Mm: no more free woolly Sackboys News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

6 May, 2009

Media Molecule has ended the woolly Sackboy giveaway that offered literally everybody in the UK and Ireland a free plush toy.

The first 5000 subscribers to the LittleBigPlanet YouTube channel will receive the woollen Sackboy while the following 3000 runners-up will have to make do with an LBP t-shirt.

"Due to the popularity and amazing response the giveaway has now closed," the channel informs subscribers.

"But don't worry if you missed out this time - keep checking the page as we will be offering many other giveaways this year."

The channel still offers a round-the-world trip to the person who can create the best real-life landmark or location within the LBP world. This competition is open to UK residents and they need to upload their entries to the LBP YouTube page before 29th May.

So they were offering 60 million free things and were surprised that more than 5,000 showed interest? What the fuck?

I think when I signed up there were about 2,000 subscribers. Don't know though.

If any of you feel that your life is not complete without one, you could always knit your own.

You hear that?

That's the distant roar of 5000 sackboy auctions being posted on ebay.

"Subscribing to our page before 1st July 2009 entitles you to a free woolen Sackboy." YEAH WELL I DID!

Stop putting out mixed messages as theirs nothing worse than fans feeling deceived

@Sevqa

They're free. Tough shit if I or you don't get one, but I understand your annoyance about the claim of signing up before July 1st, but if you'd read a little more on the YouTube page, it did say only 5000 available.

I won't be putting mine on Ebay though.

edit:If i get one that is :-)

As a blind person I decided to see if they'd send one out. I was curious as to what they're like. Are they human? Either way i'm guessing i'll never find out. My partner had the game but we took it back as she found it difficult to control.

They always said that there weren't more than 5000. Have a look. "Well, ok there aren’t that many to give away (5000), "

Due to the unfortunate combining of "Maggie" and "Wang", I won't be clicking the link...

This giveaway was nothing to do with MM.

It was Sony who organised it.

I heard about this but didn't bother. I bet the T Shirts are all medium too, as I won one at Gamestation once and it doesn't fit.

So not only did I get hoodwinked by gushing media reviews for the arsebag of a game, I went and spanked myself further and lost all self respoect by applying for a free toy that I'm probably not going to get now. Well they can shove it up their arse and fuck off while they're doing it.

I'm off to cut myself.

Where they'll promptly delete the creation for not being original.
