SONY HAS A GREAT IDEA
Brilliant idea. Everyone should try this. Don’t know why we didn’t think of it before, it makes so much sense. If it was us, we’d urinate on the broken pieces to ensure nothing can be repaired afterwards.
And get a woman to do the urinating, so more people on the internet want to watch the video.
Hopefully the power of advertising will result in Sony’s installed user base mysteriously dropping over the coming weeks.

Jesus, so one their methods of making back lost cash is giving cash away and smashing a few of their merchandise? Maybe among the enormous cogs of big business that comes to make some sort of sense. Are Ant & Dec manning the phonelines or something?

Well, didn’t they lose money on every ps3 sold? I’m sure I read that somewhere? or was that just a scurrilous rumour put about by disreputable sites like, errr, this one?
Anyway, if they lose money on every one sold, maybe the logic is that if they smash them up rather than selling them, it won’t cost them as much?
Are they accepting volunteers? I have my own sledgehammer.

You’d think Sony wouldn’t need to be giving away their shiny new slim low-price console so soon after launching it wouldn’t you?
But then this is the Year of the PS3, just like last year and the year before it supposedly were. And what games are coming out this year to make it the year of the PS3?
GT5- delayed
God of War 3- delayed
God of War Collection- delayed
The Last Guardian- next year
Final Fantasy XIII- oh dear, not exclusive anymore
Tekken 6- oh dear again
Every other game is multi-platform, except for that pre-op Lara Croft wannabe game they’ve just released. I’d be chucking my PS3 through the screen too.

Not much of an insurance job if you film yourself doing it. Can’t even get that right, Sony?

If only Sony’s advertising strategy was this poor during the DC Vs PS2 era.
Basically, what they need to do is compare playing the PS3 to getting a tit wank from a Page 3 girl. That aught to reach their target audience better than your standard pretentious, arty, overplayed slow motion smash shit up ad. On second thoughts, I don’t want to help Sony out. Ignore my advice. Carry on as usual.
Sega can use the idea, though. Maybe design the DC 2 in the shape of some giant boobs?

Dearest Zorg,
Why haven’t you mentioned the fact that Ant & Dec are working for Nintendo now so we can all feel better for having hear it from a semi-official place which people at least pay more attention to than our own individual outburts of laughter/anger at the TV? Have you SEEN their new hyper-accesible website enjoynintendo.com? This whole Ant & dec driven ‘Enjoy’ campaign is the equivalent of fitting a disabled ramp onto the Wii, but instead of helping diasbled people, this is helping idiots to understand why they might want a Wii. It’s ridden with the false, corporately cultivated imagery of approvingly mirthful arseholes that you love to make fun of!

It’s a work of travesty! It’s utterly shameful! Nintendo MUST be punished on a much grander scale for peddling this embarrasing shite! I demand retribution for having suffered under this campaign! They are using the word ‘enjoy’ as a buzzword! That’s not far from ‘obey’ in terms of persuasive buzzwords! They might as well have called it the ‘Obey Nintendo’ campaign. And Ant & Dec! Ant & Dec are WOKING FOR NINTENDO NOW. I think we need to stop and think about the sheer gravity of this.
In light of recent events, may I propose that Nintendo become the official new whipping boy for UK:R, seeing as Sony are shit and all fucked now, at least until Nintendo stop using Ant & Dec. Deal?

Jesus. There are people on that website who use the idiom ‘old school’ without any irony at all.

“WOKING FOR NINTENDO ” ?
So one Surrey town has fallen to the propaganda, how are other Surrey towns holding up? Has the Nintendo marketing team got their claws into Bracknell Guildford or Leatherhead yet?

I fucking hate Pant & Dick, I am now boycotting all Nintendo products until they fire them or preferably have them dropped into a lake wearing concrete shoes.

“So one Surrey town has fallen to the propaganda”
The moment I saw that I knew somebody would bring me up on it! To be honest though, you went down a more specialist route than I expected. I expected a joke about Chinese cooking implements.
My typing’s quite bad, but I’m woking on it.
October 23rd, 2009 on 7:33 pm
Ah you did well, considering the amount you typed something was bound to give eventually.
I just live for pedantry and that being in bold was too good to miss ;)
I hadn’t even thought of the chinese frying pan option.
