Oct 
MotorStorm Pacific Rift crashes into stores today, and if you early adopters think you’re going to be cleaning up online – be warned: the athletes on the Dew Action Sports Tour have been practicing. The Dew Tour recently wrapped up with the PlayStation Pro – the final event of the year for this traveling BMX, FMX, and skate road show.
As the name implies, PlayStation had a big presence; some of the athletes met up at the PlayStation Experience Truck for some Play with the Pros action in MotorStorm – take a look:
For more pics and details of what went down at the PlayStation Pro, click over to this coverage from the Orlando Sentinel’s gaming blog (thanks to Matt for the above photo as well).
If you noticed the T-shirts or the kid with the MotorStorm Pacific Rift hat in the video – these numbers were pretty hot commodities at the event… so we saved some for you readers. The first 15 people to send a request to givemethatmotorstormschwag@gmail.com will score themselves a MotorStorm Pacific Rift shirt *and* hat, free of charge.
Now for the obligatory legal disclaimer: To enter, we must receive your email no later then October 28th, 2008 at 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 meet the terms set forth. The senders of the first fifteen qualifying applications that we receive will win (1) t-shirt and (1) hat each (approximate value is $19.99). Prize fulfillment is at Sponsor’s discretion and based on availability.
(Average: 4.23 out of 5)

Will you announce the winners on the blog or will you send back emails to us?
+ Jeff Rubenstein on October 28th, 2008 at 4:15 pm said:
The winners will be notified tomorrow. Then they can gloat all they want in the comments.
In an on-topic fashion, of course.

A bit off topic but is there a way I could get the RSS for the PSBlog on my PSP???
+ Jeff Rubenstein on October 28th, 2008 at 4:22 pm said:
PSP handles video RSS, but not text.

jeff were those real PS3 controllers they look bigger and better to play with.
+ Jeff Rubenstein on October 28th, 2008 at 4:22 pm said:
Yeah, they just have this clear plastic thing around them that secures the wire so they don\’t go disappearing.

+ Jeff Rubenstein on October 29th, 2008 at 8:21 am said:
So if I have 15 of something (like in this case), I should just keep it for myself? That\’s more fair?

damn i hope i was one of the lucky 15, i almost never get stuff from sony anymore, and im in the GAP. i used to get demo disks for psp and other stuff,
now, idk what happened, but dont get as much mailings. I still get paper mail from playstation every once in a while :)

+ Spectrace on October 28th, 2008 at 5:38 pm said:
Oh, Jeff, Are there different sizes of hats/shirts? or is it one size for everyone, because if I happen to be one of the luckies, I would like a shirt/hat that fits and I can wear.
I’m pretty sure this question applies to all entrants. :)

Yep…I think they should have a schwag shop as part of the PSN store…all the developers could sell ton’s of cr@p on there…

But I’ve got Motorstorm 2 on my pre-order list.

Dang, no love for canadians again…
Let me see…
Motorstorm is only coming out Tomorrow in Canada, but it’s available today in the U.S.
My set 3 Eye of Judgment cards will NEVER be available in Canada, and I have to order them from the U.S. (They came out already in other countries!)
Just got my LBP pre-order yesterday, but many U.S. gamers got theirs way before (and with my luck,the server is down since yesterday)
And now, as a canadian, I’m not allowed to get into this awesome draw. (Wow! The cap is awesome)
Just look up on a map guys… The huge country north of the U.S. is Canada. It’s a good chunk of North America too.
(Sorry, had to let go some steam, not my style normally)

“So if I have 15 of something (like in this case), I should just keep it for myself? That’s more fair?”
No. But make it to where people who have jobs and a life and who don’t sit and read the blog all day, have a chance. That would be fair. Some people don’t have jobs and are always the 1st posters. That’s not fair to the ones who have responsibilities.
Sorry to seem like a complainer, but be fair.

Another thing Sony, don’t sweat sales/non-profits of the PS3. Here’s what happening…no one knew what u guys would bring to the table of next-gen. The reason Y everyone jumped to 360 was b/c expectations were high and that time (PS3 lauch) you weren’t able to deliver as well as the developers. This is where M$ was smart. They were the first to market next-gen hardware and get info to the consumer on HD gaming. This is where PS3 was left in the dust, however, u guys do now understand what next-gen is about as well as the DVs. Now, u can prove why u guys said next-gen started when u said so, it was just said prematurely, that’s all. Now its time to show the Competition and consumer alike what next-gen SONY Computer Entertainment is about!!!
SONY…..like.no.other.
