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:

@frwololo #StackYourConsoles there are some more but I didn’t want to risk hurting them. pic.twitter.com/1YgQw8Oatr — Lord Onii-sama (@kamanashi) March 31, 2015
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
