MARINA sent a message to Andrew House President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. that said:
Dear Mr House, I was trying to write to Russian office of Sony PlayStation but I could not find their email and I thought that probably my best chance would be writing to you. I would be grateful I if you could please pay your attention to my letter. I live in a small city of Russia Novorossiysk. My husband is a Gamer (with big capital letter). He has been playing PlayStation for 20 years already almost every day (and partly nights) starting from original PS1. All 11 years of our marriage the best things for him were new games and consoles - he even deprived himself of some food and clothes and other enjoyably (from my point of view) things in his life in order to get a new game (and still does!). Due to my business trips I fortunately had an opportunity to buy him new releases of PlayStation (slim ones, different colors) in London earlier than they appeared in Russia and he was always the first in our small city to have those. We had PS 3 in black, red and white colors (currently he has white PS 3 together with black PS 4 and black PS2). PlayStation is his life, his world and his dreams. From the time information about PS4 20th Anniversary Edition appeared in the Internet, I heard about this edition from him almost every day. He admired how beautiful it was and was frustrated that he had no chances to buy it because we live in Russia. And surprisingly competitions were announced in Russia he participated in one which required sending a picture to win PS4 20th anniversary edition and also answering the question why he should have a right to buy it. I secretly from him participated in answering the question why should I have the right to buy to increase his chances to have this adorable thing and expressly referring that it was for my husband. We have never won anything in our lives. And this time was not exclusive. Probably, this is our fate. Though I did believe that once those who choose the winners see our both letters / answers they would understand how much my husband loves and admires PlayStation. No luck. My husband is extremely depressed today (when winners have been announced) and I do not know how to help his tragedy (I think it is the unhappiest day for him though he tries to conceal his pain and loss of any hopes to get this PS4). I was in the office when saw the list of winners and I could not stop crying though I am myself is not a gamer⦠I just thought it was unjust in relation to my husband who really deserves itâ¦especially when I saw answers of those who won and that they were not any better but some of them even worse and less worthwhile when his answer and mine (and I personally have some suspicions about fairness of this competition on the basis of published answers of those who won, most of them are from Moscow). He is not a young man he will be 47 this year and I am sure he will continue playing PlayStation for many more years but unlikely he will have any other chance to get this beautiful edition.. and if there is still any chance to have an opportunity to buy it (for a reasonable price, not eBay prices which we cannot afford) please kindly help me to do so⦠With best regards,\nMarina, Novorossiysk, Russia
