I convince people to buy consoles all the time. But I never get rewards 
Kudos to Sony for offering.

Get 100 Vitas. Get fake friends. Win a million. Return Vita. Return friends. Keep a million.
It's a million points. $10,000.

Dont ask what Sony can do for you. Ask instead what you can do for Sony.
Even if every company in the VG industry in the world developed all their games exclusive for the VITA still nobody would buy it. Just learn from this Sony, in today's world only a very very niche amount of people want a dedicated portable gaming machine.
This is the best the Vita will ever perform and they have to count their losses, deal with it, and move on.

Obviously they were not going to give a million dollars, that'd be extremely sad.
TBF over 20 million units sold for the 3DS is hardly "niche". Perhaps you could say non Nintendo handhelds.

Sony.. why.. ah
His math made no sense. $250 x 100 Vitas = More than $10,000.
They're giving away a million reward points, hence the confusion.

And they won't be your friends for much longer.

I actually wouldn't mind doing this. I recently bought a Vita and I'm fine with helping my friend out and getting him a $20 PSN Card. Anyone got the link to the program?
Manti Te'o dream promotion.
Anyone that buys a system without research to see if there is content that appeals to them deserves to be in that situation.
Haters gonna hate. Vita's a great machine, especially with the one-year library already established.

I have to admit... this is sad. I'm going to try and gift myself a Vita soon! But it is really sad to see Sony go down this path.

Can't stop laughing
Sony and there pride is strong. For all this might as well price cut the handheld by 20.00 if your just going to give it away to people.

They are the worse I have ever seen in my entire life.
I work in advertising and I can confirm that Sonys marketing is... Horrible. #gamechanger?? It doesn't say anything really... Who cares?
To me it seems like people who have no insight or interest in gaming are running the advertising department.
Most campaigns give out messages that are completely out of touch with gamers and youth. Sonys advertising department doesn't seem to understand what their target group wants to see. Or who they are. They're aiming for a non existent target group. Watching Sony ads, I get the same feeling I had when my parents tried to act "cool" infront of my friends. It's just not right.
Sadly it's very common that big companies rather pick people who have a fancy background to work on their accounts than people who are right for the job and have passion. It should be a mix.
There are SO many gaming fans out there in the world. Sony should just look into gaming communities to find people who can advice them and lead them in the right direction, cause honestly - right now they don't have a direction.

Take the NYC subways every day...
Sat next to a guy with a 3DS today. I've seen about twenty 3DS's on the subway since it came out...and thousands upon thousands of phones.
Absolutely zero Vitas.

Oh boy 10,000 Monopoly monies. Can't wait to buy the entirety of Sony's web development team and still have 1000 left to print for toilet paper.

dropping the price would have been far more effective.

SONY is Avon now??? LOL!
I actually applaud this effort. It's late for the Vita, but this is very close to what should happen with the PS4.
Hypothetical: Everyone that connects to SEN from a PS4 on launch day gets a special sticker attached to their 'gamer tag.' Let's say a Gold star. A smaller star is passed on to anyone that has a PS4 user logged in on their Friends List. That star is contagious STD style.
There has been a trophy/achievement or two that did this.

None; on the other hand, my first day back in San Francisco with a 3DS and already a street pass! Woo.
Yeah... sounds like a good ide-
Oh never mind.
Now I'm curious. I get it. LOL marketing teh suck learn to business school whatever. But what is shady about this?lool it's a shadier version of Nintendo's Wii wi-fi ambassador program
Saw a guy with one in front of a movie theater in NYC and two other guys at my college in Massachusetts. I see plenty on Near, but I don't know if that counts.
But then the second year doesn't look that good. But it is early, I wish Sony doesnt kill this console

There's one person at my university with one. He only buys Sony products. (Not anything wrong with that.) I've only seen one person with a 3DS but I streetpass about 25 people every day I'm on campus.
