No, the consolation prize may not be chosen first. There are like 8 millions games, if the same winners pick the same game there are many more to choose from. Also, it does come across as very greedy. We are trying to offer something unique that might also save some of the site's precious monetary resources to pay things like bonuses to our staff. Making a trainer doesn't cost us $700 from Valve plus $200 shipping to Vietnam.
I understand your point about you're looking to save money, and I didn't know that consolation prizes could be as much as $200 for shipping to some countries.

Try as much as $700 shipping on one of the monitors we gave away last year.

$700 for shipping... That's crazy, but I can believe it because of the weight and size.
If won and the winner didn't have a game to train in mind or one to bring back from the retired list, would the prize be able to be put on hold for the winner for X time until there was a game they'd like a trainer for?
Sure, no problem.
