Why did the event suddenly get postponed? That's because Macca's (what Australian's call McDonald's) hadn't gotten permission from Sony to use the custom controllers as a prize. Macca told Press Start [↗]
“Sony PlayStation has not authorised the use of its controller in promotional materials related to the proposed Stream Week event and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. McDonald’s stream week has been postponed and Sony PlayStation controllers will not be included in the giveaway.”
