Holy carp, this may be the first time in my life that I win anything! :D

I'll probably put my black PS4 on Ebay and use the limited edition, but I haven't decided yet - just got the email five minutes ago!
 
Nah, I really only have use for one PS4. Options are:

a) Sell limited edition on Ebay for big bucks
b) Sell black PS4 on Ebay and keep limited edition for myself

I'm heavily leaning towards option b.

c) Hold a MacRumors Console Games forum contest with the Limited Edition PS4 as a prize

d) Offer either PS4 to a longtime MacRumors Console Games forum member who doesn't own a PS4, yet (like myself) at a nice discount (say 50% off?).


Congratulations, by the way!
 
Hey, it's great to hear that somebody nice wins something!

I'd say I never win anything, but I did win a game of bingo...once...in 3rd grade, LOL!
 
dude congrats, if you are in need of some money sell it, if not sell it to me for free. JK, but congrats on the win

Haha, sure. So the first time in my life that I actually win something, and it's something completely awesome that can't be bought in stores and has an Ebay value of roughly 2k bucks. Giving it away to some person I have never met before is not exactly the first idea that comes to mind... ;)

I decided I will keep the limited edition myself and use it as my normal PS4 (as opposed to keeping it shrink-wrapped to conserve its value). I actually owned the original Playstation 20 years ago, and have owned every Playstation that came after it, so this really means something to me.

I will sell my black PS4, probably to a personal friend for a friendly price. :)

:eek:

*runs off screaming*
 
Incredibly jealous. I tried and failed miserably to get hold of one, gave up in the end :mad:

Also kudos for actually keeping the console and using it. I grew up with the original Playstation too so would have done the same.
 
Oh neat! A local buddy managed to get one too.
I didn't try and get one. As much as I love the PS4 I think the black one still looks the best.
 
Here's one shot of the box. I'll take more when I get around to set it up this weekend.

Congrats on the win!!!
I'm thinking of getting a PS4 myself,not sure though,I'm just a casual gamer:D
 
How did you win it?


It was a competition run by a collection of gaming sites here in Germany, I found it on www.gamezone.de . Over the course of one month, they would post one article per week on a different site, and you had to answer a question about each article. They gave away five PS4's, so I guess I just got lucky. :)
 
I set it up last weekend, everything works perfectly. Still need to hook up the camera.

But of course, I have had no time whatsoever to play since I got it up and running!

Sold my black PS4 to a good friend for a very friendly price.
 
For the price that they are going for right now, I would have held on to it for a bit, and sold it eventually.
