Scavengers Fighting Over Rare PlayStation Home Items
Recently, major retailers and online retailers alike, have been giving away PlayStation Home costumes for pre-ordering. Such as a Reaper costume and Killzone 2 costume for pre-ordering inFAMOUS or Killzone 2 from Amazon. These items were limited, and people now seem to be fighting for the items’ redemption codes on the worldwide bidding site, Ebay.
The Killzone 2 Helghast and inFAMOUS Reaper costumes were both made available if you pre-ordered their respective games from Amazon. Now, since both items have since vanished, gamers have been fighting for the costumes on Ebay. The Reaper costume sold on the site for $27, almost half of what you purchase inFAMOUS for.
The Killzone 2 costume, in which you can dress as a Helghan, was sold for a whopping $66. The game, Killzone 2, is in retail locations now, going for $59.99. That means that gamers are purchasing costumes for PlayStation Home for more than the actual game.
Stay tuned on PlayStation LifeStyle as we keep you up to date on these exhorbitantly priced Home items. Though hopefully the next ones will cost less than the actual retail games that they’re included with.

So now all I have to do is pre-order a game to get the code and then sell it on ebay and I get the game for free or keep the cash . I’ll be rich!!!

No wonder there is a financial crisis in America. People not smart enough to use credit wisely. Wonder how many parents will yank credit card access from their child’s PS3. I bet PayPal and Ebay are just exstatic about this.
This is why I stick to what is offered in the Home Store as FREE clothing and then pay for other items that are less then $1.99 if I like them.

If the person has disposable income, and wants it, good for him.
To each his own.

I don’t even know what to say to that. Had I known they are so desired, I would have sold mine off. really ain’t that serious.

Actually I told my friend I’d give him a PSN card for the Home costume for the Helghast. He thought I was serious and wanted it and I was like “yeah right”.
He finally gave it to me for free and it was expired. Oh well, the Cole costume is better.

Damn, i had both costumes and used the codes. Neat, but i never thought to sell them, let alone that they’d be worth that much on Ebay.

Amazon now has any and all pre-orders that give free Home costumes… I bet if these guys called up Sony and were like “I’d give you guys 20 dollars for a working Helghast costume” everyone would win!
