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.

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?

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.

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?

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?

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

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.

ps3master can't, cuz if he wins some people will think he just fixed the raffle.

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,

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.

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.

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
