SCE Canada Contest: Win a Red PS3 Limited Edition

The canadian website for the PLAYSTATION recently opened and many contests already rolled out. Right now, you could get a chance to win one of the three "Red China" PS3. The contest is open until July 15th and is available to Canadian customers only.

[Bill Gates]

I'd love to get my hands on a blood red PS3.

[THWIP]

...as that's the color Sony is seeing in their financial reports. ;)

[beast]

And sure the rings of death problem is FIXED yeah sure ..i mean it really...

[sandip787]

well, you and many other fanboys have 2 red rings. the red ring on your console, and the red ring microsoft gave you for buying their console!!!

[Shadow Flare]

the red and white ps3's look so good

[edit] THWIP

thats hilarious John Merrick. Coincidently red also suits the 360 really well since thats what colour 9/10 customers see on their 360's ring

[THWIP]

Yeah, whatever. We both know if it was anywhere near even HALF, there'd already be a government investigation underway, as well as a multi-billion $$ class-action lawsuit. With the redesign, the "red ring" will soon be a thing of the past anyway, so it's a dead issue.

And for the record, my launch 360 is still working flawless, quiet, and cool as a cucumber. A meager $10 investment in 2 quality external fans (originally used with my old XBOX), for active airflow (necessary for my setup, since the 360 is inside an enclosure), is all it takes. ;)

[Kleptic]

a thing of the past?...and that doesn't anger you, an obvious 360 owner, at all?

So what about the 10 million plus 360s out right now, one of which you own? When MS starts rolling out "fixed" redesigned 360s...and does nothing to help the current base (which will still keep popping), you think they are going to help them out after warranty expirations? They sure don't now...why would they change...

Its really funny how when this issue gets brought up (which you completely walked right into...it is your fault this is even being discussed in a thread that has nothing to do with it), most 360 owners act like its no big deal, and point out that MS is doing their best to prevent this for FUTURE OWNERS...they have not once admitted to it being an issue, and have all kinds of customer support problems going on with current owners...

They keep crapping right in your mouth...and even when a little crap rolls off your chin and onto the floor...you guys scoop it right up...eat it, to make sure you didn't miss any crap consumption...Then come into the discussions not at all related to your system and vomit the crap onto us...We didn't eat it in the first place...keep it away from us...

Don't be takin' my bubbles either people (or please someone give me them back)...the day I go into the 360 section and make stupid posts to make little digs...take my bubbles so I can't post as much...but I am hardly a fanboy by simply calling out ignorant posts by ignorant people...in a relevant section...

[BBsin]

that must mean theres an invisible xbox360 somewhere since it's still non existent in japan even with all that effort and with MS still not making a penny worth of profit through their whole console venture. otherthan that sony's financial status fine.... the camcorder,movie, and tv sales stabilizes the losses through the PS3. The stock prices has risen more than 10 percent since the ps3's launch. shows how much you know.....

[JUSTaGAME]

Developers must not think the Xbox360 hardware failure is a big issue, because they keep jumping from the SONY ship and right into the Microsoft life raft! LOL

[fenderputty]

bash the PS3 for having to buy an HDMI cable yet the 360 owners have to buy a fan to keep it from breaking.

[BBsin]

JustaGame. last I checked most developers still develop games for the Ps3. Most games happen to be multiplatform, you talk as if Ps3 owners are not getting the games at all. And the developers can careless about rings of death. As long as the MS fanboys are stupid enough to buy 2-3 systems to replace their first system. they won't care. If my 360 ever pulls a ring of death on me, I'm not getting another till it's less than $250. Why are you fanboys in here anyways?. this topic has nothing to do with the 360 but some idiot fanboy trolls in (as usual) and posts a false smartass joke. this topic changed from "red ps3" to flamewar. seriously get a life fanboys and stop obsessing with the ps3. If the 360 is as good as you say it is then you should be playing it, instead of talking sh!t about a red colored Ps3.

[ben hates you]

the 360 i seen not to long ago that would be a good match

@adriokor not flaming i just like simpsons.. be good to have both

[Adriokor]

I hope I win :D

On a side note why are xbox owners coming here to flame? Don t ya all have games to play?

[someguy]

There actually is a class action suit launched against the 360 failure rate.

That is why they don't comment on the failure rate. (that and it is so high it is laughable).

[Marceles]

nice, finally an official red PS3. I'd enter the contest just to get a t-shirt, but too bad i'm not in canada :(

[closedxxx]

Get some glossy red auto paint and some painters tape and make your own 1337 Kuzt0m r3D PS3!!

I'd be excited if this thing came with some games that I actually gave a sh*t about, but since I already own, and played to DEATH the only 2 decent games for the console, having it in red would just be too prominent, and draw my attention to it more frequently, thus reminding me that I should have waited for a PS3 price cut before buying becuase by then, maybe they will have some AAA games, and not just a bunch of hype and CG trailers

[drtysouf21]

I like it. I think a Tarheels blue would be cool too.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Carolina blue would be nice...

But then again NC State red would look cool too :P.

N.C. residents represent!

[Odion]

Winning this contest should be easy since the population of PS3 fans here in Canada is so freaking small

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Sh1t, the population of Canada is small. Your all a bunch of border-hugging, jean jacket wearing, no good potsmoking (legalize it) maple syrup eating draft dodgers that enjoy free healthcare.

BTW im jk.

EDIT @ TruthHurts: By "no good potsmoking" I meant that you Canadians are "no good" potsmokers (btw it was a joke). I knew that up in Vancouver and whatnot they have the dank ass cannabis cup. I wanna go there....I'd flip....

[warfed]

out of all my friends 1 has an xbox (that broke 3 times) the rest all have ps3... You must live somewhere they can't afford ps3s I guess...

[TruthHurts]

no good herb?

huh, i hang w/ a cannibus cup winner.

[JUSTaGAME]

I always wanted a $600 bright red paper weight

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

No man it makes a better doorstop than a paperweight. It really absorbs the impact of my door really well. The other day the coffee table leg was a little short so I put my PS3 under there...guess what it works great! It even doubles as a booster-seat for little Timmy!! Oops don't poop on it, oh well I don't ever use it!

Maybe I can use it as an achor for my boat?

[felidae]

i feel sorry for some guys. so sad.

btw - red ps3 looks hot

[toughNAME]

ugh

i do not like my countries name on such a crummy product

[sandip787]

god you people complain that ps3 fans go to your side and start irrelevant wars.
NEWSFLASH - look at what your doing Rtards

[Kleptic]

exactly...this is really sad...about 3 posts in some tool started firing off a really sad attempt at making ps3 fans feel bad...and trolls followed with him...

My ignore list should be growing exponentially...but it is still funny to read these guys...If no new news is popping up, fish some of these dudes comments...lots of them flip flop on similar arguments so bad they are worse than the gaming company's PR departments...

this clearly is only a PS3 related discussion...yet some insist on coming into said discussion with mindless half-wit comments that shouldn't even be accepted by their own D'bag friends...for example:

"I always wanted a $600 red paper weight"....hahahahahahaha hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha h ahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahha h aha....I have to immediately buy a 360 because their fans are the coolest, and have the wittiest things to say...I should throw a brick at you...

I am aware that some PS3 tools do the same thing...but please...just stop doing it, its not hard...and you end up not coming off as such an annoying douche...

[Premonition]

It would be cool around FFXIII release sony has a special edition PS3 with custom design just for FFXIII.

[Kyur4ThePain]

An official red Ferrari edition with GT5.
Would probably cost the earth but....imagine.
:)
