i wasnt planning on getting a launch ps4 but now im not to sure about that

Didnt Obama name dorp the xbox during a speech about the Shutdown

 

[R-User!]

Looks like Obama's gonna get a free PS4!

And he didn't need to eat any Taco Bell crap!

 

[ButchCat]

When Sony said this is their biggest marketing campaign in the history of PlayStation they weren't lying.

 

[jaypah]

Didn't he just name drop Xbox recently? Obeezy getting that cake!

 

[FonkyByNature]

A foreign born Pres hyping a foreign made system. Shocking.

Wow, that is the kind of mentality that is wrong in this world. Disgusting.

Funny that you say foreign when the PlayStation platform creates more jobs in the US than Microsoft does.

*Murica f* yeah i guess...

 

[Xilium]

On a related note, I find it a little amusing that non-gamers are now having to deal with launch-week server connection and congestion issues. Just a shame that its for something so important.

 

[CrankyJay]

Can't wait until Sony actually puts this in a commercial.

Xbox One is going to sell out too. Not sure why Obama forgot to mention that.

Perfect user name for this comment, haha.

 

[thehillissilent]

I always knew he wasn't born in America, that's he won't promote American made products like Xbox.

I hope this is a joke. Hawaii is part of the USA. However, there is a decent amount of Japanese people in Hawaii so.....

Dude, he was born in Hawaii (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate).

He is trolling. You gaming section plebs need to hang out in offtopic section more often.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

First they advertise at Kanye's proposal and now this. Damn Sony is putting in work.

[leadbelly]

I wonder if that was intentional...

 

[Crisco]

Dude's angling to be a lobbyist for the video game industry after he leaves office. He mentions XBoxes and Playstations in like all his speeches.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

How much do you think they paid him to say that?

Spoiler

Kidding.

 

[Joeki11a]

He said Xbox before regarding the Govt lockdown issue...

Now uses Ps4 on this fiasco?

Whats going on?

 

[Raistlin]

Son, I'm not from gaming side

I'm not even looking at it in that way. I was thinking of it more in terms of identifying with a certain demographic. A clever use of psychology.

In politics they call it lobbying

 

[Cornbread78]

Oh God Obama, I'm in the health insurance biz.... do you know how much fud you guys have thrown at the American people in the past year? I just... I can't... I won't even get into it. The false hope.....


Anyhwo, I hope there are PS4s available in Feb. at income tax time for me, because, ya know, Obamacare has caused my company to cut back everywhere to show strength in the industry by remaining profitable in an industry you are trying to kill, therefore my compensation has dropped and I can no longer afford to get one right now with the holidays coming... OK, that was good right? No salty, BS, outrageous statements about Obamacare?

 

[Tom_Cody]

Obama knows about the 8gb GDDR5 and was like

Don't make me laugh out loud at work.

Just when I thought I was safe from seeing that bafoon, I see a thread pop up in a gaming forum with his name on it and have to click on it out of sheer morbid curiousity. /sigh The guy really will use just about any angle to push his half-baked healthcare (aka make insurance co's more $$) agenda.

Oh man... all this political talk is really classing up the whole console war theme today.

Or you know... not, and its just as childish and sectarian.

Yea lets not go down this road now.

You will not last long spewing that nonsense in the gaming side...

[Senor Kami]

The sad part is that there are people who will take that seriously.

 

[Jackl]

Ok people, scroll either to top or bottom of the page to figure out what forum you're in.

If you wish to further discuss the implications of forcefully feeding government mandated revenue to a already heavily monopolized industry there is a more proper place to do that.

Have fun, get tagged, don't get banned.

 

[Phades]

Corporate shill Obama just doing what he does best. Helping sell foreign products and ignoring the death of a home grown American brand like Xbox.

Sure, if you call fabbed in china and assembled in mexico "home grown". Both of them are "home grown" in that instance.

 

[Mitark]

This is pretty hilarious.

Unrelated to the topic, but if you've got twitter follow @fanfiction_txt. They cherry pick a bunch of hilarious shit like this off fanfiction.net

Has Adam Boyes seen this? Somebody who does the twitter should pass this along.

Various PlayStation twitter accounts have tweeted about it, and I think Yosp retweeted some lol.
