View Full Version : The Whole "win a ps3" thing
curlfro 03-13-2006, 03:57 PM i just want to check, this isn't like all those other promotions where they say there's no strings attactched, and to win you have to subscribe with a credit card or something like that. i just want to check so that when i say i've won (if i do), people will actually believe me, and not say it was a scam.
reticulator 03-13-2006, 04:39 PM Yah and if we actually do win will we just have to give our address and it'll be shipped to us or is it more complex?
PS3_Master 03-13-2006, 09:55 PM When a winner is drawn, they will be contacted by Email or PM. They will have to give their name and address so it can be shipped. No credit Cards, no stings attached. No catch. You post, you will, you get a PS3.
reticulator 03-14-2006, 07:39 AM yah, Thats how I thought it would happen. Thats the best way, definitely.
mac10 03-14-2006, 08:04 AM I like that, but do we have to pay for shipping?
PS3_Master 03-14-2006, 08:39 PM I like that, but do we have to pay for shipping?
Shipping is taken care of as well.

Ps3 master ur 2 good to us.:)
bchambers05 03-15-2006, 01:01 PM sounds great, thats a pretty generous offer thanks for doin this.
Not to soud rude but why are you doing this?
temporal_zulu 03-16-2006, 11:25 PM it'd be nice to win, 4 sure..but somethin tells me I should keep savin up anyway :)
only thing I've ever won was the great conception race..and I'm still tired from that
Justinian 03-26-2006, 10:16 AM thats kool sounds fair and easy, i like things with no catch becuz catches sook! lol
Justinian 03-26-2006, 10:24 AM lol i have 2 questions ps3 master
will u be shipping with fed-x or something like that ( a relable shipper)?
and will u still be drawing if the forum does not get any more members?
Philament 03-26-2006, 11:40 PM There is a question that's been bugging me since I've come to the forums. Will the PS3 be a gift from Sony or will you go out of your pocket and buy one?
b3rat3 03-27-2006, 12:13 AM Yeah I have the same questions as Helghast because I would hate to think you're paying from your own pocket. That'd be very generous of you but I feel like that's way too much for you to do, especially for us just posting..

Yeah, are you Mega rich or Mega Generous or Mega nuts or Mega Friends with Sony?
Justinian 03-27-2006, 07:18 AM I believe he said he was getting a ps3 from a shop or sometin, from a supplier that was goona give him 1 for free but not from sony. I think he said that in another forum to thats how i found about this 1
PS3_Master 03-29-2006, 06:10 PM lol i have 2 questions ps3 master
will u be shipping with fed-x or something like that ( a relable shipper)?
and will u still be drawing if the forum does not get any more members?
Hahaha I've been waiting for those questions.....
The PS3 will be shipped by Fedex, or Purolator, whichever is cheaper (since I'm paying that out of pocket). The PS3 is being donated at this point by a very generous sponsor who wishes not to have their name released at this point, but will have they name released when the PS3 is given away.
Philament 03-30-2006, 06:59 AM I'm assuming the second PS3 is a no go?
PS3_Master 03-30-2006, 07:45 AM Not yet. We havent heard back.
Justinian 03-30-2006, 02:58 PM Hahaha I've been waiting for those questions.....

Justinian 04-01-2006, 09:46 AM Regardless of the contest, I'm still going to preorder mine on Gamestop.

ps3master can't, cuz if he wins some people will think he just fixed the raffle.
PS3_Master 05-11-2006, 09:15 PM I wont be taking part in it, I'll buy my own :(
anyone who is still an active member at the time of the release is able to tin, so long as their account it active and they qualify to be entered
The draw will be held the day of the PS3's release,

Tsura 07-03-2006, 09:48 PM this is really cool of you by the way
so i also have a few questions.
1.) do we have to stay active up untill the release date
2.) how will you draw the winner random number generator draw from a hat?
SuperSaiyanSonic 07-08-2006, 05:55 AM I have a question.
On the description of winning a PS3, it said a minimum of 50 posts will give us 2 entries. But in the same paragraph, it says 50 posts is 5 entries. Which one is it?
Tsura 07-08-2006, 08:15 PM um well i think the two is a typo but from everyones post ill say 50 gives you five entries.
Marink 07-09-2006, 03:35 AM I thought it said the first 50 posts will give you only two entries, but after that it's 10 posts an entry.:confused:
UltimateGamer 07-16-2006, 01:28 PM im happy with it either way because there all fair no ones getting cheated out on this and when u guys know how many PS3's are going to be given away please let me know thanks
SuperSaiyanSonic 07-17-2006, 08:20 AM I think there's only one PS3 being given away right before launch.
Marink 07-17-2006, 08:55 AM Giving away more than one PS3 would be pretty expensive, don't you think.:p
SuperSaiyanSonic 07-17-2006, 10:30 AM Yeah, that's a lot coming from one person.
UltimateGamer 07-17-2006, 02:35 PM I know but at the main home page he stated that if they could get there hands on 2 or even 3 that thats what they would be giving away but yeah just for three ur already talkin if its the HD set $1800 which is a load of money
Tsura 07-17-2006, 07:50 PM well its a donation. if he can find another donator then he'll give away a second. but for the moment its only one ps3.
UltimateGamer 07-17-2006, 08:37 PM okay fine by me .... im sure u guys are all pissed ..............aw no im just kidding im still stoked about even .... even thinkn about winning this just oooooo man im lovin it lol
curlfro 08-16-2006, 06:05 PM Is the second PS3 a no go or what PS3_Master?
wca213 10-03-2006, 03:11 PM It would b kool if there was a second one to win like on the nintendo wii forum they given away 5 wii's already
slingshot317 10-03-2006, 03:33 PM It would b kool if there was a second one to win like on the nintendo wii forum they given away 5 wii's already
5 wiis equal like one ps3...so i can see how thats possible lol

Makes sence, the wii is alot cheaper than the PS3.
PlantPage55 10-29-2006, 08:11 PM I just think this contest is a great thing!
I think PS3_Master is doing a great job and cultivating a nice little community here!
I wish everyone luck, but me slightly more luck ;)
slacker65000 11-26-2006, 07:48 PM ok well i did some much reading and now i understand, well im glad this thread was here, but if i skipped some im lost cause i want to know, when is the realease date on the ps3, did it already pass??

Um yeah, it launched Nov. 17th in America. It doesn't come out till March for Europe however. And psplaya won the contest. Hope he's enjoying it. It's all good though cuz I finally got my 60gb PS3. So now I can sell my 20gb and be done with the craziness.

I'll take your 20GB if you don't want it. :D
yokofox33 11-27-2006, 06:51 PM I'll take your 20GB if you don't want it. :D
lol, I'm gonna need like 1000 for it to end up paying retail for the 60gb one. I feel bad for selling it an inflated price, but I need to recoup my money. I'm gonna sell it with Resistance and an extra controller. Sorry man...unless you wanna pay 1000, but I doubt it, haha. Believe me, I'd rather sell it to a friend or someone I know before ebay, but I just can't lose money like that.

i say thats a smart choice...theres theoretically nothing wrong with inflating the price...basic economic principle: increased demand= increased price
Ascend_01 11-28-2006, 05:22 PM i say thats a smart choice...theres theoretically nothing wrong with inflating the price...basic economic principle: increased demand= increased price
exactly, if they are willing to pay that price then so be it!
Kusanagi_Kyo 06-20-2007, 12:27 PM So when does this promotion, giveaway end?
Ascend_01 06-21-2007, 11:49 AM wow are you serious? wow im in wow......read before you post....wow...

curlfro 06-22-2007, 04:20 PM Yeah, since November 2006.
