Sony marketing: We came, we saw, we stole your junk

NO FUCKING WAY!

AHAHAHAHAHHAA!

That's the money shot right there.

I was going to post something like "Hahaha, wow..." but I was already beaten to it, by like three people. Still. Wow.

Sony should just quit right now and start doing stand up.

lmao poor sony

I'm guess some graphics design corporation just lost a major contract.

Sony should really have some kind of in house web design and PR firm. What ever they are paying it's far to much to be embarassed like this....Over and OVER!

I wonder what ever happened to the good ole' days when Japanese business men would come to America for a presentation and cancel a multimillion dollar multi-month deal because the presentation was recorded on a competitors blank tape.

Sony's entire marketing department needs to be fired. Seriously, between the horrid TV commercials, alliwantforchristmasisapsp.com and this crap, I wonder how many people over there are still keeping their jobs.

That a Mclaren F1, GT never had one. haha let look at all the stuff Sony did wrong lately. That Street art campaign for the PSP, the black white campaign for the PSP, that fake I want a PSP for Christmas campaign, They did lie various times about the ps3. Anyone remember that it would be possible to hook more than one tv to the ps3, that it would run game at 120 fps (God knows why) and the hub that isn't there that would make the ps3 the center of your network. So am I surprised that they pulling this little stunt? I sure am!

I love it

I'm still waiting to see a Sony fanboy's spin on this. Out to be just as priceless as this mess up.

nobody.

How stupid can Sony be? They havent even tried to edit the colour or anything to try and make it look any different. Did they hire a 12 year old to do it or something?

oops!

Wasn't Sony promoting Metal Slug Anthology for Wii on their site just some weeks ago?

ok, now that i'm done with the laughing..


...i'm not sony's biggest fan...but i don't think they're directly responsible. as has been stated, someone in a third party design firm probably had the job and even more likely is fired at this point.


however, i will solicit flame bait when i say PGR > GT any day.

Who out there thought that this was a good idea? Christ... if only Square would dev. for the 360...

Orcist: The fact that they have adopted Unreal Engine 3 points to Squeenix 360 happening. And remember that unnamed Square video a long time ago of prototype footage at X05, was a partnership announcement that has only seen a FF XI port so far... People forgot about that. Squeenix MMO on 360.

djomg, you so silly. It's always the exec's fault.

it's like Paul McCartney said:
(paraphrased) Good songwriters create, great songwriters steal.

Ok, guys we had our laughs, but is time to sip on the coffee and calm ourselves down.

Im pretty sure theres not an exec memo from sony which reads:

"Dear Sony employees:

I've sadly noticed We haven't got enough crap thrown at us... -this week- so in order to fix that, I suggest we post an image from our competitors game in a small webpage as our own! that will get their heads turning and the poo flingin! Sony Forever!

Love
Kaz Hirai

p.s. Riiiiidge Racer!"

Ok, guys, that did not happened. Never has and never will.

p.s. Orcist: The unreal engine also works in PS3, they already had Unreal Tournament 2007 in development before the xbox 360 version remember? So Square buying or using the U3 engine means _squat_ Maybe square is going to the xbox 360, maybe they are just realeasing crappy ports like our own FFXI (which is a MMORPG) Is all possible.

And there lies the spin.

Point is, Sony SHOULD be calling in every fucknut that takes a dime from them, put a huge fecking axe on the table and promise to cleave their heads in two if they screw up like..<cue slide show of Sony PR screw ups>

The Execs may not be directly responsible for the slip up but its their jobs to ensure the company doesn't look stupid by hiring competent and accountable people. That's where the blame lies in this continuing saga.

Somewhere a graphic designer is saying "but I found it on Google images and they all look the same to me". She's in her mid 40's and played a video game once or twice

That woman in her mid 40's is had 15 more updates to complete before she had to go pick up her kids from daycare, and she was already running late, and her 19 year old boss, all quicksilver & dredlocks, if you can believe it, was all like.......etc.
I love Crud's "It's always the client's fault..."
I wish it were so.

ps. hello? Azrael, I didn't say anything about any Unreal engine. What about my feelings?
