So I was browsing around HOME cause I got into the BETA and I stopped by at the Farcry 2 video. I watched it to the end and what do you know, it advertises for the PC and better yet, the Xbox 360.

Imagine that, a 360 advertisement (albiet the game is on PS3) in Playstation's Home.

They should really change that lol...

no, the game is on both, and they're not worried about anybody switching over like ms is lol. they can show stuff like that in home, because anybody who's played home isn't about to switch to the xbox 360 avatars.

Right, so your telling me it's okay for a 360 advertisement to be in Playstation's premier launching center? All you guys see is fanboyism, I see it as a counter-productive marketing ploy...

Only an idiot would jump to such a conclusion... What's going on in HOME right now would be like McDonald's advertising for the Big Mac inside of a Burger King restraurant... It has nothing to do with Fanboyism at all, it has to do with marketing tactics. Would you really want to advertise for something that is also on your competitors product/service?

You aren't going to see Console ads, or exclusive ads .. most likely only games that are on both .. so what's the problem?  Oh yea .. there isn't one ..

You are looking way too far into it ..

Tell me, what are trailers? Are they just there for show and show off flashyness, no. They are advertisements to get consumers to pick em up. Where's the logic in advertising something if your going to throw in your competitor into it as well?

Money .. get used to it ..

And there has been places like Burger King/McDonalds/Wendys all working together .. so don't say it doesn't happen ..

You shouldn't go around calling people names .. doesn't help your cause, makes you look pretty immature ..

It's flashiness ..

Anyways ..

Money .. what don't you understand about that?

It's like NBC advertising an ESPN show .. it's called money ..

Right, so where is this McBurgerWendys at? The only the I agree with you is yes it's about money, so why help the competition? Since when have you seen a joint effort between McDonald's and Burger King? It's the same thing as the 360 and PS3. So biet if you believe I look immature, your views on such matters are irrelevant to me anyway~

The way Sony will make money of HOME is ads right? So the devs will pay Sony to advertise their games so ofcourse they will want the game to be advertised on all platforms otherwise the ADVERTISING would be a fail.

You're calling someone an idiot .. because you can't handle what he has to say ..

Theres joint efforts you won't see on TV really .. just around your local town .. look closer ..

They aren't helping out the competition .. we all know what the consoles can do .. now it's about money .. selling games .. devs of Fry Cry 2 pay Sony to advertise their game .. on all consoles ..

Well if you had said that in the beginning a lot of this could have been avoided instead of just throwing up a 1 word reply =/ End of story case closed~

No, Burger King doesn't have a Big Mac so that wouldn't make sense. That's more like McDonald's having posters up saying french fries are sold at McDonald's and Burger King. It's not like somebody's gonna leave and go to Burger King just so they can get the same exact fries.

I understood the motive, I just didn't understand how Sony would allow it though. Guess money really does talk =/

I know but I took a look at the Force Unleashed trailer off PSN and at the end it only showed the PS3/PSP/PS2. Don't worry about it, threads already been solved thanks to 420 and and Ekoh~
