1. Your friends will love you for life for all the free food you give them.
2. No matter how down on your luck you are, you will never go hungry.
3. I know I'm being silly here, and I'm sure taco bell has some restrictions (I would assume) but you could stand around at a taco bell having people pay you and then translate that into free food and buy another ps3 when they're not in such short supply.]]>Nov 20th 2006 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/Nov 20th 2006 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/
Sell that PS3, come to Southern California (no further north than San Diego), and try some really good Mexican Food.

Roberto's
Alberto's
Filiberto's (yeah, I'm serious)
Fidel's (Solana Beach)

Crap even chains like...

El Torito
Tio Leo's

Heck, just bring your PS3 with you, I'll buy it AND drive you to all the best Mexican eateries in town!

Here's a hint dude, and be sure you don't give away the big secret of the fast food business:

it doesn't actually cost them $12,500 to make $12,500 worth of tacos.

It probably costs them about fifty bucks in cheap crap ingredients. At most, it costs them approximately the same amount as a PS3. And that's spread out over a *lifetime*, so basically from their perspective you're giving them a PS3 for about a buck a year.

And hey, ever consider that maybe the B&G club actually *wants* a PS3? The Xbox 360 has been out for a year - you don't think *somebody* hasn't donated one by now? No, these kids know the PS3 is the hot new thing, and they're gonna ask for it. You can't sub out gifts; if your kid asks you for a PS3 for Christmas, you don't give him an Xbox 360 instead. You either give him what he wants so he doesn't think you don't give a rat's ass, or you get him something else entirely and teach him the value of delayed gratification. You don't buy substitutes.

""The tacos will be awarded in the form of $12,500 in TACO BELL Bucks ($12,500 will get you around 20,000 of Taco Bell's basic tacos, or about a taco a day for the next 55 years)""

since when do taco bell tacos cost .63 cents?
um...NEVER!

and one a day? sheesh, those tacos barely fill me up at all, one! SHEESH!
more like 5 a day, so 5 a day for a 1 divided by 12,500

it would last roughly 7 years, which i suppose would be a lifetime
cause if you eat 5 tacobell tacos everyday for 7 years your gonna die]]>Nov 21st 2006 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/

Think about the exposure you will get out of this-media will want to cover you and pay you to interview ,it will be the biggest news story of the season "Person turn in their ps3 for a lifetime of tacos, donates his beloved gaming system to help the B & G CLUB" with the xposure you will get money will flow in because you can charge for your appearance no matter how stupid the publicity is its still exposure.

with the money you get you can most likely buy not 1 but 2,3,4 ps3's and still have a lifetime of free tacos.

Shit i need to buy me ps3 and juice this oppurtunity but dammit i hate fame all i want is the ca$hing.
whos with me? we can do a buddy joint venture on this.

THNK ABOUT IT

By the way this idea is patent pending.
