give blood and you could get bloodborne free (Playstation Denmark and GivBlod)

Who the fuck would give Anthon Berg to blood donors!? That stuff is jolly expensive!Still think I'd prefer the regular "reward"
The only times I have given blood over here I have been given a cookie so bad I might as well have bitten into a dead dog. Another time I was given a hematogen candy bar so hard it could have been used in the construction of a railroad bridge.
All that aside, getting Bloodborne for giving blood sounds like a really good idea. I hope their drive gets tons of blood.
That's how I read it as well but the next sentence qualifies that the game is dependent on the die roll.
In addition to a game you also get entered for a draw win the Bloodborne themed PS4.
That's why I got confused.
The OP had it right all along, I didn't read the full paragraph and paid attention. Sorry.
here is the paragraph from the press release..
so it is not guaranteed.. (or it could be.. it´s strangely worded)

Some people cant give blood as they are on medication and what not. I am one of those people and I seriously wish I could give blood as I agree its super easy and extremely important.
My Father in Law has given blood almost 100 times I think. He has it regularly scheduled into his calendar.

Thanks, and the coffee is better in københavn so that is OK.
They pay per donation?
Here it's illegal to sell your blood. Blood donations are voluntary, and all you get is a snack. Well, and the satisfaction of helping people lol

I see, a hdd BB themed cover is already good enough, I say.
And about the game being guaranteed or not, it still is a pretty cool campaign.
Here in Germany it's:
blood donation: 15 - 25
plasma donation: 25 - 40

That's actually really cool! Nice advertisement and it helps alot people.

Japan has got all the good ones. The only one we've got was the 20th Anniversary and that had a limited run (which I luckily got).
Does the White one count?

Yeah, you can go like 8 times per month for blood. The first 2 visits pay out like $40-50 each and then each one after that is ~$30-35.

Amazing. I travel this bridge everyday though because I work in Copenhagen and live in Malmö
I should do this!
ALso, men need to wait less to donate again, so an active male donor is better for the hospital than an active female donor.
Like most gender segregated spaces, this has little to do with your actual gender but more about some generic biological trait that is not 100% on each gender, in this case the blood production in your body, which testosterone helps to increase.

You need more than a brand new video game as incentive to donate blood because ew, icky?

Good for those allowed to give blood.
Not Ew, icky. Needles, veins, and blood just creep me out. Some people are afraid of spiders and can almost feel them crawling on their skin at the mere mention of them. When I hear detailed descriptions of anything blood or vein related, or imagine the process of giving blood, my arm starts to ache and I get goosebumps. NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Fuck yeah. If there's a scene where the Hunter wraps a rubberband around his arm and sticks a needle in his vein, I'll just close my eyes.

Eh, I guess I don't understand because I never had that fear. If someone asked me to climb up a tall-ass multi-story ladder to cure cancer I'd probably be noping the fuck out too.
we have a guy here at work that gets VERY ill if he sees blood. He can´t even stand to hear about it..
One time he had a tiny cut on his finger.. he came and asked for a patch for the cut. He couldn´t look at his finger. He looked away all the time. And when the patch was on his finger, he had to sit down for an hour.. he had a wet cloth on his forehead all the time.. he almost fainted.
So some people really don´t like blood.

Wish the US did this.
Wow, I wish I got cash when I donated blood but all I got was a sandwich. Still, I'd probably feel bad doing it for cash, it's something you just do.
I get the fear but you could be more of an adult when it comes to phrasing it. Though, I guess you don't play any violent video games with blood in them then!

That's awesome. I hope it makes a lot of people donate blood.
I've donated three times so far, through four attempts. I wasn't hydrated enough the first time. My vein is tricky to get to and needs a lot of water.
We get a drink and food (cookie, donut, etc.) for doing it. But that's more than enough.

Better than me. I'm phobic of needles so good lucky trying to get me to voluntarily do anything involving needles (unless you work on my hypochondria enough to get that to kick in so that my fear of disease overcomes my fear of needles. Tetanus is the only shot I've willingly gotten and that is cause some one described tetanus to me *shudder*).
I've gotten a lot better about it honestly. But the longer I go without being stuck the more back to being phobic I get (I was getting pretty good about it when I was in the hospital after a motorcycle crash but they were sticking me everyday for a while).
But.. that being said, could you go and ask them to just stick you and not mention blood and just not look (ask them to put a towel over it so you can't see it even if part of you is tempted)?

I'm with the people that hate getting their blood taken. What always happens with me is they find a vein and stick the needle in, but can't get enough blood. So they find another vein, stick the needle in, and still don't get enough blood. So they have to find a 3rd vein before they finally get enough blood.
