Maybe they booed because the prize sucked?

I mean think about it... they are at a launch party. Chances are they have a system already. Chances are a good deal of them have the Ps3. Chances are they know about the Ps3 having better resolution... so why would they want to win a down grade?

So they can sell it for few bucks on ebay? I'd take free Xbox anyday, if just to sell it...


I'd take it and sell it too... just like Id sell playoff tickets... but again. If its something I dont want why shouldnt I boo it? sure Id make a few bucks but I'd much rather win a Ps3 version of the game or the Hawks tickets. Something I would enjoy and be able to use.

You'd take a 60 dollar game over a 299 dollar system? Well I don't know but doing my basic math that system equals 5 launch titles on the console of your choice. The prize didn't suck. They just don't like the fact that SE went multiplatform. Which we can understand, it's painfull to lose a title of your beloved series and degrade it's content and quality and prolong it's development by another year and a half.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Since you aren't a retailer the value of the system already decreases. But anyway. Yes, I sure the hell wwould take a game that I could use over a system I don't want. If they want to increase the "ohhhh" factor of the contest they could throw in some random FF13 swag... which any gamer could use no matter what console they own.

Why shouldn't you boo it?  Because it's free, it could be a system you don't own, it can make you a good deal of money, it's cool to win prizes.

The better question is why should you boo it?  Because I don't want it isn't really an aswer, well, it is, but it's a stupid answer.

Personally I wouldn't care if these nerds booed me or not. Instead of booing the 360 bundle they should be booing the fact the game blows.

As long as you haven't opened it most retailers will take it so no, it hasn't decreased.
