Hellfire Games Brings The Giftinator 9000 To Ps Home

sweet mother of awesomeness. this definitely blows the Lockwood Gift Machine out of the water. Dr Evil would be proud that Hellfire Games hath given the community a LaserShark to the masses. so need a Dr Evil/Austin Powers smiley

 

Awsum sauce //__^

 

Hmm.. I'm not sure I like where this is going. Gifting basically being made into a game with leaderboards and opening up higher levels of gifting by means of gifting? Is that what everyone else takes away from this? This seems like it's really taking consumerist greed to the next level by playing on the weaknesses of gaming addictions.

Hopefully we can decline gifts like we can with the Veemee machine. Not everyone is keen on the idea of receiving.

 

Can pretty much guarantee we'll ony be able to gift really rubbish stuff at first and probably need to buy way too much to even touch the higher level stuff, it's a level of greed I've come to expect of this dev.

 

Sharks with laser pointers attached to their freakin' heads! XD

WOW! That's a great LMO, and there's plenty of good things to get.

 

Must admit I didn't watch the video, seems levelling just gives the user rewards rather than being required to unlock gifts. Not a bad idea after all. It's nice the shark LMO is free.

 

I hope include nice things and cheap

 

Omg, that shark is awesome ^-^ Lovee!

 

other than having to spend $$ to get free rewards/ level up, not a bad idea

 

I'm having a problem getting the Carry On female shirt from the Giftinator on EU Home. It only gave me the male one upon entering Home Square. Anyone know how to get it? I tried clearing my cache and reinstalling Home but it doesn't seem to work.

 

They revamped their fourm too, though when I watch posts on their threads via Safari, they completely disappear. I tweeted them to fix this.

 

When using the "Laser Shark", don't forget to check the bottom of your [R1] menu for a few additional options (seems many users haven't discovered this)!

In EU, I was also not rewarded with all the Giftinator 9000 items, specifically the "Keep Calm and Gift On Shirt (Female)" and the "Karma Glasses (Male)". Both items were rewarded without issue in NA.

Another problem in both the EU & NA seems to be with the "Valentine’s Compatibility Meter" — though quite a few of us have "won" (purportedly by reaching "Passionate Pair" status — the last tick mark before the 100% point), it seems few have actually received the reward, the Sony-claimed-rare "Valentines T-Shirt (Female/Male)". It's not that I don't believe the few who claim to have received this reward; but nobody would actually take the time to show it off to us. Then again, it is another t-shirt reward … do we really want another?

Still has a few issues, but we have to give it some time.

 

Overpriced reskinned items and looking at the high score board either some people have spent over 100 pounds or 150 euros or 175 dollars on it. Or its been hacked or exploited of course.

i read the eu home forum, hellfire notice there some freebies download issue in EU region.

 

Yeah, I've noticed those items being reskinned, so it's not all too grand to buy something on it yet. Not all too inclined buying "money" and karma points for it either.

 

Already noticed groups of users with the items hacked (obvious from them having other items only obtainable through hacks)

 

It seems to be the users that exploit the gift machines etc are having more fun on home than the users that don't exploit home and are getting away with it.
