A Bounty of PlayStation Schwag Awaits You … Maybe
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media
Now that most of the year’s major game industry events are behind us, the steadily growing bounty of PlayStation t-shirts, hats, pens, notebooks, oh, and belt buckles are reaching critical mass. I kid you not.
This being the situation, folks, we have an idea:
We know a lot of people here have been PlayStation fans for years and for some of you, in fact, all of your lives. So it’s time to put your knowledge to the test. We’ve come up with 10 PlayStation trivia questions. If you think you know the answers, use the ‘contact us’ link on the side of this blog with “I Want Some Schwag!” as the subject line. Of course, include your answers, name and mailing address.
If all 10 of your answers are correct, you’ll be entered into a random drawing where 10 winners will be given a bounty of PlayStation schwag.
Sorry, now for the gratuitous legal disclaimer: To be eligible, you must send in your answers no later then October 31, 2007 11:59 PM (PST). Limit one entry per person and valid e-mail address for the duration of the promotion: Contest is only open to U.S. residents ages 13 or older who answer all 10 questions correctly. Prize fulfillment is at Sponsor’s discretion and based on availability.
Here’s what you’re playing for, people. Get your game faces on:
And here are the questions:
1. What was the date of the launch of the first PlayStation in the U.S.?
2. What PlayStation launch title ‘shot fireworks’ into the industry?
3. On what date were plans for PlayStation 3 first shared?
4. Name one team that is playing in the NHL FaceOff section of the U R Not E commercial?
5. What was the name of the first PlayStation title from these developers?
a. Naughty Dog
b. Insomniac
c. Eidetic
6. What is the full name of the female member of Interpol in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus?
7. What game is this character from?
8. How many power cells and precursor orbs were there to collect in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy?
9. According to the famed PS9 commercial, PS9’s electronic spores do what?
10. What is the weight difference between the original PSP and the recently announced PSP-2000?
I’ll post the answers and the names of the lucky winners here once they’re drawn.
Good luck!

Boxer5353 | October 16th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Too bad I’m from Canada. Maybe PlayStation (Sony)(and most other companies) should realize there is more people in the world than you yanks!
89
Kpepe | October 16th, 2007 at 8:20 pm

TheHakku | October 16th, 2007 at 10:06 pm
@92
That’s a dumb proposition. Obviously if they know all the answers they are going to want all the prizes, and not share the information.

#7 looks like an alien dodo…
I have a few suspicions as to who it is but I don’t know for sure…

Nice touch Sony Blog
I guess there aren’t many Canadian’s visiting the blog. I’m going to have to send out an e-mail.

derrickgott007 | October 17th, 2007 at 7:41 am
Can someone give a clue for #7?
98
P3rf3ct_Gam3r | October 17th, 2007 at 11:46 am
I don’t believe anyone knows what number 7 is. I browed through about 1000 PS One games the other night and I give up.
If you know, more power to you. Feel free to give a clue, GENRE (Action, RPG, Platform) or something. Obviously it’s not a main character.
Wasted hours of my life yesterday, lol. Pathetic.

GAME-HERO | October 17th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
