Playstation heart Taco Bell?

My box was an MTV box. :(

They tried to do that to me too and I walked back in and asked for the PS4 box. Guy was nice about it... said he didn't realize they were packing the wrong boxes because no one came back and said anything.

Ate the taco, the pita spooned taco, took two bites of the burrito and went "this whole thing was a bad idea". Three hours later I feel like I'm fighting off death. I am not doing this anymore.
 
Got my box but had to ask for it. Had to tell the cashier I wouldn't have ordered it if it weren't for the box.
 
Just entered a code, didn't work. Kinda sucks that you have to put in your name and address after putting in the code, it was almost making me feel likei won, haha. I was planning on entering the code around 430 AM central time, but I decided not to stay up that late.
 
Tried 3 times already and still nothing. My dad got a box on Thursday and I lost. Me and my brother got one Friday, and he lost on that day at 11:40AM. Then I thought I'd try my code just now because it's pretty late at night (3:42AM to be exact) and my chances may have raised, but still nothing.

I've tried this 3 times and still nothing. Forget this contest, I'm just waiting for the internet codes instead of wasting money on this box. Personally I feel this 15min system is broken, but that just might be my anger speaking.

At least I tried I guess :(

Lol I have eaten Taco Bell so many times for lunch at work since it is one minute away, and I have never even gotten gas from it.

"Euuugh saturated fat. My insides are gonna explode all SNES-style like BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM in random locations"
 
They didnt give me the box i had to ask for it and they asked me if i was to stay or to go. Why should that matter in getting a box or not, the promo says box, i want box.
Anyway didnt enter it yet will wait till after the weekend when i may have a better chance.
 
had someone get me a $5 box.

they really need to throw away the MTV box. or not do 2 contest during the same month even if one ends at the start of the next. that or they need to teach their cashier or not put up the PS poster on the window.


anyways. have a third box. will try the code later.
 
Yay! I got a box this time. Gonna enter my code in later tonight and beat DMPrince.

Yeah, I picked up Box number 2 today. I tried around 7:30 am Friday, didn't win. I don't know if I will try this one before midnight, and try to get a new box tomorrow, or hold this one until the middle of the night, like 3am or so.
 
Their burrito was enough to make me want to buy a ps4 the normal way. Might give another go next month.
 
I remember when I was 14 giggling about how taco bell causes diarrhea was funny too.
I'm 0/5 on the boxes ): 2 dorrito boxes, two crunchwrap boxes, and a cheesy gordita box. Going back in tomorrow.

So is the idea to get a code and wait until the middle of the night when less people are entering them? It really works like that?

I tried at 11:40PM and as late as 3:50AM and it didn't work for me. I think the reason so many people won before is because it was the first day and no one knew about it, and Taco Bell wasn't advertising it everywhere. Now I think it's just luck to win.

I'll try sending in 10 postcards Monday, and try throughout the month. Hopefully I can get the codes back fast since they're being delivered in my state.

I feel like, if such a trick is possible, it might work sometime during early morning, like 5AM to 8AM EST. We have to remember that some Taco Bells stay open until 3AM or 4AM, and also the fact that even though it's 4AM on the East Coast, it's only 1AM on the West. I get up pretty early each morning, so I'll try my codes during that time. Statistically, my odds should be better, but I still doubt I'll win anything.
 
I put my code in at like 5:40AM but no dice.

If this box came with a Doritos Locos Taco instead of a crummy plain one it'd be perfect.

That's actually a pretty good strategy. I really wish it was just winning codes instead of every 15mins. For some reason I just have an itch that this whole 15min rule can be broken, or abused.
 
So far no pattern/strategy has been formed due to the lack of winners on the forum which means playing now is complete luck. The strategy to stay up late to put codes in has amounted to no wins so far.

After the poorly run PSV contest, any confidence in a strategy forming to improve ones odds in winning is pretty low. I think winning will be total luck so break out your lucky underwear.
 
I don't think it will benefit anyone to stay up late to play. I just think they have set times down to the second for prizes to be given away and whoever enters their code at that time gets it. I gave up after 1 try. The food in that box is horrible.
 
So I didn't beat DMPrince last night when I stayed up until 3:30am EST last night to enter my codes. :(

Will try again, this time I'm going to have my cousin eat the food. Taco Bell 3 times this week is enough for me.

i'l play one more time sometime next week. no point in wasting money when i could just use this money to buy some games for it. just will wait for october. sure it lessens the chance of winning but it saves on money.
 
I entered a code Friday morning at 6:37 am and won (oddly enough, it was while I was in the bathroom lol!). Couldn't believe it, its the first time I've ever won anything! My suggeststion, enter codes early in the morning and from the toilet.

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

lol your sacred cow Sony has done this before...

Also as someone who worked at a taco bell in highschool, I cant believe people still eat there honestly.

Text message or website?
 
I love "mexican" food, so this is a fine bargin imo. It helps that after subjecting myself to eating from Taco Bell I actually won a PS4. I already have one preordered though so I may donate the free one, or gift it to someone. Never won of these before so Ill be curious to see how it works out.
 
I remember my Subway let me buy 30 cups for 25 cents a piece when they were doing the Uncharted 3 thing (gave them away on YouTube) would Taco Bell let me buy just the box?
