A fake Playstation 3 (PS3) display at a Harvey Norman outlet has left the retailer red-faced, after pictures of the bodgie setup spread virally across the web. Sitting atop two posters advertising Harvey Norman's PS3 pre-order program was a printed photograph of the console, stuck to the front of an Xbox 360.
A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment, but Sony Australia's Adrian Christie described the Harvey Norman display as "alarming news".
He said Sony had been in contact with Harvey Norman, which confirmed that the display had since been taken down.
"It was sort of an overzealous merchandising mistake, he [the store's proprietor] explained to me," said Christie.
But Christie defended Harvey Norman, explaining that the retailer was in no way attempting to deceive customers.
"The display had been up 24 hours and they were using it as a playback device to show Harvey Norman ads," he said.
"I would have a really big problem if they were in any way deceiving people by pretending that it was PS3 content."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
i read the article and i find it very funny but understandable that this would happened.if you look at the the commercial Sony runs you never really see the games just system ,its dumb .i think the reason is cuz they know the games there self aren't anything new just the look of the system.
Remember when the 360 was launched in Australia? They were soo excited with the system they went onto a beach and wrote about XBOX 360 on it in huge letters. They took to the 360 like bees to honey but whats going on here? Instead they are covering up the 360 with a PS3? Then they go ahead and support blu-ray over HD-DVD to me aussies have always been that bit unusual in a funny way I have nothing against them I like them but unless they felt it humerous to make fun of the PS3 by doing what they did I will never know nor understand.
"It was immediately obvious that the display was a fake."
What??!!! Are you telling me that cardboard image of that PS3 is fake, how in the world did they know??
everyone knows that sony now wants to be like microsoft but i never figuered they would put a wolf in sheeps clothing!
Aussies are so smart!! They have finally found good use for the 360. The 360 makes for a great display holder; genious!.
