I just won. Still sitting at Taco Bell. Took me three boxes (three different days!). I work right near this Taco Bell and the employees know me from coming over time and I told them I'd keep going until I won. They're so excited for me, haha.

 

[Takao]

Basically, to win you must be a junior member.

 

[mhayze]

Congrats to The Iron yuppie.

After years of once a week visits, I've completely stopped going to Taco Hell. At this point, I would rather pay for the Vita than eat their food anymore. Once you know what goes into their food, you can't un-know it.

Spoiler

The younger me would have laughed at this sentiment from anyone else

 

[Carl]

Fuck me, the winners are crawling out of the woodwork.

SONY UK, Y U NO DO PROMOTIONS LIKE THIS?

Seriously :lol

Fuck it. Gonna grab a box tomorrow for lunch. Better pick up some toilet paper as well.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

How did so many win? Is this viral marketing?

 

[Carl]

Not really. Throw out a ton of Vitas to ordinary people. Ordinary people talk about it on facebook/twitter, show their friends how cool it is etc, their friends buy one too.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Someone win for me, I'll give you the games.

I only have one cheat meal a week and this week is the super bowl.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

3 winners already, just on GAF? Seems odd to me.

I know they claim every 15 minutes but maybe they think that if they "pay out" a lot early on that people will see the winners and be encouraged to go out and buy $5 boxes like mad.

 

[soultron]

Excuse me if it's already been addressed, but is this promotion available in Canada?

I mean, it makes sense from that perspective, but it seems like an expensive way to get the message of the Vita out to the world.

I'm going to TB today or tomorrow, at least.

No.

Marketing is an expensive thing

 

[cyborg009]

I only bought one box but using the app is way better tho

 

[soultron]

No.

I just checked your post on the last page. :c (50 PPP FTW!)

 

[Shadowlink]

Does the Vita come with a Crunch Wrap?

 

[cyborg009]

[cnizzle06]

So the only way to try to win is to buy a box? I'm already stuffed from spaghetti.

 

[Saren is Bad]

Haha, wow. Just got back from my Taco Bell. Bought a Big Box and got....a bag with my shit. To top if off I got a cup advertising the Vita promotion.

Well played, Taco Bell

This goes for all winners.

Same here. They even put sour cream in my burrito. I didn't ask for this...

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

I won a vita too! Oh my god!

But.. What now? Did anyone who won get an email? I haven't gotten anything.. Really worried. I did it on my iPod touch so I don't know if it left off crucial information on the page.

No email here.

As I understand it, they'll send a verification letter to the physical address that you provided to make sure you can receive the package.

Says it's first-class mail so check your box in a day or two.

 

[soultron]

Canadian citizens probably consume less fast food, on average, than an American citizen so I think we need/deserve this promo. Fatten us up, goddamnit.

It's gonna be a pretty anxious week for me checking my mail. I still can't believe I won this. I didn't even really want one that much. I basically went to try the Cheesy Gordita because it sounded good (which it was).

 

[pharmboy044]

Any other way of winning this besides stuffing my face with taco Bell?

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Yeah same here haha. Going to be a looooong week. I just got it because I wanted a Cheesy Gordita. My hunger for cheap food has paid off!

Thank you Iron yuppie for letting me know! I was freaking out because of not getting an email.

 

[Jason2slow]

For the winners, did it say when you would be getting your Vita? Is it before, on, or after release day (15th or the 22nd)?

Being sent out from the 8th of Feb according the the Playstation Blog

 

[polyhedralroller]

Damn, congrats to the people who won.I should try and pick one up but I'm so unlucky with things like this.

 

[GodfatherX]

tempted to give this a try tonight, but guess before i order i should make sure they have the playstation vita big box

 

[xeris]

Apparently my wife just won one as well.

 

[Slurmer]

Two attempts is enough. I'll just try the app from now on

Edit::Can I have your wife's?

 

[cyborg009]

Get and use the box to use the app on your phone for a chance or make some thing to boast funny I am currently #39 all thanks to Tako

 

[Wario64]

Another winner?

BUT WARIO SAID IT WAS A SCAM?

They read my post calling them out. No one won until today

 

[Carl]

Clever bastards

 

[Erekiddo]

She must be a junior as well.

I just got back from my lunch break, and they also gave me a $5 Buck Box in a bag. Promotions scattered everywhere, even my drink had the promotion on it, but no box in sight. Giving them a call tomorrow to complain.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

This some mad viral marketing going on here...

Fuck it I'm going tomorrow.

 

[xeris]

Edit::Can I have your wife's?

No, but I am trying to convince her to trade it for a 3ds.

Nope but I told her how only juniors, and now I guess spouses, are allowed to win.

 

[Takao]

No, but I am trying to convince her to trade it for a 3ds.

You should just give it to me then, lol.

 

[chubigans]

No, but I am trying to convince her to trade it for a 3ds.

 

[ArisenDragon]

I haven't eaten in Taco Bell in years but I might just try once to press my luck.

 

[CoilShot]

I haven't eaten in Taco Bell in years but I might just try once to press my luck.

Ditto especially since its only 5 bucks

 

[Flunkie]

I had it for lunch this afternoon and feel like shit tonight. Blah.

Spoiler

Casting a negative reputation on this contest to increase my chances. /dwightface

 

[PintSizedPurple]

Gordita mode activate!

[GodfatherX]

one question before i add some unneeded calories to my daily intake, is there a better time to try the code? I remember with the 360 give-away your chances went up exponentially between 5-6am

[Sho_Nuff82]

I just saw the LBP Taco Bell commercial on NBA Coast to Coast. Before just now, I thought it was "Vy-ta", not "Vee-ta".

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Ugh, just got back from TB. My experience is rife with red herrings and Vita cock blocking. I only decided to pull up to the drive thru due to a string of members winning one today. Asked the guy on headset whether they had $5 Gordita Vita Crunch Boxes, he said yes, but they were $6 here. Said fuck it, and ordered one. The girl handed me a Vita cup, and then moments later, a box, thankfully. I almost drove off, but decided to inspect the box, only to discover that it was in fact, just a regular "Big Box", no Vita promos in sight. Pulled into a parking spot, went inside and the girl told me they don't currently have Vita boxes and that shipments may be in on Saturday.

TLDR: Fuck my life, and fuck Taco Bell, TB are scammers, Wario redeemed :l
