Lol, this is pathetic.

http://www.gemaga.com/2008/01/02/walmart-markets-playstation-3-controllers-as-xbox-360-controllers

sony probably paid off some walmart employees under the table to put the controllers in an xbox360 box-thing to help em sell better....

*EDIT* I understand that sony was (most likely) not involved in such a laughable marketing attempt, and that this is (most likely) just an error by some Wal-Mart employee who doesnt know anything about gaming. I Have to put this here because some people seem to think that i am serious....

I doubt it is sony's idea. I bet someone just came into the store and did it as a joke.

Sixaxis controllers are constantly on best seller lists at places like Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and others. What exactly is your point here?

Well...maybe Ohio State grads.

Seems like the person that put the controllers in there just didn't know the difference between the two. Not that hard to believe. The Wal Mart near my house has it right, though... I just went there the other day and saw the same display, only correctly laid out. Really dude, you're making a Mt out of a molehill.

You want to talk about bad marketing? How about MS marketing thier game system in Japan with a name that translates into "Bad box". Really smart.
