Thats what happens when fanboys run the store instead of people who want to see the customer get whatever system fits them best. I'm suprised the 360 side did not include getting cancer and setting your house on fire.

LInked in the same article:

 EUROPE AT WAR: HORSHAM GAME HAS GONE TOTALLY INSANE
This is the most incredible display of PS3 pre-order desperation yet. We can't stop looking at it. It's beyond belief. It's beautiful yet terrifying.

It's the Horsham branch of GAME attempting MIND CONTROL:



HORSHAM GAME IN PS3 MIND CONTROL SHOCK

SAYS THE SPOTTER: "It's official - the PS3 is cheaper than the combined price of two more expensive things. It's certainly food for thought."


IF YOU WORK FOR GAME IN HORSHAM:
Please seek some sort of medical or psychiatric care, or at least take a week or two off work to relax and calm down a bit. It's really not that important.


PLAY.COM IN PS3 FIRE SALE HORROR

IN OTHER NEWS: Play has started giving away free games to try and shift its clearly massive "launch allocation". We can only imagine the amount of horrified realisation that is dawning in retailer boardrooms across the country right now.

 EUROPE AT WAR: BLUEWATER GAME RESORTS TO 'THE OLD SUM TOTAL' TRICK
Look, we're not 'all over' Xbox 360 or anything, it's just that Microsoft is doing such a solid, unremarkable job of it all that there's nothing to hate.

Unless you work for GAME in the pikey shopping hell of the Bluewater Centre, that is, where they're assuming people 'know about' and 'care about' HD movie formats:




PS3 in Bluewater lie shame

Well done, idiots. You've made the one console people might actually be able to afford and want to buy sound a bit rubbish. So you won't sell anything at all now. When did shops start being biased about the things they sell?

I have to say i was going to get ps3 here in the uk in 10 days on release ( and by the way, why the frig do we have to pay more in the uk and wait the longest for freaken hardware - uk sucks) but also... they are removing a chip on ps3's as far as i have heard which means we cant play alot of old ps2 games and as far as i know they are only removing the chip for consumers here in the uk.... i mean what the hell?? who decided that? im now a converted x360 owner and proud!

It's about time that a store decided to go Pro-PS3 vs what many American stores are... Pro-360. The only thing I see wrong with that sign is that it states that the PS3 will play "all" PS1 and PS2 games... when it wont play all PS2 games. Other than that...the list seems legit. I know that System Wars is flooded by Xbox fans... but I'm personally happy to see a store take the PS3's side for once.

I don't think any store should have a right to take sides with consoles, just let the consumer/customer choose. I have yet to find an XBOX 360-biased store.

this reeks of desparation on their part..

if the ps3 is doing to badly it has to resort to this just to try to stimulate sales this really says a lot about how badly the ps3 is really doing...

they can try to justify the "value" all they want, but the reality is one has a ticket of $399 (USD) and the other is $600 (USD).   That's the only value consumers will notice.... as proven by the really poor ps3 sales...;)

interesting marketing tactic tho... this should increase their ps3 sales from 4 units to 5... :lol:

:| 360 does 1080p over VGA. The PS3 does not "play games better than a top spec PCs" 360 has a built in wireless receiever. The 360 is cheaper. PS3 costs less than a top spec PC and a Blu-Ray player.. it also costs less than a trip to the moon. There are so many things wrong with those adverts, it's beyond a joke.

They are doing that to sell PS3's. By the way, while they were at it, why didn't they add the 360 has a 20% chance of killing you in your sleep each night :roll:

This page cought my attention more

They may be trying to make the 360 sound worthless compared to the 360, but their rant against the PS3 itself is way over the top.

The 360 can do native 1080p. They said that the PS3 was cheaper than a top spec PC and a Blu-Ray player by £1275.

SOURCE

"While games released for the Xbox 360 have up until now supported 1080i resolution, today's information from Sega marks the first time a title has been confirmed for the console to include native 1080p support. Microsoft previously announced support for native 1080p games and movies in its October 2006 Xbox Live update."

yeah,more b.s. and half truths. they should include the fact that the ps3 comes with last gen,heck even 2 gens ago cables. for t.v. hook up...and no headsetTHEKING1337
$15 for HDMI Headset = Bluetooth. So if you own one with your phone, you don't have to pony up for some proprietary trash that MS offers. Argument defeated.

:| You defeated your own argument? The advertisments were full of BS and half-truths. If it said "PS3 doesn't include HD cables or a headset but you can use you're mobile phone headset plus it won't really play all of your old PS games" then you may have been on to something.

$15 for HDMI Headset = Bluetooth. So if you own one with your phone, you don't have to pony up for some proprietary trash that MS offers. Argument defeated.

:| You defeated your own argument? The advertisments were full of BS and half-truths. If it said "PS3 doesn't include HD cables or a headset but you can use you're mobile phone headset plus it won't really play all of your old PS games" then you may have been on to something.

Did you read the ad? I don't see them mentioning anything about HD cables or headsets under the PS3 column.

I have to say i was going to get ps3 here in the uk in 10 days on release ( and by the way, why the frig do we have to pay more in the uk and wait the longest for freaken hardware - uk sucks) but also... they are removing a chip on ps3's as far as i have heard which means we cant play alot of old ps2 games and as far as i know they are only removing the chip for consumers here in the uk.... i mean what the hell?? who decided that? im now a converted x360 owner and proud!

[QUOTE="-uHuRu"][QUOTE="danabo"][QUOTE="-uHuRu"][QUOTE="danabo"][QUOTE="Telekill"]It's about time that a store decided to go Pro-PS3 vs what many American stores are... Pro-360. The only thing I see wrong with that sign is that it states that the PS3 will play "all" PS1 and PS2 games... when it wont play all PS2 games. Other than that...the list seems legit. I know that System Wars is flooded by Xbox fans... but I'm personally happy to see a store take the PS3's side for once.

You're being sarcastic, right? Both lists are pure BS. I don't mind if a shop wants to try and sell me something, that's what they're there for but when they're blatantly lying (false advertising) it's time to contact trading standards.



the only thing wrong on that sheet is the full backwards compatability, and it will soon be full bc.

every other thing there is true.

:| 360 does 1080p over VGA. The PS3 does not "play games better than a top spec PCs" 360 has a built in wireless receiever. The 360 is cheaper. PS3 costs less than a top spec PC and a Blu-Ray player.. it also costs less than a trip to the moon. There are so many things wrong with those adverts, it's beyond a joke.



1. that is upscaled 1080p not native.

2. agreed.

3. agreed.

4. they never said 360 was more expensive. they are just comparing 360 to match PS3.

Virtua Tennis and NBA Homecourt were confirmed to run at 1080p.... Google it....

I work for WHSmith - so far we've had just a single PS3 preorder in our store- but we're trying our best to get preorders- apparently either demand isnt that high or this a huge supply of consoles because Sony guarantee a console per preorder. right now we are still taking preorders & its quite a high priority. if u ask me i dont think the PS3 is doing aswell as thought- pre-orders obviously havent been that high despite the hype & a lot of shops are doing their best to try & get sales.

yawn....this argument is old and boring.  i find the claim that stores are pro-360 pretty funny.  just because they stack the boxes up and sell more 360s doesn't mean they're biased.  must be the lighting in the stores are mandated by bill gates himself to make the boxes appear more attractive.

Both list isnt BS...The only i see wrong on the list is about PS3 full BC...why are lemming gettin mad over this?? because they are tellin how it is?

Maybe the title? maybe the part where they say "this is living"? obvious PS bias in a place where there shouldnt be any
