About the PS3 Giveaways

Just wondering, will it always be only for US residents or will we (in the PAL Region) have a chance of subscribing too?

I know the answer to this as I have asked before

Due to US legislation the competitions hosted in the US can only be won by US residents. A shame if you ask me but it's nothing PSXE can change unless they know of any loopholes by calling it a gift rather than a competition prize

I see, maybe they can do what mmorpg.com does. (Don't ask me how they managed to let non US residents win, as I dunno

)

This is how it works there: you have to register to their site and about every month you have a chance to win something and a higher chance if you are a frequent visitor to the site, as long as you enter the competition of course.

It's almost the same way how it works here (except for the registration to the site) and even at mmorpg.com prizes are more competitive than here.

A guy in my home state won one of the ps3's a while back. While its true that i dont own a ps3, at least i dont live where he lives (lol) so i think its a fair enough trade off......
