So you need to be drunk in order to enjoy your 360? Is that their message ?

Sad.

I think it was

Save money, buy the 360 and buy yourself $100+ worth of beer.

Cool, little stunts like this used to be more common back in the early 90s between rival companies. It's died down somewhat ever since these mega non-gaming corporations got into the business like Sony and Microsoft. I hope this childish prankster spirit never dies in gaming.

Actually it means, you can invite your friends and throw a party for the differnece in price. Everyone gets a beer and can  play games on the Xbox 360. Or you can stash the beer and drink it up alone. However I like a beer or two at the end of the day.

Yeah, I also remember once when Nintendo had rented out a golf-course for a company golf outing, Sega had littered the course with golf-balls with the sega logo on them the night before, so the Ninty guys had problems finding their own golf balls on the course.

No, it means you can't even afford beer after you bought a PS3.

Sony "our fans prefer a nice glass of warm milk" MS "why... because your console puts them to sleep?" Sony "while they sleep it cures cancer" MS "they probably shouldn't fall asleep while one of your products is turned on, didn't your laptops batteries burst into flames?" Sony "uh...yeah, cost us a lot of money to recall them all" MS "yeah... it's okay man, have a beer, it's on us" Sony "thanks... we're pretty broke with the batteries and the PS3..."
