After beating its own sales target by a month with 1 million Galaxy Tabs shipped worldwide, Samsung is hoping to turn up the heat a notch or two on the competition – namely Apple’s iPad – with a festive promotion in the UK.

For anybody currently sitting on the tablet fence, the lure of £200 worth of digital content in exchange for registering your details and unique IMEI number online this Christmas may prove irresistible. Or so the plan goes.

Entertaining deal

Samsung’s free Entertainment Package is open to residents of the UK aged 18 and over who purchase the 7-inch device between December 8th 2010 and 28th February 2011.

And just what kind of digital goodies can a Galaxy Tab customer look forward to installing gratis on its shiny new gadget?

Redemption songs

Well, the Entertainment Package includes vouchers for 50 MP3 downloads from eMusic.com (worth £21), 15 recently released films from Samsung Movies (worth £165), and either seven games from Gameloft (worth £21) OR five eBooks from WHSmith (worth £25).

Given one month to redeem the coupons from the Korean manufacturer, there is even time to carefully consider your purchases, rather than rush straight for the Justin Bieber section.
