Fancy owning a piece of PlayStation history? Got plenty of gold PSN Trophies? Well, as we hinted last week, gamers can now bid on some cool real-life goodies with your virtual silverware.
The site’s getting hammered just now, but potentially you can log in with your PSN account, and it’ll tot up your gold Trophies. Then you can bid on the goodies, which are listed below.
| Day | Item | Game |
| Day 1 (7/16) | Black Hand Outfit | Killzone: Shadow Fall |
| Day 2 (7/17) | Infected “Clicker” Costume | The Last of Us |
| Day 3 (7/18) | End Scene Concept Art | PlayStation |
| Day 4 (7/19) | Dragonborn Dagger | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 5 (7/20) | Witch Doctor Mojo | Diablo III |
| Day 6 (7/21) | Crane Scene Concept Art | PlayStation |
| Day 7 (7/22) | Witch Doctor Cursed Skull | Diablo III |
| Day 8 (7/23) | Delsin Rowe’s Outfit | inFAMOUS: Second Son |
| Day 9 (7/24) | Dragonborn Shield | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 10 (7/25) | Captain Kenway’s Cutlass | Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag |
| Day 11 (7/26) | Dragonborn Sword | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 12 (7/27) | Dragonborn Stalhrim Mace | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 13 (7/28) | Witch Doctor Ceremonial Garb | Diablo III |
| Day 14 (7/29) | Helghast Sniper Outfit | Killzone: Shadow Fall |
| Day 15 (7/30) | Captain Kenway’s Outfit | Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag |
The trick, of course, is to bid tactically. If you really want something, splash all your Trophies on it, but you might want to spread out the bids across the whole collection.
Your Trophies remain in your PSN account, of course. Sadly, this isn’t open to Europeans, but hopefully SCEE are taking note and will offer up something similar down the line.
The Killzone outfit’s already getting bids of at least 300 Trophies…
Bid here.

Somewhere, Crazy Del just exploded.

My thoughts exactly :p shame about it being America only though..
Harm Rehal
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Where is Del anyway, as he hasn’t left a comment?
freezebug2
He won the holiday! :P
Crazy_Del
xD I would have them all! I think I have 635 Gold Trophies.
Shame its America only =(

Even though it’s not in Europe, I can really appreciate this. It’s awesome. Really hope it comes to Europe as well with something similar.

Something tell me that you have a lot of gold to spend ;)

Bidding is only available to users in North American territories (USA, Canada, Mexico). :(

Heck, I’d trade all my trophies no matter the colour, for some of that stuff. And some real money ontop.

Still can’t quite believe this, I never would’ve expected this to be possible, it’s pretty cool.

Just looked at the merchandise and tbh most of them I see as being fairly rubbish. Thr witch doctor garb and helghast sniper outfit look the best. Still a bit rubbish really because there are hardly any people with 500 gold trophies – a figure which you’ll at least have to have in order to make one bid let alone win.

Yeah, but let’s look at the worth of a trophy. It’s a virtual graphic that tells you “achieved” something in a game. Pretty worthless, to be honest. Sure, to the more hardcore gamer, it has more merit… potentially… but outside of that, it can’t hold much monetary value which means the items to bid on are going to be equally naff most of the time.

What’s the geographic readership for TSA? Surely, 90% of people are in Europe. If so, great title for the article! :-)
Alex C
Nowhere near 90%.

I only have 140 gold trophies this is ridiculous. They should have done platina trophies.
MaD dOctoR 79
but if you have more platinum trophies you would have a ton more gold trophies…so you SOL either way, it’s a shame it’s not just first come first served, as there is always going to be someone who has more platted games (trophy hunters, people who use guides etc)
would also be fairer if they had 3 of each item.
but hell, they didn’t have to do anything like this at all, so good look to those that get something out of it…while we in the UK look on with a slightly sulky manner.

*looks at his friends list* Crazy_Del has this locked n clocked!!!

It’ll be interesting if this is a one time thing or if they do more of these auctions. If they do, what keeps people like Crazy_Del from always getting the best stuff if you don’t lose your trophies?
Origami Killer
Shame it’s US only. Hopefully we’ll see something similar here. I’d splash all my 135 Gold Trophies on any of these!
