IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Now here's an offer to play with: Taco Bell announced today that it is offering a lifetime of Taco BellŪ food ($12,500 in Taco Bell Bucks) in exchange to the first person who agrees to trade his or her new PlayStation 3 Game Console. Taco Bell will then donate the next generation game console to the Stanton teen center of the Boys & Girls Club. Taco Bell and its Taco Bell Foundation supports teen programs nationwide through the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

"The PlayStation 3 is on every teen's holiday wish list," said Bob Fulmer, Executive Director, Taco Bell Foundation. "That's why we're offering one lucky individual tacos for life in exchange for giving Boys & Girls Club teens a gift that will keep them in the game."

I dunno $12500 worth of product for a $600 machine isnt a bad deal. You could probably sell off the Taco Bell bucks at half price, buy a new ps3 (when you can find one), and still eat a lot of Taco Bell. Also it is a very good cause that it would be going to.

12500 is far from a lifetime supply. I spend something like 6-9 bucks every time I go. At 6 a trip thats only 2000 trips, I'd easily exhaust that over the next 10 years.
