Found this over on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/
Courtesy of /u/ScruffTheJanitor

Appears in conjunction with the Australian release of the HTC Vive, there is a bundle available from HTC that can be redeemed on Steam.

5 Free games on offer,

Cloudlands Mini Golf ($19.99USD - Currently on sale for $13.99)
The Gallery - Episode 1: Call of the Starseed ($19.99 USD)
Zombie Training Simulator ($19.99 USD)
A-10 VR ($4.99 USD - Currently on sale for $3.49)
Jeeboman ($9.99 USD - Currently on sale for $6.99)

You will get 4 codes in your email, the First code will give you The Gallery and Zombie Training Simulator and will be called Vive Bundle 3 when you redeem it in Steam.
The rest will give you them singly.

You now need to provide proof of purchase (Scanned copy of your receipt or electronic version) attached when claiming.

For folks who do enter their serials numbers and get the message "Already Used" you will need to chat to HTC via http://www.vive.com/anz/support/contactus/
Courtesy of shanakatak and benkus83 who are going through the process.

There is some chat in the thread on Reddit of the legitimacy of the offer, but I received the codes instantly.
People are entering fake names and numbers and receiving codes.

Not sure how long the offer will last.

*Edit - People are putting in fake Serial numbers like 1 number off from their Serial number and receiving more codes.
This is possible done through HTC or a third party by the name of Accelerate Creative Strategies.
So I cant see the codes lasting long with that revelation. Sad really, but grats on everyone that can get some

*Edit 2 - This offer might be over, will keep an eye on it before marking it as expired.

*Edit 3 - As googolplex pointed out, this has been Redditted. Marking this as expired.

*Edit 4 - Waiting on this to go live again, hoping it'll be soon. Currently displaying 'We are currently making some changes to the Vive redemption site and will have it back up again soon. Apologies for any convenience.'

    • Ral on 26/11/2016 - 20:58

        FA64CJJ00XXX

        just mash in x to 3 digits and enjoy

        • Ral on 26/11/2016 - 21:02

          Legend mate ! Thanks!

        • shanakatak on 26/11/2016 - 22:28

          And if you use a genuine serial number and the owner can no longer do it is that okay?

      • ruddiger7 on 26/11/2016 - 21:01

        A typical one will look like this FA64GJJ12345

        Just change the last few digits around.

        Edit: Beat me to it!

        • Stealthzor on 26/11/2016 - 21:02

    Used the serial number from my Vive I got earlier this year and it worked, but I haven't got the codes yet (5 minutes so far).

    • iLoveYourFace on 26/11/2016 - 21:49

      Where do you find the serial number?

        Where do you find the serial number?

        On the headset and the box it came in.

  • kheob on 26/11/2016 - 21:29

    Do these games work on the Oculus Rift?

    • hybir on 26/11/2016 - 21:36

      It should work fine once you get Oculus Touch controllers since they go through SteamVR.

  • shanakatak on 26/11/2016 - 23:19
    +12

    Well this is disappointing, as an actual VIVE owner that got this pamphlet on Friday but was yet to redeem this offer to have this Reddited/OzBargained by people getting multiple codes or those that don't even have a vive is poor form for our community.

    • Stealthzor on 27/11/2016 - 00:00

      relax bro
      the codes had run out before i posted that serial and i didn't get any keys anyways
      they got reddited before it reached this forum

      • shanakatak on 27/11/2016 - 00:06
        +2

        It's still poor form to spread how to exploit an offer that people don't qualify for.

      Yep,
      genuine owner here..
      Missed out :(

    • kheob on 27/11/2016 - 13:09

      Completely agree, but HTC should have done a better job at verifying the serial numbers before sending out the code.

    • ruddiger7 on 27/11/2016 - 14:18

      Agreed, was expensive as to buy, and I have missed out on codes while people without vives and US vive owners have claimed the majority. Pretty weak.

    • ScruffTheJanitor on 27/11/2016 - 22:07

      oops

    Might be fixed for real owners soon…
    Site now says:

    Congratulations on purchasing your new HTC VIVE!
    We are currently updating the Vive redemption process and will have our site back up again soon. Apologies for any convenience.

