Tragically, the competition is only open to the US, meaning that those of us outside the ole US of A will just have to watch and weep as all these amazing prizes are snatched up. Hopefully if this giveaway proves to be a success, Sony will run a similar promotion for the rest of the world. It’ll also be interesting to see if Microsoft run a similar campaign and finally find a proper use for GamerScore.
