:laugh: Sony fails... again!

Naval supremacy ftw?

That's pretty awesome...Paris has some crazy marketing. I don't know how many of you remember their guerrilla squads and their Rayman: Raving Rabids stickers.

Poor Porsches.

 

[I Saw OJ]

French people sound funny.

All I could hear in my head when I saw that guy was " Aaaaah, Ricky Bobby! Now we shall dance. And yes, it will be a slow jam. "

 

[olds]

Video won't play all the way through and it sounds like he is saying "XBox croissant croissant!"

 

[spidey07]

Wow. This is some really great marketing by MS.

I'm impressed.

1st rule of marketing = if your opponent is down, spend the money to kick him some more and get more brand exposure. Simply brilliant.

At the London launch everyone who bought a PS3 also received a free 46-inch HD television and a taxi home.

In total, the giveaway amounted to £250,000 worth of televisons to more than 100 gamers.

Sony had to give away TV's with PS3's to get sales. Might as well give away the PS3's instead!

I like this part of the article "Mr Maguire said the TV giveaway in the UK was a reward for gamers' patience. ". So they make all of Europe wait, and reward a whole 100 people to make up for it.

I would think Microsoft would want to avoid anything associated with crashing....

Did anyone bother to tell these folks that they need to go out and get a HDMI cable or some Sony Component cables? You know...since the PS3 comes with neither.
