FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Now would be a great time for me to whine about how I don't live in the UK... | |
You know I ain't actually GONNA do this but the knowledge that I CAN makes me happy. | |
aw yeah, scotland baybey :) EDIT: "and if you're one of the first 5000 subscribers we'll pop your Sackboy in the post." yeh coulda made it a bit clearer dude, only 5000 being sent out :( | |
Damn you Sony i want one | |
Done and Done, now I just need a spacesuit and a skull mask for him. ;) | |
Oh yes. We are pretty awesome. After all, the UK invented the Chicken Tikka Masala, and we do have cool accents, don't we? Of course, as a Brit I much prefer the Irish accent, it's just so sexy... :) Anyway, I digress. I really wish I had a PS3 now, just for LittleBigPlanet. Sackboy is just so awesome... | |
I love CTM. So much. JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS. | |
Yeeees! i dont own a PS3 but my god im gonna own a sackboy! | |
YAAAAAAAAY, can't wait to get my sackboy! | |
Done and done! | |
As a UK resident, I wont be taking advantage of this generous offer | |
For your devotion to CTM, Keane, you are now an honourary Brit. Let me just get the certificate signed by the Queen and I'll post it straight to Escapist HQ as soon as humanly possible :) | |
Irish accent is great, I never thought it possible to want to have sex with an accent until I saw that one out of girls aloud. Her accent would totally get it. | |
It's only the first 5000 subscribers that get a sackboy you know... ...and there are already 6651... | |
Oh yeah, definitely. I just think that there's nothing sexier than an attractive Irish girl, speaking the language. Any girl who can speak Irish and has an Irish accent is basically my perfect girl. What could be sexier than Irish? | |
Well that filled up quick. They're up to over 6500 already. | |
Aww. Just signed up then noticed I was too late. | |
T_T. Ruined my just-gotten happy mood, where'd you find that out? | |
Fun fact: no-one's reported this. Neither here nor Offworld.
I presume they meant the NEXT 5000 subscribers. I doubt they got 6651 in ten minutes. After all, that channel's been there since January 9th. So, buck up. You may get one. | |
Subscribed and message sent. Here's hoping I got in there quickly enough. I'd be psyched to get a free Sackboy, that's for sure! Anyone got an idea when they put the notification of the giveaway up on the channel? Just wondering how much time people have had to subscribe already. | |
I'm sure the reason why they did this is because the number of people in the US who would sign up would be double/triple/quadruple the size of just UK/Ireland. Sorry US, we've got a bigger population D: | |
Hmm, 3 days of no school coming, lets take a $3,000 trip to get a free sackboy, solid plan right? | |
God DAMN IT! | |
Dude... that would be awesome, you really going to try and make one? | |
No need, it already has its own skull, and lots of internal organs | |
For god sakes! Give the folks down under something!! | |
I'll see what I can do :) | |
Damn you Sony! Damn you to hell!! Not that I'm a big sackboy fan, because I'm not... But I'm a sucker for cute free stuff. | |
It's Sony, they took 4-6 weeks to mail you your network connection disc if you sent in the card that came with your PS2 (by then I had already forgotten my login name and judging by the threads on the forum that was a common issue), this'll probably take till next year to arrive. | |

Am I the only one who thinks those Sackboys look like those horror movie doll murderers? I certainly wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole. | |

Sony Giving Away Sackboys For All In The UK
Sony Europe and Media Molecule are giving away free Sackboy dolls to anyone in the UK. All you have to is sign away your soul (not really).
As much as I love Freedom Fries and The Constitution, I do sometimes wish I lived in the UK. People there have cool accents. There's better curry. Also, they, at least in this instance, have the more generous branch of Sony's hyperglobal megacorporation, because Sony Europe are giving away woolen Sackboy dolls to "all our UK and Irish friends."
What about your American friends, huh? Anyway, if you meet the qualifications for this giveaway, all you have to do is subscribe to the official UK LittleBigPlanet channel on YouTube, then send a message over YouTube to that account with your name and address, or send an email to littlebigplanet@scee.net, presumably with proof that you're following them on YouTube. That's that, and they'll mail you a woolen Sackboy toy.
Only catch is that you need to have that done by July 1. Considering the amount of postage Sony Europe's going to be blowing on this promotion, I probably wouldn't expect to be getting the toy until months from then, but I have no faith in the postal service.
Aside from that, I can't see any reason not to do this if you're in the UK and enjoy cuddly and overbearingly cute things. Of course, it could all be an evil plan and Sony Europe's stuffed the toys full of evil brainwashing gas that'll make you go out and buy 20 PS3s, but for Sackboy, I'd be willing to take that risk.
(Offworld)
UPDATE: So it seems that the promotion is up, and that Sony didn't actually have enough Sackboys for everyone in the UK. They only had 5000, so those first lucky 5000 subscribers will get their toy shipped in "next few weeks" while the next 3000 people who subscribed are getting a free Sackboy t-shirt. Not a bad deal if you got in that first bunch.
