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!

I can’t submit anything, it says “ERROR: Your remarks is invalid.” Someone please help me…
I’m pretty sure I got #7, it’s one of my favorite games!!
107
Syrlis | October 17th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
#7 is wayy easy, it’s #’s 2 & 3 that are hard, because you can’t find the answer to these on the internet
clue 1: someone said this is a playstation one game (this is correct)
clue 2: the title is two words OR less!

Darkendless | October 17th, 2007 at 7:19 pm
why cant you tell us?
109
CamaroAce | October 17th, 2007 at 7:21 pm
because that would greatly decrease our own chances of winning. Not many know #7 but those who do have a really good chance at winning.

Darkendless | October 17th, 2007 at 7:21 pm
it is xenogears
111
jitty9 | October 17th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
@Syrlis
What are you talking about? #2 you can find on the internet and 3 is easier than you think.
For number seven on the other hand, you have to know the specific game! And your clue is very helpful, it narrowed it down to about 200+ games!!

Which game are you most likely to purchase on the day of its release?
Ratchet and Clank
Heavenly Sword
LAIR
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
All of the above
why is there a ‘none of the above’ option?

samuraiseth | October 18th, 2007 at 11:53 am
is #2 supposed to be a PlayStation 2 launch title? cause it would be Fantavision if it was cause it was a ps2 launch title.

MrCamo | October 18th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Warhawk news!! there is said to be a patch coming that will add a airborne vehicle transport!! I have a pic that you can see of you have a PS3. go to the account set up on your PS3 avatar. go to the area where you can pick the avatar picture. i think it is on page 13, close to the socom characters. there is a Warhawk Avatar that has a white background and has the new vehicle!! Just a little thing i found last night. Just keepin you informed everybody. Sorry this is not in the correct area.
