I always kind of assumed these sweepstakes things were fake, neither my wife nor myself have ever win anything other than say a free drink or a shitty coupon. But I won. I’m so stoked! Brand new PS4 with a game and controller! The thing is butt ugly, but who cares? It’s free! Even better since I’ve been trying to convince the wife to let me get one anyways.

I literally said to my dad yesterday, “there’s no point in entering, because the odds are probably zero.” Brb, going to send my code.

And it plays bluray DVDs, if you didn’t have that capability already. Love my PS3.

Some unknown enigmatic force dictates that had you entered before me I would have lost. So, thank you for that!

Seriously though, it only takes a second, what can it hurt? I’ve never gotten spam or anything after entering one of their contests.

Yeah when I saw this contest I thought you’d have to be a Purdue fan or gold-AK-wielding dictator to like this color scheme. Congrats on the win — maybe you can get a premium for the “limited edition” factor and buy a regular PS4 with cash left over.

I already have a PS3, which I also love, so blu-rays are covered. I plan on keeping it, due to the lack of backwards compatibility.

Sam > AMGtech - now with more recalls!
10/12/2015 at 15:52

To be honest, I’m just too lazy to bother. I usually just eat the food and throw the box away.

That’s not a bad idea! Definitely going to look into it.

OMG. Need to convince the wife to watch those movies now.

Thanks for the recommend, I’ll look into it!

Fair enough. I used to do the same thing. But never again!

Nice. Short of the new Uncharted or a GT7, PS4s don’t really appeal to me, but I’m still a little jealous.

Watch them on the PS4!!!!

Lucky! I want a gold PS4, because I had my gold controller for my N64.

I bet you could turn this PS4 around for $$$ and a normal PS4

Or give it to an Oppo - gave away my Gran Turismo games and the Logitech wheel I had. We just didn’t use them anymore, so I wanted someone who would use them to have them. Threw in the GT-R toy I got with one of the games, but sadly a mirror was broken in transit.

Your boy, BJR > AMGtech - now with more recalls!

If you don't like the gold, I'll trade you my all black one.

Not a bad idea. I could always use a little more good karma in my life.

Already did. Quesaritos are freaking addicting. And Baja blast. I swear they put cocaine in their "food".

Jaguar7117 said the same thing. Planning on looking into it.

Fair enough. I’m a die hard PS person though. But that didn’t mean I’m not super jealous of Forza. GT just isn’t what it used to be.

Lol. Maybe. I’ll definitely consider it if you gold dip your caddy wheels to match.

So you don’t even get free Taco Bell? Rip off...

Sell it back on eBay without opening it really... I did so for a 25th anniversary ps4 and sold it for 2500$. If this one really is a unique PS4, it could reach much, MUCH higher numbers.

EDIT, not unique but still, I’d send it to eBay right away if I were you lol

Congrats. Hopefully you actually get it. I know a few years ago they were sued for not giving out the consoles to winners

Justino6969 > AMGtech - now with more recalls!

Question for you. When did you submit your code? My dad and I have a theory going. The rules state that the drawing starts at 11:59pm on some day and a winner is chosen every 10 minutes. So did you text in/enter your code at XX:X9?

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > Flavien Vidal
10/12/2015 at 18:48

Holy hell that’s a lot of money for a PS4. I’m definitely going to look into this.

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > Funktheduck
10/12/2015 at 18:49

Wow. Well I saved screenshots of all the confirmation messages and codes and sent them to my wife so wet have multiple copies. That should keep me pretty safe. I hope.

10/12/2015 at 18:53

7:10am today exactly. It was the box from the night before. I’d entered a few times already and those were all between 7-10pm. I feel like you have a better chance during the hours when fewer people are eating taco bell, or when they’re not even open because most people probably enter their codes shortly after getting their food.

Justino6969 > AMGtech - now with more recalls!
10/12/2015 at 19:02

Alright, so maybe my dad and I are on to something, every 10 minutes on the hour. Maybe the drawing starts at 11:59:59, so wait a second and you’re at 10 minute intervals on the hour. Cool, thanks!

Nah man keep it! Let it be a sign that there is a chance in the world to win big, now go play the mega millions.

I want 5% if you win that!

Not a bad idea! How about 5% of what’s left after I pay off all of my family’s debt and buy a house?
