Another dumb marketing move by Sony...

http://ps2.gamespy.com/articles/716/716879p1.html

Thoughts on this? I thought the squirrels were pretty stupid but compared to THIS? ❌

Theirs more dumb stuff that their doing.

You know that Sony is thinking of putting some stuff in each PS3 CD so that you never rent, borrow, or buy used games? Once you play the CD in your PS3, it can only work on that one.

I read it in my local newspaper. And it's not a rumor anymore, I guess. Sony actually DOES have the technoligy, and their considering doign it.

I think that if they do it though their sales are gonna get screwed.

Um...I'll check SFchronicle.com and see if theirs a link to the article.

I don't think they care about their sales, to be honest. They certainly are acting like it, between how much the games and system will cost, and then this.

Meh, I no longer plan on getting a PS3.

wow racial? that's hilarious, i looked at the picture and was reading the article, i didn't see anything racial untill it mentioned people being offended. the only reason they find it racist is because they are still afraid of racist people or are a little racist theirselves.

I dont think they realize that once this actually goes super public no ones gonna even BUY the console itself except for the hardcore Sony fans.

SONY is acting very ignorant and are only gearing their system to the hardcore fans. I for one cant wait when the system launches because I am eager to see if this will actually sell.

Legaia 3 had better not come on PS3 or imma KILLLLLLLL

While plenty of people in the States can certainly take offense to the campaign, remember that it's their European campaign. There aren't a few hundred years of slavery-racist history that people pretend they'd rather forget while bringing it up every chance they get over there.

Frankly, the whole controversy is a bit silly if you ask me. If the people up in arms over this actually wanted to make everyone forget about those days, why are they making a big issue over it?

Plus, if both women were white and one was wearing white clothes and one black, there'd be no issue. If the campaign was in the reverse, and the black woman "dominating" the white, there'd be no issue, either.

Don't get me wrong, I don't approve of slavery, but if people actually wanted to move on from those times, the simplest course of action would be to move on.

The only thing I see in the add is that we will soon see a white version of the PSP. Just another example of the media blowing things out of proportion.

omg, you didn't read all of it. it's explaining how people are offended by the ad in thinking it is racial

whats wrong with that advertising campaign? if it was a black person in the white persons situation no-one would kick off about it. the thing for me with racism and rights is that if the black person is in teh uncompromising position, its wrong. other way round? who cares. equal rights? it shouldnt matter who or what is on the picture, they're humans. the models themselves had no problem with it so why should we?

If the ad said 'WHITE POWER' then I would call that racist but it says 'Playstation portable white is comming' so scratch the slogan out. Second I see to people one is black and the other white, when I saw the ad the term 'racist' never came to mind and still doesnt after reading the article 3 times already. Like I said, only the media would give it a bad image.
