I ate a lot of Big Boxes trying to win a Vita.

 

[Shizzlee]

Time to start going to Taco Bell.

 

[smarmyjerkface]

What delicious foodstuffs come in a Big Box?

 

[Fried Food]

what a beautiful couple

 

[properpropaganda]

link don't work. Win a PS4, get diarreha?

I'll deal with it if i get a free system, especially before it's released.

 

[Prince Vultan]

If you like Tacos you are a bad person.

 

[Reversed]

UC4's Drake to hold a pack of tacos from TB confirmed.

If you like Tacos you are a bad person.

Pffft.

 

[Artex]

An excuse to eat more Doritos Locos tacos. Dat fire dorito shell.

 

[Permanently A]

Aw shit. When does this start?

Its a miniscule chance but... you gotta try!

 

[NotMyUsername]

Great. Can't wait to win again to then be told that I'm not really a winner but thanks for dealing with the glitch in their system.

 

[golem]

I got a box yesterday

Texted in my code and it didnt work

Damn you SONY

 

[Hidden One]

 

[DogMeat77]

A lot of people won the VITA this way I believe. Power to them.

Is this real? I doubt Sony would stoop to this level. This is shit other gaming companies do....not Sony.

You serious Clark?

It was only a month or so ago that Sony commissioned the Coke branded Playstation all-star rip-off-runner app.

 

[DBT85]

So wait, you pay to get the shits, and then you might on an outside chance get a PS4 as recompense.

How much are these boxes + all the bog roll you'll need going to come to?

 

[Xater]

I ate a lot of Big Boxes trying to win a Vita.

How much did those cost?

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

I hate Taco Bell but I want a free PS4, my stomach will have to endure

This has got to be my favourite post on NeoGAF in a while.

 

[New002]

Time to start going to Taco Bell.

Yes...start going...I also must start...

 

[Finalizer]

Carefully targeting the stoner audience.

 

[NullPointer]

 

[Derrick01]

Not even a PS4 could make me do that to my body.

I hope.

 

[Dead Prince]

won a vita through taco bell. let's do the same.

 

[RazielCuts]

 

[Valnen]

Diaherea Awaits.

Only for those with medical issues or pathetically weak stomachs =p.

 

[alr1ght]

How was the Vita giveaway exploited? Free codes?

 

[Dead Prince]

they found the direct link to the win page and people just used that to enter their information.

 

[def sim]

drake is sure looking good again

 

[Havik]

they found the direct link to the win page and people just used that to enter their information.

Did they actually send out the vitas that were won this way? They must have send a ton.

 

[EvB]

I wonder of the shell comes with filling now it's at Taco Bell?

 

[Southside Jim]

How much did those cost?

About ten years off his life.

 

[kick51]

This one time I ate taco bell and had giardia for 3 months straight

 

[GreatestHits]

Only for those with medical issues or pathetically weak stomachs =p.

Dude, how you you think people get medical issues?

I'm about to leave for lunch. I'm highly interested in a PS4, but I think I'll pass

 

[Dead Prince]

i think they canceled it and may have canceled legit people in the process. but i'm unsure of the details on that.

 

[twinturbo2]

"I heart PlayStation <3"

:jnc

 

[TheRealTalker]

Whats with gaming companies and TacoBell: the vita, the Xbox one and now the PS4

Seems like the middle spot of getting recognition while not paying the fast food chain a hefty price to advertise

 

[DaBoss]

Is that why the PS3 is fat?

 

[TheSeks]

They did this with the Vita as well.

And contest was broke and people didn't get their systems for better or worse.

Sony's tacos with Microsoft's Mountain Dew Baja Blast = Nintendo's...?

You advertise where your audience is.

No, during a particular two hour period there should have been eight winners but they said someone got into their system and it gave away 200 winners during that time period instead. I was one of them. I won legitimately and gave my info but then they broke contact until they finally sent out e-mails saying, "Sorry, you're not really a winner! It was all a big mistake!" and then another e-mail saying I'd get entered into the after-contest last draw for people to win Vitas that were unclaimed. But that also included anyone that wrote in for a free entry so in the end myself and the roughly 200 winners-but-not-winners were in a drawing with something like 40,000 people for a chance to win around 100 Vitas.

 

[coolasj19]

Not worth it... I think.

 

[Valnen]

What's with the Taco Hell hate anyway?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Do you need the box though? Last time I went to taco bell the just threw my slop in the bag.

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Ah darn it. I have no desire to buy the big box at Taco Bell.


When I go to there, it's to get one or two items off of the dollar menu. Actually, the $2 meal deals they have are great. You get chips for later, a soda, and one food item. Usually that's about it. If I eat a Taco Bell nacho burrito thing for lunch, I don't really have any desire to eat anything else for the rest of the day.

Too bad they don't deliver. I would totally order a big box via delivery and then just share the food with some of the customers that hang out at the store all day.

 

[Piggus]

Uhhh... They did it with the Vita. There's nothing wrong with them wanting to actually promote and advertise their product to people I other than forum dwellers.

 

[TheRealTalker]

You advertise where your audience is.

Seeing as a majority of GAffers crying foul by the mere mention of the Fast Food chain it seems unlikely... KFC though..

PS: you guys have weak stomachs

 

[Degen]

A chance to win a thing I want by getting a thing I like

well it's a tough call, but I may just have to give it a shot.

Is this real? I doubt Sony would stoop to this level. This is shit other gaming companies do....not Sony.

lmao

NOT SONY!

 

[famousmortimer]

it's good avertsing from sony,whats wrong?

Good advertising can be gross.


I would just prefer if gaming wasn't teaming up with Taco Bell and Doritos and Mountain Dew and all of these other diabetes and obesity inducing products. But... it's not gonna stop happening. So i'll just say it's gross and then ignore it.

I won but at the time my 3G was spotty so i couldn't send my information. i managed to take screencaps from my phone. emailed them the details and they sent me an email saying i would get it. when the time came i got my vita. even LBP well after the contest was over as it didn't come out during launch.

Do you need the box though? Last time I went to taco bell the just threw my slop in the bag.

if its like the vita you use the box for some AR crap. but people just used the image from online. i think we had a thread on here where they had the image in the "correct" Proportion.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Phat Drake always make me laugh XD.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Microsoft did a big promo with Taco Bell with the first Xbox. That went well.
