#StackYourConsoles contest: and the winner is…
Wow, people… for something that started as a joke, I surely wasn’t expecting so many answers.
I’ve received close to 100 entries for my stupid contest, asking you guys to stack your consoles (literally), and send me a nice picture on twitter (or in the comments on the blog).
And now I face the tough decision to choose a winner. Honestly, I didn’t think it would be so hard, and I wish I had more than one $20 PSN Code to give away. In order to shift the responsibility away from me a bit, I’ve chosen my 15 favorite entries (pictured below), and randomized the winner out of these 15.
In general, I’ve appreciated pictures that tried to be original, the ones that made a connection with our hacking hobby, the ones that showed a true collector’s heart (like those of you who have dozens of PSVita… what’s wrong with you guys!), the ones that defied the laws of physics, those of you who had really ancient consoles, or customized gear. Again, with about 100 entries I can’t even fit them all here in a blog post, but there are lots of cool pictures and I strongly suggest people to have a look at all of them (link below).
And no, despite the unfortunate timing, this contest is not an April fool’s joke, there’s an actual winner and the actual prize is a $20 PSN Code.
Enjoy a selection of the entries we’ve received, my favorite 15:

And the winner is… @kamanashi for his dangerous-looking tower of consoles, that kind of looks like a robot. Congrats! I’ll be in touch with you shortly on twitter to send you the PSN Code.
Again, I wish I had more codes to give away, but thanks everyone for participating. You can check all the brilliant entries on twitter, with hashtag #StackYourConsoles
1st¹
2nd²
3rd³
ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz……..
Boooooring
4th lol.
I was hoping someone would have made a small Jenga set with their consoles… Oh well!
Woohoo, my picture is in the list 😀
Seeing some of these entries, I’m glad I didn’t make a stack of my consoles. I’m pretty sure my hand is not steady enough, and I’d end up with a thousand+ dollar pile of broken consoles. I definitely wouldn’t have had the guts to make that structure the winner did.
I didn’t make it 🙁 but oh well it was fun.. and I had to do some wire management anyways and clean up the stacked of dust on my shelf lol! Till next competition! For the new console!
6th
wow i knew it was rigged i never win ***
Everybody’s stacking their consoles… and here I am with only the Vita.
not even a ps3. ;-;
Well that would be a quick tower wouldn’t it? xD
Wololo’s Throne
Ahah you enjoyed my picture from what I can see! xD
Thank you btw for the contest Wololo, that was very fun! 😉
hey! where am I?!?!?! 🙂
pretty awesome stack though bud!
Ahah thank you ! ^o^ That was particularly difficult to balance the gdljjrod’s figurine. xD
Oh I’m sorry! >_< I'm sure that I forget a lot of famous PS hackers but I don't have so many consoles & LEGO too… :/ I'm really sorry… ^^'
Well at least wololo RT mine for the first time. Dang I even stack mine by gen
This was fun, and I liked checking out everyone’s stacks. Wololo, please make this an annual thing!
Congratz @kamanashi.
All those should have won
i think Ljubomir Simin entry should win, it has nice composition in his picture.
I agree on this being an annual event
Hahaha, this is all absolutely wonderful!! Great job everyone!
Dang i should have participated but forgot about it. i definitly forgot how many consoles i have lying around in storage collecting dust. This definitly should be a monthly thing wether you win something or not. REALY COOOOL DUDES!!!!
I agree with dyay-em in saying it should be a yearly thing, I missed out too, but I didn’t want to stack my 20th anniversary console
Awesome pics!! Super creative
Ill be on the 2016 stack contest 🙂
