MS has stooped to a new low

Anyone see the EA Fight Night Round 4 ads yet? I saw it at gametrailers and IGN... and it only shows the 360 case and 360 logo.

Now the game is also coming out for Ps3 and is being released on the same day. Regularly ads would show both logos and cases. So MS has obviously paid off EA to only show their case and logo..... TRYING TO GIVE THE ILLUSION and TRICK customers into thinking of FNR4 being a 360 exclusive, when in reality it is NOT.

This is a real insult to consumers intelligence. Nintendo, Sony, and even Sega (back in the day) have never stooped this low. Trying to trick ppl into thinking a game is exclusive when it really is not.

All it shows me is how DESPERATE MS is for an exclusive.

I really don't know how to properly respond to this.

I dont know whether to take you seriously or not anymore. One half of me is looking at your argument and screaming: "Juvenile Fanboy with horrible reasoning skills" While the other half is screaming "Joke thread"

Even if it is true, you show your ignorance of the business industry-- people play hardball, if Sony is going to take it, then they are going to take it. If they don't like it, then it's up to them to take action. You dont get anywhere twiddling your thumbs and being a nice guy.

Since you provide no proof for MS paying EA, your assumption goes right out the window rendering your rant completely useless.

I didn't want to explain all that, because like I said, I can't tell if this is a joke, but there it is.

Also, MS isn't tricking anybody. Nor are they doing anything unethical. If they said "Only on Xbox" then that's a different story, but if they show no PS3 box art, it doesn't mean there ISN'T a PS3 version, it just means that there is a 360 version.

I'm not surprised. Most of their E3 presentation was kind of built around that.

It's called smart business. Something Sony lacks in. They went from 1st to last in one generation transfer. Sony needs to step up its game commercially.

People...people are going along with this?

Oh dear.

I'm going to go weep for the future of humanity now.

I am just stunned at how cows are eating this up....all I can do is :lol: well maybe I should :cry: for the cows on this one.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"]Sony does this as well. Its because MS is paying part of the advertisement budget.RM84x

wtf do MS fans have?theb4x

well... on the plus side i think all the free advertising you do for sony in your signature is probably offsetting microsofts desperate attempts to trick a foolhardy public into the likely scenario of spending 300+ on a new console for a boxing game

You guys are morons. Half the people with 360's are on their 5th one already. The games suck, name one game for `09 and `10 that's actually fun. Ps3 has GoW III Nintendo has SMG 2 and new Zelda wtf do MS fans have?theb4x

Halo. Gears. Fable. Their off the top of my head. You'll say they suck, but i'll reply that yours do. Everyone has their opinion.

[QUOTE="SpinoRaptor24"]So PS3 fanboys went from "MS is paying devs for exclusive games" to "MS is paying devs for exclusive content" to "MS is paying devs for exclusive ads" (with no solid proof to back up all of these statements) TC, I don't think it is MS that has stooped to a new low.RM84x

Do I hear some desperation? How did R* screw MS over when they are releasing exclusive GTAIV DLC on the 360?

[QUOTE="Warriorboy1990"][QUOTE="moose_knuckler"]That's the case with all the companies involved in gaming right now.SpruceCaboose
