In true internet fashion the gaming world made their annual April Fools Day headlines.
Kotaku did something of a recap of them if you want to check that out. I woke up early for a change so I made my rounds, checking out what tom-foolery was taking place and what suckers were falling for it.
Cheap Ass Gamer had one that, while being pretty standard, offered a good satire of a company that lends itself so well to it. Apparently, the PS3 has actually undergone a price INcrease. This certainly hits the mark as being completely ridiculous, especially in all the calls for a price drop on the console, but wouldn't that just be something Sony would do? Maybe not, but there's just a glimpse of doubt there that makes you wonder.
According to Kotaku, some other
website I've never heard of ran the same joke, and it got me thinking. What if several popular sites/blogs set aside their differences and all went in on one huge April Fools gag? Someone put together one phony press release, and you had Gamespot, Kotaku, 1Up, IGN, and others all citing the same thing, and all pointing fingers at each other as the point of origin. Suddenly that second of doubt about how dumb Sony really is gets some legs beneath it.
Obviously as a pretty anonymous internet persona, I have no sway on something like this....and there might be some ethical issues there anyway. But Destuctoid......maybe? It's only a year away!
