You Cows are so unbelieveable. Had this been the other way around, you'd be praising Sony for this and talking about how "ZOMG Sony is uber pwning MS at teh Xbox 1.5!"

Since when did you Cows become moralists? :?

Actually, Microsoft's little games are quite welcome in my opinion. Not quite on the level of "Genesis does what Nintendon't!", but it's nice to see this rather than some boring PR.

[QUOTE="SumerianDaemon"]If i were Bill Gates i would be extremely upset with the ones that did that because firstly they ruin the companys image(to serious people) AND most importantly they might even make other people think better of Sony or the PS3lowe0
Puh-lease. Look at how the Xbox fans are reacting to this - they love it. I find it absolutely hilarious. For better or worse, this is the new marketing - stepping outside the normal channels, bringing consumers into the experience, and disrupting opposing messages. Call it immature all you want, but it's very effective, and it's not going away.

And the non-xbox fans?

I should have known something was up when I didn't hear cows mooing about how the PS3 sold out across Europe. Before, they made it sound like European buyers were the cavalry. Guess not.

You pretty much own yourselves Xbots when you post such material for the company you support...

I havent seen such an immature behaviour from a $billion corporation.

If i were Bill Gates i would be extremely upset with the ones that did that because firstly they ruin the companys image(to serious people) AND most importantly they might even make other people think better of Sony or the PS3

Anyways these things prove that M$ is in a really bad position and that it fears the PS3!

They know better than their fans whats going to happen;)

Funny stuff. I for one appreciate the creative PR campaigns. Heck, I think it would have been hilarious if the Microsoft boat would have been a pirate ship flying a 360 flag and a band of nerdy pirates attempted to board the PS3 boat.

I love it too. It shows some competition. But still have a laugh about it.

[QUOTE="DrHyde"]Wow, I knew M$ was devious and pretty contemptible, but immature too eh? Oh well. palaric8

That's capitalism. Get used to it. Microsoft did nothing illegal. 

That's stupid.they were trying to be funny,failed miserable.

I thought it was funny. So I guess they didn't fail miserably.

Sony and Nintendo wouldn't go that low,

Are you f'ing kidding me? Sony said that the next gen didn't start till they say so. If you don't see that as low, you are blinded by your Sony brand loyalty. Sheesh!

The PS3 French launch was appearantly = total floppage. The funny thing is Microsoft seemed to enjoy it.

Check the story here  http://www.n4g.com/News-31467.aspx

 

It seems M$ people handed worn out PS3 fans chairs with a link to this site :-

http://www.shkyw.org/

 

so funny, it looks like Next-Gen war = No holds barred.

hamidious

 

Hehehe. I luv it. It just reminds me of the launch of the original Xbox. An armada and I mean ARMADA of cows were bashing the lemmings w/o mercy. Lemmings couldnt make a thread w/o 20 cows jumping in the thread and mangling the lem beyond recognition. Payback is such a *****.  "Sony.....your LATE"  :lol:

Sony were smashing 360s at the German launch party, that is way lower than anything MS have done (which I found the Beer and the Boat pretty funny)

Well, I'm not sure MS is so concerned about losing the whole 40 people who showed up for Sony. The audience wasn't the crowd - it was clearly designed to be photographed and blogged about around the world, as a publicity stunt. Why else would it all be in English?
