PS3 Kiosk, can you spot the 360?

Xbox360fanboy.com reports: "The image posted in Joystiq's article was snapped by Flickr user, hiredgoon. The photo was taken in a Harvey Norman store, an electronics chain based in Australia. It seems innocuous enough. Just an ordinary PS3 display to promote the machine for pre-order. Nothing special, right? That's what we thought, too. Let's take a closer look, shall we?"

kind a funny

[Marty8370]

Best use yet for an X360.Holding up a cardboard cut out of a PS3.lol

[Captain Tuttle]

Good one!

[Darth Gamer]

I was skeptical about the E3 Assassins Creed demo but if this is real, this is a new low. Hopefully only this store is doing this. I actually think this is kind of funny though.

[True Gamer]

I actually find this funny...and its probably just this store that's doing it.

[Silver360]

Like the first poster on the site said " the 360 has so many uses" it is also a PS3 stunt double. lol.

[Syko]

People must have known it was a 360 behind there. Unless this store is close to the Airport. People won't buy the PS3 in that area now because they think it sounds like a Boeing 747.

Come on Sony's I gotta get some love for that comment....

[Shadow Flare]

A 360 being used to prop up a PS3 advertisement. Can it get anymore insulting HAHA

[TheMART]

Ofcourse a trojan horse ;-)

But for real. Now people could be lied into a PS3 by showing them the best versions of multiplayer games, they come how and they get the lesser version suddenly...

Mmmhhhh how come? Right. Bought the wrong piece of hardware. You were just lied into a trojan horse videoplayer, and you wanted the gamemachine... Ouch, you should have got the 360

[kewlkat007]

I think this is funny...I guess Ausies don't have ps3 kios.

Ok moving on..

[techie]

Of course they don't - it isn't released there yet. There ain't any here in the UK either.

Tis funny though - Would have been interesting to see what it was displaying - tho could have just been a stand

[bouncybullet]

holy crap.
Someone is getting sued as we speak.
hopefully we'll get some more info on this.

whoever took these photos should've asked the manager what the deal was.

[T-Virus]

I, err, I.. I HAVE TO GO! *Squeel with laughter when running away*

[THWIP]

...that said Sony wasn't providing PS3 kiosks to Australian retailers. This is likely just their way of saying "F**k you, Sony".

[fjtorres]

Now we know how the rumors of Gears of War/Mass Effect on PS3 got started. :-)

Bwah-hah-hah!
Gotta say the PS3 is the most laughter-inducing console this generation. Thanks Sony!

[fjtorres]

...didn't the last wave of rumors about a black 360 originate in Australia? :-D

[THAMMER1]

That is just too stupid.

[super bill]

its true what this article say,s.that the 360 is real so are the grathics and the gameplay and the games.as for the ps3 its all fauls like the cell,the price,and the games.what this is saying the 360 is the real console to buy.why the ps3 is only cardboard and a waste of money.

[techie]

haha talk about reading into things! You seem a little obsessed with metaphors. What we need is comprehension, not blinded interpretation.

[DC RID3R]

sh*t!!

TheMART is right, the TROJAN rides again.

just like sony to pass off other companies ish as their own (ALL bravia t.v's use SAMSUNG lcd panels), doesn't surprise me at all!

sony are BOGUS, fake, NOT real.

GET TO KNOW

[ApocalypseShadow]

but the system is being used as a prop.it serves no function but to hold ps3's place until it arrives.sounds so PROPHETIC.

"holding ps3's place until it arrives."

[THAMMER1]

Who is spinning what here?

[Boink]

if that's the case, the why is it connected?

lol, too damn funny!

[R34GTR]

Looks like a classic case of "Out with the old in with the New". lol
And again I hate to be the one to point it out. But just imagine if that was the other way around. OMFG would the Xbox boys have a blast with it.

[nightcrawla]

that's too funny, relax people its not that serious....but worth a laugh

[techie]

Guys! They have an xbox360 running games on the shop floor to advertise the 360 since its most likely connected to a screen above their 360 section - wires can be longer than 30cm... But since its there they might as well give it a double purpose, a handy stand...hell we already know the ps3 is a handy lean mean grilling machine.

[jerseynets04]

guess the store owner really doesnt like sony...trying to trick customers into playing the 360 when they think its a ps3, that would definatly repel customers from buying a ps3, cause the 360 experience sucks.
