Last view: 5733 days 		Remember a little while ago, when Microsoft bought all the ad space on Gamespot's PS3 page? If not, you just need to know it happened. But that was just the beginning of their antics. Today, during France's PS3 launch, Microsoft took the opportunity to advertise in the domain of Sony again. They came in on their boat, sounded the horn, and let viewers gawk at their message, which subtly mocked Sony.

Check out the article here, or go here to see a video of the incident.

Hahaha. I actually found this quite funny. Especially at how blunt the banner on the boat is, and the fact that Microsoft just bursted out of nowhere. They pulled a King Trode, from the looks of it.

And I thought Microsoft wasn't as insane as Sony.

Wait, PS3 was launched today here?

...heh I should have watched the lines. Oh well. That's clever of Microsoft though.

So yes, I have 6500 reasons to not buy it.

It costs about twice as much as a console should.

In foreign cases, three times. Also, most (MOST) games out for it suck.

It cannot be compared to what a console should cost, but what it's worth. And from what I hear, its hardware is pretty spiffy. Should a console have a set price?

So do you buy consoles for their hardware or for their games? I take it you have quite a decent collection of 3DO and Jaguar games, then.

If you're going to cost more than both your competitors combined, you damn better well have some good exclusives. Currently, the PS3 has 1. Will you pay 1000$ for one game? One game that the majority of critics agree isn't even as good as a recent, similiar game for one of it's competitors?
If you weren't going to but a Bluray player no matter what, there really isn't a reason to pick up a PS3.

And, while the part about being used as part of a network for medical research is an interesting idea, I think it would be far more beneficial if Sony had developed the software for PC use, so the average person could choose whether or not to install it on their own computer.

Honestly, Microsoft is a group of geniuses. Seriously, consider that the PS3 there probably has a HA HA WE DON'T EXIST launch there, so most pepole won't get one... solution? BUY AN X-BOX 360.

Good game console, none of the overinflated price bullshit, and easy to find!

Microsoft wins.

I believe Bernie Stolar left Sega a few days after that great stunt too.
