WIN 15 PS Vita Games and a 16GB Memory Card... and Feel Good Doing So

Otacon

Hello fellow boardsies,

This is the first year I am taking part in Extra-Life, a charity for children’s hospitals that involves people like me sitting on my backside playing video games for 25-hours in the hopes that others will give money to said charity. They are most certainly onto a winner there!

Anyway, in order to raise some of these funds from strangers on the Internet, I have decided to give away a bunch of my PlayStation Vita games and a 16GB memory card. I may have been able to make more money by trading all of it in and using that money, but I also want to give back to an online community I admire and enjoy being a part of.

If you would like to enter, please follow this link, donate a minimum of $10 (€7.40) and include your boards.ie username in the comment of your donation. A winner will then be drawn at random using Random.org. While I would urge everyone to donate as much as they can, it will not increase your chances of being picked as that would be unfair.

On to the prize… there are 15 Vita games available (second-hand obviously so no online passes), a 16GB memory card and some random analog stick and D-pad covers I forgot I had. I have included a picture below, but the games are:

• Persona 4: Golden
• Unit 13
• ModNation Racers: Roadtrip
• The Jak and Daxter Trilogy
• Everybody’s Golf
• Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation
• Virtue’s Last Reward
• Street Fighter X Tekken
• Wipeout 2048
• Virtua Tennis 4
• Rayman Origins
• Lumines: Electronic Symphony
• Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge
• Need for Speed Most Wanted
• Resistance Burning Skies

If you have any more questions, just ask below. By the way, the closing date will be 2nd November.

How do you donate without putting in your name and tagging it to your boards ID?

Perfectly fine with me.

When the comp closes and the winner is picked, I'll be PMing the winner to get their delivery address anyway.

Also supported, fair play to you giving away your own stuff for charity.

Dozen Wicked Words

I'll donate a few quid tomorrow, good luck with it. Shame the charity benefits the US and Canada only but worthwhile none the less.

Edit: All done I think.

Taltos

Just in there now, nice and straightforward. Great idea, and fair dues for donating your collection.

Pay day today so i donated what i could. Great cause and fantastic generosity from yourself! Fair play to you Otacon!

Myrddin

Done

Ronan

Saw you were $13 off your target, so bumped it up for you.

Fair play to you for what you are doing.

Otacon

Thanks all.

Because of you, I have reached my target. However, the competition is still open for anyone else who wants to enter.

Otacon

Who would like a digital copy of Wipeout HD (PS3) or LittleBigPlanet PS Vita (guess what it is on!)? The first two people who drop me a PM get them (the first gets dibs on which one they would like).

For background, Sony have signed up to Extra-Life this year too and have offered prizes to people who join their team and raise a certain amount. These are two of those prizes but as I already have both of these games, I wanted to pass them on. While you do not need to have entered this competition to get either of the games, I do hope it encourages everyone to enter anyway.

EDIT: The LBP code is gone to Myrddin. The Wipeout code is still available.

EDIT2: Well f#ck. It looks like the codes will only work on a US PSN account. Sorry.

Nopeare

Done, best of luck to you, hopefully you get plenty more in the next week and half
