- 15 prizes
- Canadian accounts ineligible
- bid amounts in triple figures

This contest is pretty terrible in my eyes.
Good luck to those who do qualify, though!

 

[Vlodril]

could have mentioned its only na.. got exited for a moment. although i probably wouldnt have enough to get anything anyway.

I like the idea though.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I only have 16 gold trophies, which is bad. But I have a life outside gaming, which is good! But the frogurt is also cursed...can I go now?

 

[Zee-Row]

I think there would be better odds if they let people bid with platinums instead.

 

[whitehawk]

noooooooooo
I have 69 gold trophies too

We are sorry but, you are not eligible to participate based on your location. Bidding is only available to users in North American territories (USA, Canada, Mexico).

I'm getting this message too, but I'm in Canada!

 

[Jonboy]

Over 6%! That's pretty damn good.

Thanks. I've always focused on getting platinums. Tried not to have just a crazy number of bronze.

 

[Parapraxis]

Ahh I have 44gold, but i'm just a lowly Canuck

 

[Alec]

This is rad as hell.

 

[LTWood12]

They're selling the props from the commercial?

How desperate do you have to be to suck money out of people lol.

Lol, less desperate than someone shitting on something before they've even taken five seconds to learn about it.

 

[.la1n]

Great idea, unfortunately my gold count is too far on the low side to actually win anything. Hope they continue to run with this idea in the future. Put some real incentive to the trophies.


Edit: obviously in the future it would need to be higher item stocks but make it low cost items. It's be fun even if all your getting is a poster/sticker/whatever.

How exactly are they sucking money from people?

EDIT: Oh, dur a Junior.

Same, looks like Canadians are being locked out despite the error message.

I'll just be taking my 45 gold trophies and.... continue to do nothing with them!

Fail, why even bother if you won't read.

 

[Noi]

Sure, I'll give it a shot.

Mine too! I can't win shit with my trophy count lol

 

[LTWood12]

Aabs Animals!

 

[SilentFlyer]

Only 29 Gold here.

Not a chance, can't even dream of bidding. I think we might get a chance after 3 to 4 props when most players have already bid their gold trophies, may be.

EDIT: I am not in US, so nvm. lol.

 

[whitehawk]

Sure, I'll give it a shot.

Damn, you'll probably get something.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Can we bid bronze trophies? Cause I have a lot of those XD

One of Nathan Drake's sweaty socks from Day 7 of filming!

 

[nampad]

Can Sony do no wrong at this point?

Only eligible in North America...

 

[Duxxy3]

haha that's awesome

 

[blindrocket]

1,353 Trophies
51 Gold

 

[steveovig]

I just checked psnprofiles.com for my gold count and apparently I have 110. Now, I feel like I've been wasting my life the last few years!

 

[darkwing]

need.....more.....trophies

Aab Animals!!!

 

[Chamber]

What can I get for 22 trophies?

 

[USC-fan]

That is very cool idea! It would be awesome if they kept doing this.

I only got 15 Gold. Might have to start trying to get some gold.

 

[Zee-Row]

I would probably have more If i stopped reading this forum and actually played Video Games!

 

[Ocaso]

I'd be interested to know GAFer's respective percentage of gold trophies to total trophies ratio. I'm at just under 3%. 2,479 trophies, 69 gold.

84 gold out of 1761 trophies, so about 1.1%. I kind of thought I might be able to snag something, but this is clearly for far more devoted gamers than I. Still, a cool idea overall.

 

[Evolved1]

Envy?

 

[Lord Error]

I'm getting this message too, but I'm in Canada!

Same. Not that I have a chance of winning anything. They really should have made it possible to bid on smaller things from that ad too. Sure, they would have to ship all that, but it's from advertising budget after all.

 

[Binabik15]

Graverobber is probably excited as hell

"Witchdoctor or Helghast Sniper? Why not both?"

Serves me right for spreading my gaming out between a German, US and UK account. Hardly any trophies in each.

 

[SolidC213]

What can I get for 22 trophies?

Nothing cuz I have 23. Ha!

 

[GraveRobberX]

Yeah most winners will be Trophy Hackers or the guys at the top who are team based and earn trophies at an outstanding rate

Oh wells

I know I won't get anything, not worth it, when even dedicated as I am, there's almost 370+ people ahead of me in trophies... so yeah, this is wasn't thought out properly

Be smart to use Gold Trophies as a raffle, 1 Gold = 1 Raffle Ticket

So it levels the playing field

Oh wells, I'll go back to earning Trophies, no biggie

Yeah 644 Golds aren't going to get me shit

 

[Live Free or Die]

could have mentioned its only na.. got exited for a moment. although i probably wouldnt have enough to get anything anyway.

I like the idea though.

They didn't need to mention it was for US only because the blog post is on the US PS Blog.

 

[Dead Prince]

i can't do shit with 16 gold lol. i want the delsin outfit.

 

[baekshi]

This sucks, the fuck is wrong with sony not banning people who hacked their PS3 and cheated to get trophies.

 

[LTWood12]

Pride of Long Island? Is that you?

 

[libregkd]

I have just about ~300 Gold and I'm hoping a bunch of people blow their trophies the first few days so the later items will be more reasonable.

I'm curious about how much higher the concept art images would be in comparison to actual props though.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

This is a pretty awesome promotion. Only got 27 Golds... Graverobber going to clean house lol.

It would be awesome to have that Clicker Mask!

 

[RoboPlato]

Awesome idea but I don't have enough golds for anything.

 

[vazel]

This is neat. But it's funny to think that trophy cheaters are going to make out like bandits on this.

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

I can't believe trophy hunters are being justified of their sick OCD. Sony is an enabler!

 

[PaulLFC]

North America only? Boooooo

 

[GraveRobberX]

Also INCOMING wave of Trophy Sales Onslaught for these games

Terminator Salvation
Under Siege
History Patton Wars PS3 + Vita
Any Game with at least 8+ Gold is going to get bought and ASAP, LOL

Very smart of Sony LOL

 

[Evolved1]

Can they tell who the cheaters are?

[Binabik15]

This sucks, the fuck is wrong with sony not banning people who hacked their PS3 and cheated to get trophies.

Maybe it's a trap. All the cheaters get ninjas send to their home instead of props.

 

[Dead Prince]

i think i want the AC outfit if this guy comes with it.

 

[Manu]

71 Gold trophies here. Too bad it's NA only

 

[AshiusX]

I only have 23 gold trophies I feel so worthless