    • Endless Winter on 27/11/2016 - 21:09

      Ahh neato!

      I'll remove the expiry tag once this goes live again and update the date.

      Not sure how they going to get around folks who have had their Serial codes already used.

      • shanakatak on 01/12/2016 - 15:14
        +1

        You now need to submit proof of purchase, my receipt has my serial code on it. So I assume it should be easy to send them an e-mail saying your code has been used.

  • ravenit on 27/11/2016 - 15:17

    Check your spam folder that's where my email with the codes were. Still took a good 5 hours to get it

    • Krondorf on 27/11/2016 - 16:40

      When did you fill out form?

    bring on the hassles !!

  • shanakatak on 01/12/2016 - 14:29

    Site is back up and running and now requires proof of purchase.

  • RickOnOzBargain on 01/12/2016 - 15:36

    Just tried my code… says "already used".
    Of course, I bought mine in April and got the first free pack of games,
    so perhaps thats why. But doesn't hurt to try!

  • benkus83 on 01/12/2016 - 16:19

    My lodgement says "Already Used" too, but I assume that's because I already tried lodging it on Saturday.
    I am in the process of dealing with HTC support through:
    http://www.vive.com/anz/support/contactus/
    They have assured me it will be sorted out within 1-2 days, and have provided me a ticket number.
    Do not bother contacting HTC via 1800 987 039, as this is ONLY for mobiles.

    • Shindo989 on 01/12/2016 - 17:23

      let me know how it goes, all i got was a "we cant do anything" line when i just tried their live chat

      • benkus83 on 01/12/2016 - 19:58

        I would try the chat line again, and hopefully get someone else more helpful.

  • legendarypoo on 02/12/2016 - 11:05

    I tried the HMD serial number and the one on the right side of the sticker (I assumed its the main SN of the whole system), but it comes back with 2 errors. One that the SN isn't valid, but secondly that the word I'm typing for the image isn't correct (and I have tried it 3 times now)

  • benkus83 on 02/12/2016 - 16:53

    My codes have just come through!!!

    Hope yours start coming through shortly

    • Krondorf on 11/12/2016 - 09:48

    They asked for "proof of purchase".
    I sent. (again)

        • Shindo989 on 04/12/2016 - 13:26

          thanks, I've just shot off an email. Hopefully this get results unlike talking to their "customer service" live chat.

  • Krondorf on 10/12/2016 - 18:41

    Chatting to Live Vive chat now.. will see how it goes..
    [quote]For the codes, I have checked the order number and your e-mail address on our data base for the codes, unfortunately, the codes is not available on our end. I would suggest you to contact our chat US support team so they can request the codes for you. For the HTC one day website, this offer is only available for customers who have purchased Vive via our partner retail store and Vive purchases online have different process from the retail store.

    So might be a fob off..
    Have to contact US dept.. so have sent an email through the US HTC Vive site..

      The HTC one day offer is only for vivess purchased in Australian retail stores.

      • Krondorf on 18/12/2016 - 17:15

        I did, they said i had to contact US support because I got the Vive through the Vive website..

      I was waiting about 2 or 3 weeks myself, but ended up using the chat link posted by AdrianW above last Friday night or Saturday morning. They re-requested all the details I'd filled out on the webpage including a .jpg of the invoice / receipt. They told me I'd receive an email in 2 days with the activation codes. It took 2 working days, (4 days) and I received them yesterday. There were 4 codes in the email. One code activated 2 titles / games, giving 5 all up. Hope this works for others. Now it's time to download. :)

      • Keef on 18/01/2017 - 22:11

        Cheers mate. I tried that at work but I didn't have my serial on me. I'll wait till the weekend.

  • whatthecrappin on 23/01/2017 - 11:13

    has this expired as the link still appears live? HN currently as 5 games free via redemption which I assume is this deal. JBHIFI doesnt mention it but I assume its not vendor specific?

    Also i read that theres 3 more games when registering with steam
    Job Simulator, Tilt Brush, and Fantastic Contraption

    is that still the case?
