It's not often that we get something for free in the consumer electronics world, but PNY has just announced an extended partnership with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment that will provide users with a free movie download for every new purchase of specially marked PNY products.

The promotion is available to PNY's customers in selected countries, users receiving one bonus full-length movie download from Sony Pictures, valued at approximately $10 when buying PNY HDMI cables, 8GB and higher SDHC flash memory cards and USB flash drives, DDR memory kits, and consumer graphics cards.

Users will then be provided with a unique promotion code that enables them to choose from 35 Sony movies, the video platform being now compatible even with the Windows Phone 7 devices enabling users to watch movies on their smartphone while on the road.

Furthermore, the movie can be downloaded to a computer hard drive, USB flash drive, memory card, Sony allowing the movie to be watched from two different locations such as a smartphone and home PC for an unlimited number of times.

“Given the overwhelming positive response we received from the initial promotion with Sony Pictures, we realize that our consumers appreciate the instant gratification of this promotion,” said Tony Gomez, vice president of sales and marketing at PNY.

“Due to this success, we’ve opted to expand and refine the promotion onto our higher capacity products and include additional product categories to broaden the reach and benefit to consumers’ lifestyle needs.

And now that the movie download is compatible with Windows Phone 7 devices, we’re able to reach an even wider audience, for a truly mobile experience,” concluded the company's rep.

According to the company, PNY’s Bonus Movie Download promotion is available through all the major retailers, including BestBuy, Wal-Mart, and Staples as well as through regional retailers and online shopping websites.
