Sony Build Giant Sand Playstations

August 14, 2009 in News comments 17

What better way for Sony to advertise the Playstation 3 and PSP than to build a giant-sized sculpture of them? Actually, there are probably many better ways to advertise their products. But at least this one's pretty inventive.

Donghae City was the held the first Korean Invitational World Sand Sculpting Championship. What does this have to with video games? Sony Computer Entertainment Korea showed up and joined the sand sculpting fun.

That’s what SCEK made and they seem quite proud of it since they sent out a news bulletin reporting their marketing stunt.

    What a waste of time, it'll be back down to nothing in no time anyway.

    Now, if those sand sculptures were small scale models to buy in the store however, I'd get one.

      My sis has seen these things only not PS ones and they add some sort of ingredient that makes them almost like concrete.
      Just looking at them, they look more like they are made out of concrete than sand.

      Building things out of sand is never a waste of time

    Cool. I think, with summer's end being just around the corner, they probably could have done something like this a little earlier though xD

      Good for you. You blatantly proved your heterosexuality by shoving it in our faces.

      Damn, comparing those to my childhood sandcastles....I shall now walk in shame.

      I'm not sure if it's possible to kick it down. I'm afraid that it's very hard and I'll hurt my big toe

      Oh wait, I'll just shove the women into them. That's why their there
