I think its bullshit that Sega is leaving original PSU 360 testers out of this prize. Even if you already have a Guardians Liscence and go back and play the demo on super Sonic Demo Weekend you still won't recieve the sonic statue. You have to be one of these new testers and create a new liscence and gamertag to get it. Thats bullshit!

And keep in mind that PC/PS2 users have no way whatsoever to get one at all! Hurrah! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

It really pisses me off to sign up and be ready to support PSU on day one and not get a little bonus like that.

I wonder, if someone were to create a new gamertag, play the demo and then get a license for just one month - then cancel it, would they still get the statue...? Hhmmmm....

The only person around here that'll be able to get a hold of that statue is Maylee.. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif Cause we all know her situation. Lucky...

So you have to have a new Gamertag too? Psh.. there goes my alternate plan of downloading the demo and buying a temporary Guardians license to get the statue and put it in my room. *Pif*

This so wrong in all kinds of aspects...

I'm quite sure it's been brought to Sega's attention..I wonder what they're gonna do about it. (And for you smartasses I don't wanna hear Sega Bashing cause if you're not officially a part of Sonic Team, you don't know JACK, frankly. >:( )

Yup. You can. Im planning on making a alternate generic one, cuz you also get a one month free Xbox Live GOLD membership with a new gamertag. So it seems it might just be possible, or if they charge me instantly, I'll have ended up paying $10 for the Sonic statue... >.<

Cancel a Guardians License........and risk losing your Char and everything! Yeah, you heard me.......that's SEGA's way of treating customers! !#$%em I say, !#$%em. I'm not jumping through anymore of their Hoops. If they really do screw all of us like this not only giving those Losers! who didn't join in the begining and put up with their Crap from the start a statue, not only will they get a statue but as few of people who actually join as their will be, they will sell their statues for millions of meseta (the smat ones) and if you want it you WILL pay.... If I could I'd plant my foot up their A$$.....every one of them.....then go buy a new pair of shoes cuz those would be all bloody and #$%^y



EDIT: Every Member of SEGA/SONIC TEAMS's A$$ that is!

DarkSeph
Jan 17, 2007, 08:28 PM
.....they did this same SH!T with Chromehounds too.....at least we didn't have to pay for that those of us who played online (which was the only way to even play the majority of the game)......but they still screwed everyone the whole way.

You basically had to enter this "Lottery" every day to get a chance at 1....just 1 rare weapon and your chance of getting it was based on how many people entered for that same weapon so basically the really good ones took a week or more to get just 1 and it usually took 4-6 of them to make a decent Hound(mech).....and after 4 months of that SH!T what does SEGA do.....THEY RELEASE THE ENTIRE WEAPONS TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY!........So anyone who just bought the disc 5 months later had access to everything that everyone else worked their A$$ off to get........

Not to even mention that for some weapons/parts in the game you had to pay 1$ per part/weapon from xbox dashboard.....I wouldn't be surprised if they don't eventually do that in PSU as well

I would really like a Super Sonic Statue though, too.

At least the people on the 360 will have a chance to get the statue, those on the PS2/PC are pretty much left out of this offer. They will probably release it later through some sort of quest or something.

It's a room decoration. One that we may be able to get in the future. We have enough content still locked to give us another full year of updates or something. Shut up and quit your spazzy rants. We'll get the statue. Watching you freak out is hilarious, but a huge waste of posts.

AS a lot of you are, I am irratated also, so I thought id try and do something by emailing sega in the feedback section underneath the sonic article on the offical page.

Iv sent 2 and had 2 replies, I wont go far in to it, but the first one basically didnt answer what I was asking, but

the second one had some information in sayin currently the sonic statue will only be available to anybody who registers before the 28th.

This woman then went on to tell me that, we are all considered to be what they descibe as legacy account holders.

So I replied once more asking what exactly they meant by when they said the sonic statue is limited, because it could mean a few thing,

and then finally some good news, she replied and said AT THE PRESENT TIME, only new customers will recieve the sonic statue, and its is for a LIMITED amount of time only.

OK OK i know she didnt say that we would get it eventually, but from what she said everybody can pick out that its not limited in amount to just new customers, its limited in time to just new customer, and she said at this time only new customers can get it

This really leads me to believe that somewhere down the line they will release them properly, meaning you guys wont have to go messing around with gamertags, or pay like 5 mil for one.

Hope this helep, if need proof, i can email my email to any of you.

Well at least there's SOMETHING to work with. Then again..


Heeeeeeeeeeeey waitaminute! The statue is going to NEW players who sign up for the DEMO right?

Correct me if I'm wrong but.. don't you lose your character and all that other good stuff if you upgrade from the Demo to the actual Game?

Well, I think what the deal with the statue is that they track your Gamertag on Xbox 360 and see that you played the demo and then went on to buy a Guardiance License, so that when you actually start to play the retail game your Common Box for those characters will contain the one Sonic. I'm guessing.

*deletes flaming posts*

If you have an issue with another user, use the private message system.

As for the statue, it has been offered as a promotional item for Japanese users before. I remember signing up for a SegaLink account in Feburary of last year so I could get one when the Japanese version came out. If I remember correctly, mine disappeared during the "NOLing" incident. I don't think I got a new one after the rollback. It was neat to have, but it wasn't something I would go out of my way to obtain again.
