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.

This is really cool, also makes me realise how little gold trophies I have… only 179 :(.

Are there multiple winners, is there like a thousand winners a day for each prize? Or are there only 15 items and each day theres only 1 winner for each prize?
If theres only 15 items and only one person can win each day then BFD, so the top 15 trophy whores each get a prize, and the other 99.99999999999% get to be disappointed. If this is the case you should loose your gold trophies if you win. At least that way people wouldn’t bid ALL of their gold, auctions aren’t auctions if you don’t have to worry about paying the bill. Theres not alot of trophy hunters that would bid if they were going to loose 300 gold and drop levels, then this way the people with 40 or 50 trophies would stand a chance at winning.
I can appreciate Sony wanting to add some fun to the Sony marketing campaign, but if they’re just going to base it on who’s got the most trophies, its only fun if you got the most trophies. IMO rewarding the top trophy collectors isn’t even fair because the top trophy collectors aren’t even a single person. You know that ALL of these prizes are going to 2 or 3 groups of people with linked accounts.

I reckon there’ll be a bidding Gold total that runs alongside your PSN Gold trophy total with the former diminishing as you win items and spend shiny’s otherwise it’d be utterly pointless cos’ there’d always be the same winner(s). ;)

Awesome! I have 321 right now, and I’d bid all of them for one of those.
