This is why a lot of people so love Sony's marketing department: PlayStation Experience is once again deploying PlayStation trucks to numerous locations across North America. Inside these big-wheeled babies are competitions, prizes, and the chance to experience first-hand playing next-gen games in the newest high-definition TVs.

If your idea of enjoying PS3 games is cooping up in your own room, just forget that and check out the PlayStation Trucks should they pass by in your neighborhood. The PlayStation Patrol now has a whopping 25 gaming stations (per truck), with 12 of them for the PlayStation 3s and 40-inch big screens. Surely, these happy trucks will beat your own room when it comes to gaming bliss.

PS2's Singstar is also now included in the fray, where rock star wannabes can belt out their tunes at their own risk (of having their neighbors jump on them for causing too much racket). PlayStation Portable (PSP) owners can also enjoy free game, music, movies, and game demo downloads.

The PlayStation LockerRoom Challenge touring vehicle will also roam around with the same gaming goodness, as well as a "thunderous sound system", which would be very ideal for playing SingStar. But like we said, play at your own risk

Even Lems cant deny what great idea this is.

That's an interesting idea, and is a good way of getting people to buy the consoles.

Yes it was a great idea, when Nintendo was doing it 15 years ago.

That's actually a really really cool idea.

Now we'll REALLY get to see Nintendo come back with it's own marketing. They'll really start driving those little cars around and asking people "Wii would like to play."

And we can have 360 helicopters that with the blades when spinning make the 360 jump in slogan or something.

This kind of thing isn't new... :| Nintendo's done their "Street Team" tactic before, promoting their systems, and hell... any rock concert like event, or so on that you go to, or at least me, I see a few booths for video games there too.

Wii recently did such a thing it's first year it was out, from december to January.

So, instead of being cooped up inside a room, you're cooped up inside a cramped truck? Seriously, if you don't want to be cooped up somewhere, try playing a sport or going out with friends every now and then. Cool idea, though.

I would rather they don't start this until some good multiplayer games like Warhawk or something come out... Otherwise it's just going to be a lame sausage fest. :lol:

The words "sausage fest" and "videogames" are pretty much synonomous.

I'm really curious as to how this owns anybody. I like playing my video games cooped up in my apartment. I can do what I want and not worry about a thousand screaming people begging for a turn right behind my back.

It doesn't necessarily own anyone. I just thought it was funny that this was his comeback to try and undermine it.

Who knows.

But, then again, the Ice Cream trucks stole their idea off of Jesus.

Think about it.

HOLY CRAP JESUS SOLD ICE CREAM TOO?!

Seriously, when Sony is sending trucking crews to neighborhoods with PS3s inside, you know their in trouble, especially when it was the most ancipated console pre-release.

Well, Jesus sold Leprosy curing ice cream, but same difference.

But, didn't the topic creator said that Sony has done this with other consoles...?

It's a good thing Sony's finally doing what MS has already done:
