Is this real? I doubt Sony would stoop to this level. This is shit other gaming companies do....not Sony.

Will they fix the way the game is run this time? Otherwise, I can imagine a ton of PS4 being given away again.

Not surprised. They did a similar Vita promotion. And that looks like one big fuckin' box. Wonder what grease-laden treasures are inside.

Between Doritos, Dew, and Taco Bell we're gonna see a lot of diabetic comas among gamers.

But it's nice to see Sony is matching promotions with Xbox.

Taco Bell has an exclusive Mountain Dew flavor called Baja Blast. Close enough, I suppose.

They're all under the PepsiCo.

I remember some other company doing this when the 360 came out (Might've been Lays?) and I won one after spending days on it. Though it wasn't a 360 every 15 minutes... it was like once an hour, but they did other random stuff the other 15 minutes like accessories and games. (This was in Canada... hopefully this PS4 thing happens up here)

Sony isn't perfect, contrary to what a lot of people on GAF say. And there's nothing wrong with advertisement such as this...

Man, a large advertising campaign at a fast food restaurant sure going to tarnish their reputation. Every other company who pulled this off didn't make it out alive if I remember correctly.

IIRC, Taco Bell is owned by Yum Foods, who is owned by PepsiCo. Pepsi owns Mountain Dew/Doritos (Thus the exclusive MD flavors & Doritos tacos in Taco Bell).

Funny how different sides of the same company can be used to promote competing products.

Yum Foods was actually created as a publicly traded spinoff of PepsiCo in the 90s. They aren't owned by PepsiCo. They do however have a permanent contract with PepsiCo, which is why Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut serve Pepsi products.

Interesting stuff. This is incredibly obvious in hindsight.
