Yep, a one-of-a-kind blue PlayStation 3 is in the hands of a lucky winner.
So many participated and one finally had to win. That person was Kim G., who has received our prize: a PS3 Slim featuring a beautiful blue sheen. And because she was nice enough send along a picture of her son holding the prize – hey, that there is MAG in the background – she'll also receive a brand new copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops when it arrives (the game was her choice). To check on the final update and see the picture, visit our giveaway page . Now, don't you wish you had a professionally-colored PS3? The question is, what should we give away next…? Well, we haven't really decided but I can tell you I should have a few copies of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit to hand out, along with some Hadouken albums; these courtesy of EA for conducting that interview . But don't worry because it won't end there; we'll always find ways to hand out goodies to loyal readers.
But if anyone has any ideas, feel free to let us know. Just bear in mind that gigantic entertainment centers with 60" HDTVs and the like might be a little out of the realm of possibility…
That is one nice looking PS3! Congrats to Kim G! Good to see a female winning.
O yea great to see a female win… one who entered probably along with her son, other son, husband and anyone else in the house with an email address. Really in retrospect I should have just created a bunch of email addresses and entered them all since there is no rule about 1 entry per household.
Like seriously though I'm usually good about losing gracefully but I would have much rather seen this PS3 go to someone who actually posts on the site, who will actually appreciate it probably so much more.
I'm sorry for this little rant that many of you may not agree with but its how I feel.
Maybe have an activity based cut off for the next comment like an average of 5 posts per month since star of membership? Or something along those lines thats relatively easy for all those actually part of the psxextreme community to be able to participate in.
It's worth consideration.
That does look sweet. I'm jealous. Congrats.
The next giveaway should be a dinner date and/or a movie with Ben Dutka.
lol.
Er……no.
That would probably prove to be quite awkward.
Prize Winner – "So what do you do besides PSX?"
Ben Dutka – "OT! OT! OT!"
HA.
Not a date, but I would totally hang out with Ben.
He has a thing for McDonald's. Maybe a picnic where they have lots of trees. :p
I have a thing for McDonalds…? I wouldn't eat there if you paid me.
They don't have food.
I was kidding. See the :p for clarification. /me looks behind to see if there's a tree.

Gratz, and the system does indeed look better in real life than in the bluePS3giveaway pic.
Next time you should give away a black PS3 Ben :O
Cool Beans!
Blue is a flattering color 🙂 I wouldnt mind one of those Hot Pursuit copies 😉
That's one cool looking PS3.
The next one, whichever color is decided on, should have the PSXExtreme logo on it like the red giveaway had. The color and the logo helps make it one of a kind.
Next year, this site could do a Halloween giveaway consisting of an xbox360. That would be some scary sh*t.
It looks so… extreme! My gunmetal is nothing compared to that one… Please do another giveaway with a metallic orange PS3… although I would never win it because I'm not from the continent anyway…

Maybe we can try to swing an international giveaway. Of course, postage costs would be a problem for Ben.
what a woman won the ps3?
THIS CANT BE, this will distract her from her kitchen duties 😉
just kidding i aint a sexist! (i love women)
smaller prize giveaways wouldn't be a bad idea… anything to help out on all the good games coming this holiday 🙂
how bout smaller scale giveaways?
like a free game or new controller every now n then?

Yea I'm with booze. Especially since in theory could make contests more frequent. Regardless I'm grateful for just having this site.
EDIT: And if you send in a picture of yourself with the prize, Ben will come and pick you up in his car. (not a 350z anymore… can someone remind me what it is again?

ah thanks for the reminder Ben.
What a beautiful blue…
I'm extremely jealous
Congrats to the winner!
Yes, the promotional picture doesn't do the actual paint job an ounce of justice.
Ben can you tell us where you had that done? I wouldn't even paying x1.5 retail for that.
wow i was tired last night. I meant to say I WOULD pay x1.5 the retail value for something like that.
How bout to meet you Ben Dutka?
Pretty sure that's an intensely boring prize.
How about one that lets us watch Ben throw a guy into a tree? That'd be entertaining.
Good Idea Killa, Ben's the closet thing to a celebrity i've ever met. We'll aside from me stalking Lucy Lui.
That aside, how about we put Ben in a dunking both and the promotions can give balls to throw.

main_event05,
Not positive, but I'd say they probably had ColorWare do the colorization.
To do a PS3, they're expensive but their work is great. The price starts at $140 & goes up.
And you even can buy brand new consoles already colorized by them(just call & set up the color scheme you want.
Their 2-tone orange & white Creamsicle PS3 looks damned awesome.
You can go to the site & play around with their color scheme template to see what color designs that you pick would look the best.
You can also choose either a gloss finish, or a more subtle satin finish, & plus, either solid colors or metallic colors too.
BTW, they also do extra controllers, plus all other different kinds of electronics too.
Check out their site & all the products they colorize here…..

Pretty sure it was ColorWare, yes.
Its in German?? And of all the languages I speak, I couldn't take the time to learn it?
That is one NICE looking blue PS3. Glad to see they participated in sharing a photo. *high five* and congratulations once more.
main_event05,
OOPS, looks like someone's net-jacked their site addy.
Hold on, I'll try & find another way to ColorWare for you.
OK, here ya go…

How about a free copy of the god of war collection along with God of War III or maybe a collection of all the GTA games in one big ass bundle that would work.

since GT5 is going to be big….how about giving away 4 regular copies and the grand prize is the collectors edition.
Last edited by X_shadowkilla_X on 10/30/2010 7:32:16 PM
Definitely feel like thats a pretty big budget outlay especially in such a short time.
Yeah, just a copy of the regular version would do.
Congratulations Miss G!!!
Not winning the blue PS3 made ME blue! 🙁
Congrats Kim G, enjoy your blue PS3…
Q!
"play.experience.enjoy"
To the victor goes the spoils. Truly though, I'm happy that somebody won. Those who remember me when I was younger always trying to get a PS3 know what I was talking about. Since I finally got one though it took time and money, I just wanted anybody to win. Since I got my own, I say just offer a couple games Ben. After all, nobody has "every" game that they should… Besides, a contest means free stuff, so there shouldn't be too many complaints.
Nice Job Kim. I never thought that thing would show up. Also I think as a prize it should be a set of replica Chains of Olympus.
Come on Kim, you know the rules stated it had to be a picture of the actual winner. How does a picture of a young boy about to play a violent video game qualify?
This is great. Congrats to the winner.
I do feel it should be more PSX-ised…
Maybe have the sarcastic quips of WorldEndsWithMe and other members engraved on it 😛
🙂
