[quote name='Chocoburger']Now repeating that over 40 over 60 over 80 times is truly insane, but no one cheated or broke the rules (to my knowledge), so no one can complain.[/QUOTE]
That's my point. We certainly took advantage of the situation, but we followed the rules and the majority of us were up front about what we were doing. I used my real info on every single form I sent in and they sent me multiples together in one envelope, so it was no secret that I was getting so many. If they had an issue, they would've put an end to it early in the promotion.
[quote name='Chocoburger'] How much profit is Langer's actually making off those people finding the best way to take advantage of this promotion? Don't they have to pay Sony for the $10 card (less than $10 I'll assume, maybe $3-$5 per card)? I don't know how it works, but if someone does know, tell us.[/QUOTE]
I don't know how it works in this exact situation, but any time I have run an online promotion to give away free games or products on the site I used to work for, everything was provided for free. Granted, it was on a much smaller scale, but it was still hundreds of dollars each time. Considering how quick Sony is to give stuff away (e.g. House Party), I'd say that Langers probably paid next to nothing for this. Or they may have shared a percentage of the profits. Whatever the case may be, it is highly unlikely that Langers would have run the promotion if they thought they might lose money on it (they are well aware that many of their products are only $1).
[quote name='eldergamer']It's slightly manipulative because you're abusing a loophole. If you sent UPCs AND receipts in, you're manipulating the system by making your purchase count double.[/QUOTE]
But is it really manipulation (in the "evil" sense) if you're following the rules? They've been doing promotions like this for a few years and they still use the same wording on their forms. After all this time, there's no way they don't know about people doubling up. If it's something unwanted, all they have to do is require both UPC and receipt.
[quote name='eldergamer']And if you've accumulated over 30 cards, that you're likely to still be using a year from now, instead of just stopping after you got the 5 or 10 that you needed, that's slightly greedy.[/QUOTE]
Who needs 5 or 10? Who needs any at all? I think it's pretty safe to say that nobody needs any number of PSN cards. If you take that into consideration, you could technically say that anybody who gets even one card is being greedy. We could redefine the word "need" and/or "greedy" to fit this situation, but even then it's still speculative. For what it's worth, I have already used all of my PSN money except for what I have set aside for Papo & Yo, so at least I had a use for them.
But now we're just getting into semantics here and I'm really only arguing for the sake of doing so.
[quote name='k1ngster']stfu, eldergamer. I sense some1 is envy with how many card other have recieved. I say good for him! No one stoping you doing the same.[/QUOTE]
No need for hostility. It's just a friendly little debate and everyone's entitled to their opinions.
