SCEE's Risky New PS3 Marketing Ploy

September 10, 2007 in News comments 9

A recording of a Playstation 3 System in action in a UK Blockbuster shop shows the Xbox 360's top title Halo 3 being the trailer shown on the display monitor. A new marketing scheme by Sony that only hit one shop (^^) or just a general mistake by the Blockbuster boys? I'll leave you to cast your vote.

Taken from a Blockbuster store in the UK. It's a bold marketing approach, even by Sony's standards.

    That's just the pizza faced teenagers behind the counter putting the wrong demo dvd in the PS3.
    It's definitely not Sonys new marketing ploy.

    I love that trailer. And yeah, a practical joke I would guess, although if Halo 3 went to PS3 I would actually sell my 360 right now.

    Would be hilarious if he turned the camera off expecting to see the Xbox 360 logo after the trailer and it came up with the Playstation 3 and sound effect.
