Ben-DutkaNo, it wasn't a mirage. We swear. But it did take a "Titanium Blue" PS3 included in an upcoming Japanese Gran Turismo 5 bundle to kick us in the butt as a reminder.
So yeah, we're gonna give that bad boy away. Bear in mind that although you see a picture of an old "fatty" PlayStation 3 model, the one the winner will receive will be a current 120GB PS3 Slim with one controller; exactly what you would get if you bought it from a store. …well, except it'll be a gorgeous Metallic Blue color. The 20 finalists have been selected; check the updated giveaway page to see if your e-mail is there. If it is, you should already have received an e-mail from us, informing you of your finalist status. Please respond to that e-mail with the requisite information, and you will be entered into the final drawing along with the other 19 lucky gamers. If for whatever reason you don't see that e-mail and your address is listed on that page, contact me at bdutka[at]psxextreme.com.
Just remember, you must be at least 18 years of age and a US resident. Also, if you are a finalist, we must have your information before August 31 to be entered for the final drawing. By the way, if you win, you'll have the option of a free game, too. To get that free game with your snazzy blue PS3, all you have to do is send us a picture of you with your prize. If you don't feel like doing this, that's cool…just no free game. 😉 Good luck!
Wow I didn't know you have to be a US resdient for this. There goes my chance.
I guess Arnold finally finished painting it.
hahaha
i guess there is a mistake because my email is not on that list 😛
Goddammit Ben you're a funny man! You needed an announcement of a titanium blue PS3 with GT5 to remind you of the competition? The countless member comments throughout the years was not enough?

Congrats to the finalists, thou seems kind of unfair that one of the requirements is being a us resident.
Well you can always pay for the shipping cost 🙂
Oh I would pay for the shipping to me in Canada no problem! I'd even throw in a $5 tip for Ben! And don't worry, the Canadian and American $ are pretty much even these days!
I'd be glad to pay for the shipping cost. I got mah psp from ebay so I had to pay shipping cost and custom taxes.
Congrats but dang it!
Best looking ps3 in existence!
If you all do another one make it a "phat" and not a slim ps3.
And how would we do that…?
I think the "metallic red" one they gave away a few years ago was the sweetest looking PS3 prize so far…..

Ben you could feed the slim some Macs 😉
Congratulations to all those that got through. I wouldnt expect them to pay the postage to Europe so it makes sense.
Anyhow I dont come here for a free PS3 if my name is drawn lol I come here cos it's the best informative site around, easy on the eye and some good people on here and not that many idiots if there are they come and are gone again. 🙂
I was starting to think you guys were just too lazy to take that down.
Hahaha This was not what I expected when I came here this evening. I just got around to playing with my last prize(ModNation Racers).
How many of those addresses are no longer in use? I mean, The earliest mention of this giveaway is February 2008, back when we found out the finalists for the Red PS3. I know I've changed my primary email address since then.
Look, I even found the article: https://temp.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/2665.html
(I really don't remember posting that back in June though. I'm gonna go with… it wasn't me.)
If PSXExtreme is able to give one of these blue ps3's away, does that mean it will be available in the US for purchase? Or are y'all giving away a Japanese bundle?

No, it's just a regular PS3 Slim, but colored by pros.
They do your cars too Ben?
Congratulation on the people on that list.
To bad I an't on it. I been waiting to find out for at least a year.
I hope blue PS3s make it to the US for purchase at one point.
Is there any way to get the GT5 bundle if you live in the US?
Congrats finalists! Although it seems no one present is a potential winner. Hehehe…and no suspects a thing…my plot…is…flawlessly flawed.
Ben, what happened to the original Blue PS3 fatty?
There really is only one possible answer.
It lost weight.
I guess the only answer is… the competition was up before the blue ps3 to be given away existed 😛
