Hey PS Blog Community –
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Halloween costume contest. By and large, the majority of you opted to dress up as SackBoys. We loved looking at all of the photos and it was tough to narrow it down, but Jeff did his best to select the top five submissions based on originality and likeness of character. Look over your voting ballot below (along with Jeff’s comments), before casting your all important vote. We’re now counting on you, the readers, to select the top three participants who will go on to receive fabulous prizes and praise. Make your selection below by this Friday, 5:00 PM PST. One vote per person (trust us, we know). Good luck to the finalists!
Entry #1 – SackCouple (Ricardo G.)
Jeff says: Our first entry received set the tone – lots of SackBoys! The female one is sporting a very “Ms. Pac-Man” vibe, with the askew bow. Adorable.
Entry #2 – Team WipEout (Jessica D.)
Jeff says: This entry gets my vote as most creative. These two posed as WipEout drivers, sporting their team affiliations. I’d have declared them instant winners if they went with my fave, Team Goteki – so they’re still going to need votes to win.
Entry #3 – Hawaiian Sackboy (Daniel W.)
Jeff says: I think this is the most well-constructed SackBoy – just look at that zipper! Not sure about that shirt though, I’d search the levels for some outfit bubbles you may have missed …
Entry #4 – Helghast (ding dong)
Jeff says: This entry succeeds in being even more creepy than Killzone 2’s Helghast troops. I won’t sleep well tonight.
Entry #5 – SackBoat (Ross A.)
Jeff says: This SackBoy clearly pressed up on the D-pad repeatedly – that tongue is wagging. Bonus points for risking the costume to jump into a boat, for completely unclear reasons.
Vote now, America (and anywhere else you may be reading this from)!

Now these two won’t count, as they didn’t represent SCE characters, but I wanted to honor them anyway:
Special Mention – Best Weapon (Josh H)
Jeff says: Biohazard KeyBlade (he called it Emerald Weapon). That’s awesome.
Special Mention – Scariest Costume (FritoZ)
Jeff says: Even I wouldn’t dress as me. Seriously, I’ve already changed my locks.
You and i both know it’s all about the HELGHASTS!!!!!
HAHA the Jeff costume. That’s awesome :)
All the entries are good, I like the PS3 product placement in Sack Couple and it was close to earning my vote… but I had to vote for Sack Boat. It’s just so ridiculous and fun that a boat be used with the costume… sort of like LBP.
ROFL @ the jeff costume….
Vote for Helghast!!!
The sackboat of the helghast!
That keyblade is REALLY awesome!
are they going to reveale LBP DLC later on the blog today?
sackboat for me :D
PS: I can’r install the new firmware….
God Damnit!
LOL! I wanted to vote for the jeff costume. at first i was like “Why is Jeff putting a picture of himself on there” and then I realized it was just someone else with a jeff mask! xD
I voted for the WipeOut gang, those jackets are sweet :D
WipEout gets my vote. That Keyblade is awesome looking!
A Jeff costume?
I’d change my locks too if someone dressed up as me.
lol@ these. especially the jeff costume. sackboy in random canoe ftw.
Come on, that Helghast is pretty lame… :|
My ballot has been cast! :D
If someone dressed up as me… I’d laugh at them and tell them they looked stupid. XD XD
AWWW JEFF!!! Hehe that is why I emailed you bro to ask if it was ok for me to cosplay as Sora–I didn’t want to be disqualified!!! LOL no biggie–I entered more for fun anyways—BTW everyone my bro, Trev, built the keyblade—he went as Hollow-Ichigo from Bleach and built his own sword as well–getting pretty good at it–I sent Jeff a second pic of me leaning against the KeyBlade where you can see it in better detail–it has a chain running up the middle of it too.
I voted for the Wipeout costumes.
That Jeff costume is awesome! :p
I voted for the Helgast, but all the entries are sweet! Good luck. :)
Cheers,
Chris
haha best post in a long time. Pretty funny remarks from Jeff. I’m pretty impressed with how talented/artsy so many of the submissions were. Well done. Maybe next year, I won’t be Billy Mays (from the OxiCLEAN commercials) and I’ll be something PS-related.
Billy Mays *is* a good costume though…
