the emails were sent (http://screencast.com/t/bt4nAA3NL), but unfortunately the link provided in them directs users to a site that requires you enter the voucher code a second time. And this website is reporting error codes when users try to do just that.Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's James Gallagher said this afternoon (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/02/16/inside-ps-vita-play-create-share/) that Sony's engineers have identified the problem, and promised that new emails will be sent with another link that will take you to the discount selection page.
