this has to be one of the most blatant rip-offs i've ever seen. not really gaming related, but it's definitely fuel for the lemming camp :)

Everyone copies everyone. I don't care if it means better products.

That's pretty funny, though all companies copy from eachother. Either way this has no place in SW. Should be off-topic.

If you think coloration can be considered copying. I mean ipods are music players and those are cameras...

This is pathetic IMO.

What a lame thread. Now no one can use color on their products without it being a ripoff??

If anything, Apple is probably happy they copied that picture. They know that they're doing their advertising right. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

you blind? it's not that they copied the coloring, it's that they compied the coloring ALONG with thePHOTOGRAPHICAL COMPOSITION. the arrangement of the products + their exact colors? that's copying. unless, you're blind, i dunno.

anyway, this doesn't count as sony gaming department copying.

heh, i wouldn't expect system wars posters to be too inclined artisitcally -- just look at the sigs some of them make :)

this is an endemic problem with sony, it bleeds through all of their divisions. but i agree, perhaps this doesn't belong in sw, alas - i cannot delete it so i guess we'll leave it up to mod discretion.
