The good old Daily Fail, never shy about its ignorance when it comes to videogames. You see, despite taking any opportunity it can to talk about the “sick filth” that is violent videogames, The Daily Fail seems to have very little understanding of them. This is exemplified when the British tabloid lists a Sega Megadrive among the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii as a current game console.

The headline reads “1,000 Free Game Consoles: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Sega Megadrive, Wii, and more …” Yes, only Daily Fail readers will have the opportunity to win a Sega Megadrive! Or not … there is no Megadrive on offer, just that Blaze plug n’ play machine with 20 old Genesis games on it. 

This contest offer is also right above a headline that talks about babies being beaten to death. You can expect The Daily Mail to combine both stories by tomorrow morning. Because it is a rubbish newspaper that doesn’t understand anything it talks about.
