Sony is actually going to market the PS4 fairly well, with no creepy babies!?

Sony to win next gen confirmed.

ABizzel13879d ago

I actually like the Potato Grillers (Potatoes, Bacon bits, Sour Cream, Nacho Cheese), so hopefully that will be in the big box, because it's the only way I'll get one. (The XXL Chalupa was also delicious, but they got rid of it. MORONS.)

UltimateMaster3879d ago

They should also market this in KFC, Subway and Wendy's.

They did Subway with Uncharted 3.

taco bell did this with the ps vita

FamilyGuy3879d ago (Edited 3879d ago )

This is pretty cool and doubt it's just a rumor, Tacobell gave out free PS Vitas around the time of it's launch. I have a friend on PSN that actually won one.

It was one of those peel sticker on a cup things. Instant prize winners. Guess I'm gonnsa have to start buying big boxes for lunch. I'd probably cry if I won one lol.

Goddammit Tyrone, get it together!

Eyeco3879d ago

Some guy on youtube posted

"This commercial is genius and beautifully done. It's a play on 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the baby doll represents the star child which, in the movie, represents the future of mankind. the PS3 represents the ominous black box that you see at the end of the film. Gah! I love it."

In that sense it's a pretty amazing metaphor, it works well as a teaser, but it really wasn't to great of an advert because of how obscure the theme was.

XisThatKid3879d ago

I understand not what the b**** is all about, Taco Bell held contests and promoted Xbox brands with no problem and the Vita thing I believe was and isolated incident. One bad promo doesn't brand it for life look at Sony's bad rep a year ago or/and two. And no TB never gave me Toco squirts but I have ate some pretty disgusting things from there.

ginsunuva3879d ago

Well they did do Vita giveaways at Taco Bell too.

lilbrat233879d ago

Yes they did and they also failed on that when their system was hacked and people were told they were winners when they were not.

Godlovesgamers3879d ago

True. Craigslist is giving away PSVita's as well. You can snag one for about $120, like new, mint condition and usually with a game, memory card or both included!

Deadpoolio3879d ago

Does nobody remember that Diarrhea dog food bell did the exact same thing with the Vita and that got so screwed up there were actually lawsuits and whatnot when the employees started stealing the codes and then Dog food bell started trying to claim actual winners weren't winners

NarooN3879d ago

LOL yes. I remember that. There was a huge outrage.

Winner: Yay, I won!
Winner 2: Me too!
Taco Bell: LOL NO U

It was the most jacked-up sweepstakes ever.

AngelicIceDiamond3879d ago

Thank god no creepy babies or creepy alien looking girl.

This is a great first marketing ploy from Sony. They need to make the message clear and to the point come this holiday.

lilbrat233879d ago

I don't know I remember the Vita promotion that went ape sh*t after a few people won it and were told they didn't win.

Guwapo773879d ago

Who wants daily mudd butt at merely a chance to win a PS4? I'm good, I'll wait till Nov 15th.

FamilyGuy3879d ago

I think you read the title wrong, it doesn't say McDonald's or Chipotle.

Guwapo773879d ago (Edited 3879d ago )

Taco Bell is a no go for me bro, I get sick every time.

Lior3879d ago

What the hell is Taco Bell? In uk?

Heisenburger3879d ago

You see, after the great food wars the only chain to survive was Taco Bell.

So every restaurant, diner, so on and so forth is 'Taco Bell'.

Simon says Be Well.

Whore_Mouth3879d ago

@Heisenburger Sounds like someone doesn't know how to use the three sea shells.

XisThatKid3879d ago

You sir Heisenburger gets +1 nice! I Loled!

Rimeskeem3879d ago

Just remember people saying the xbox one will win next gen globally is saying half life 3 will be confirmed in the next year

awesomeperson3879d ago

Well, they did hire that new marketing team. May have something to do with the lack of creepy babies this generation.

Ok, this gives a new meaning to the phrase "Run for the border"

TheUndertaker853879d ago

If so hopefully it's done differently than the Vita promotion Sony did with Taco Bell. Employees screwing paying customers isn't cool.

TheUndertaker853879d ago

Taco Bell employees were taking the codes and using them, thus invalidating codes

http://kotaku.com/5884142/t...

Later they also denied prizes, even for many legit winners

http://www.gamesradar.com/t...

Deadpoolio3879d ago

Exactly why go with Diarrhea bell after that poorly handled Vita promotion. Between the employees stealing and redeeming the codes and the actual company trying to claim that winners weren't actually winners, why go through them again? That Vita promotion was a cluster

Ketzicorn3879d ago

Did Taco Bell just give you diarrhea or something? You seem very upset about something that's not that serious.

maniacmayhem3879d ago

Time to get some Gordita crunches!

Deadpoolio3879d ago

Better stop and get some anti diarrhea medicine on your way home with that grade-f dog meat from Diarrhea bell....Maybe some Pepto also their food is disgusting

Majin-vegeta3879d ago

Oh well sux for you.They're food is awesome.

Relientk773879d ago

Omg I love their gordita crunches lol

Idba3879d ago

I bet Taco Bell will se a 50% customer increase now

T23879d ago

They need it . Arent they part of the pizza hut, kfc company ??
Hard times for them

vigilante_man3879d ago

I'm thinking of flying to the US just to eat there!!!

Double_O_Revan3879d ago

I don't think taking an expensive trip just so you can intentionally get food poisoning and diarrhea for the CHANCE of winning a PS4 is a smart move.

vigilante_man3879d ago

Ok. I just changed my mind!!

curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.

CrimsonWing6912h ago

The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.

MrNinosan10h ago

Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.

Profchaos2h ago

Monthly games, special promos like the free games during COVID or PS plus bundle on ps5 are forever yours. Premium and above are time limited

If you claim a game on the premium tier (not yours to keep) and it comes out as a monthly games later e.g. fallout 76 it appears you do not retain ownership on that one.

Notsofast1h ago

The 3-4 monthly games that are free that are part of every service are yours forever I canceled my service over a year and you never lose access. I dont know what these other comments are talking about maybe they are in a different country but in the USA I could play any game I claimed of the free monthly games

Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours

Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.

SimpleDad10h ago

Probably yes cause of a remake.

Skuletor10h ago

I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not

ApocalypseShadow8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.

Eonjay8h ago

I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.

Kingrizzy906h ago

Yes cause of the remake good thing I got the plat
And is bloodborn really that good? I never played it due to being Incarcerated 8½ years but I read the comics. It's pretty dark

Profchaos1m ago

Highly likely I also bet the remaster will be over priced and under whelming.

I'd also bet most people will simply stick with the PS4 pro and ps5 60fps patch over paying to upgrade when it offers the bare minimum.

I hope Sony has learnt from the last of us 2 and stop remastering games that just came out they have nearly 30 years of content to work with but always remaster games that are like 5 years old and don't need it.
