AHHH!!! I WANT ONE! Can't get on youtube from a work PC though!

I have to hope that 800 or so people don't see your post in the next couple of hours

Fmrl · 30-04-2009, 3:10 PM

I joined this morning when the number of subscribers was about 2000 and there wasn't a mention of the 5000 limit - looks like there's A LOT of people wanting these!

gpl1968 · 30-04-2009, 3:13 PM

Thanks for the heads up. My son will be so happy.
Subscribers up to 4335.

Cool my 3yr old will love this. It is for her, honest

BTW where did you find out about this, there's nothing on the page.

BenchyUK · 30-04-2009, 3:24 PM

I really want one but for some reason, it won't let me sign up for a youtube account

Decadence1 · 30-04-2009, 3:27 PM

LittleBigPlanet Play & Help Thread

I think less and less people want a sackboy now, it's only at 4850 or so, even though an hour ago it was around 4700.

Bauer24 · 30-04-2009, 4:40 PM

Thanks for this, sent a message via the Youtube messaging system. Now there are 4,915 subscribers!

Marky101 · 30-04-2009, 4:54 PM

You never know, they might be slightly more generous and give away 5010 instead of 5000

FourthLion · 30-04-2009, 4:58 PM

Damn. There were 4,985 subscribed when I sat at the PC.
Didn;t have a youtube account. By the time I made one and got back to the right page there was 5,027. So close.

Anyone got any confirmation emails or anything like that?
I wonder if they'll let us know if we got one or not, or whether they just post it out.

This is the email people who wanted a free woolen sack boy should have got.

I wonder what stuff they're going to give away next.

FourthLion · 05-05-2009, 4:11 PM

Yay! Maybe not so unlucky after all!

sunnybacon · 05-05-2009, 4:12 PM

To be honest, I would rather have had a T shirt instead of a woollen sackboy, but I'm not complaining

EDIT: Hang on, I just checked, and I didn't get an email, even though I was the 4150th person (or something like that) to subscribe and send my details

EDIT 2: Ah, I didn't get it as an email, I got it as a message through YouTube's messaging system. Phew!

sco101 · 05-05-2009, 6:48 PM

Blimey, that was quick

Hopefully we'll get ours by tomorrow, or Thursday at the very latest.
Can't wait

urz · 05-05-2009, 9:45 PM

I got that same email although i think i was about 5200 who subscribed?
Maybe a few people who subscribed never sent their address or they are outside of UK and Ireland?

BenchyUK · 05-05-2009, 9:53 PM

Gutted i couldn't get one

cas398 · 05-05-2009, 11:13 PM

I don't believe I missed this, I've been dying for one as well

oasismark · 06-05-2009, 10:46 AM

I got a email.

Looks a quality item too!
