This topic is locked from further discussion.
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.
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!
Gibbo.

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? danabo
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:
[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.danaboYou'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.
he's not being sarcastic...
cows endorse any type of fabrication that makes their beloved ps3 look good...:roll:

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.Â

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:

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.

See how sony treats the "minor" europeans ?! i think europeans are cool.. apparantly SONY doesnt... says a bit much about PR eh ?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!
