At least Microsoft didn't say, "You have to stand up to play Kinect."
I expect another minor fuck up during the day, then another huge one by tomorrow morning to keep us all face palming till fridaySo does this constitute this week's MS PR fuck up ... or do we expect another one?
What's the over/under?
What pic?Just look at the picture plenty of xbones on the first floor. I highly doubt MS would tell them to go away when they have xbones on the first floor.
I didn't think you were contesting the vouchers, I thought you were contesting the entire situation - i.e. them receiving complimentary PS4s, due to the logistical oversight. Basically your post read like you were saying: this person's obviously lying, didn't get anything and is just making trouble.I was contesting both the voucher aspect and the fact that MS were dismissive. Seems pretty self explanatory. What made you think I was only contesting the vouchers?
The one I quoted you on?What pic?
Just browsed the thread and only saw a construction pic for the MS area (kiosks aren't setup yet)
Give it a rest, kid. If you're going to have this kind of bias, as least be a bit more subtle about it.

Oh boy. This is a joke right?
here's the pic.

The company I work for makes booths and stands for important brands in automotive industry, food and beverage, clothing and footwear, mechanics, leather, chemicals etc...
We would NEVER do such thing even if the exhibition center gave us the authotization.
For us a ramp is always compulsory.
This is the proof Microsoft (and their constructors) have their heads up their ass.
Here:huh? Apparently I'm blind
Yup. Here's the mezzanine level MS created to show off their consoles:
Obviously you can't make that wheelchair-accessible.
It could have been designed with a ramp to begin with.
here's the pic.
After apologizing, Sony found a solution.Sony didn't have a ramp on theirs too, hence the problem with acessing the PS4's.
Sony provided a solution.
Microsoft didn't.
Boom.
It's not completed yet.Pretty dangerous not having rails on those stairs. A fall from that height wont kill you but damn it could still do some damage.
Nah, man. Enjoy your money.
I wish I had some.
Against microsoft as a company? Yes, I don't like them. I think I have the right to do so and I don't need to pretend I like every company/product the same way.
Doesn't make me a blind fanboy either.
The really cool thing is Microsoft will certainly fix this or blunder and give the kid a xboxone.
Shhhh!You can see X1s on the bottom floor.
That explains it. Can't see shit in the small pic. I assume those black things are screens?Here:
Bigger version here:
Let's give credit where credit is due. The fact that Microsoft didn't spit in their faces shows a clear improvement in PR.
Yes.That explains it. Can't see shit in the small pic.

edited my postYes.
Shhhh!
This is a Sony praising, Microsoft bashing thread. Lets not ruin that for everybody.
Seems unlikely since that would defeat the purpose of such an event. Either way it's highly suspect since we are basing all of this on a single facebook no one was able to verify.edited my post
You honestly think at the end of the day Sony are any cleaner than MS are? These corporations are all as bad as each other. Sony just has much better PR and infinitely better executives these days.
Yes, I think the vast majority of people here believe that. Sony are the good guys and Microsoft are the bad guys. This thread is testament to how sheepishly people will accept anything they're told so long as it fits in with what they want to believe, no matter how questionable it is in reality. Look at how many people are saying 'fuck Microsoft' and not even doubting for a second the idea that Sony reps just walk around with free PS4 vouchers in their pockets.You honestly think at the end of the day Sony are any cleaner than MS are?
I have no loyalty to anybody unlike a lot of people here. I'm just trying to be fair.Seems like a Seanspeed thread to me considering how much damage control you're throwing around.
Shhhh!

Sorry then, I had to specify that both Sony and Microsoft have their heads up their asses for doing such thing.I know they did. But you were saying they had their heads up their asses for not making it like that in the first place. Neither company did.

Had an amazing day at the EBGames Expo yesterday and here's my little story and massive thanks to Sony and EBGames for hosting the event! (For the purpose of the story I will let you know I am in a wheelchair)
We were going around the Expo as you do, looking at all the different booths and games when we ended up at the Sony Australia section. Itching to test out the new next gen consoles we went inside and a worker there asked if we needed any help with anything, I answered "Yes, I'd like to know where to go to test the PlayStation 4" the worker replied "Oh there's an issue with that but please wait, I will get someone to explain to you and I think you'll be very pleased with our solution".
Wondering what was going on we waited, and after a few minutes along came a Representative of Sony Australia and explained "First of all, I'd like to say that Sony deeply apologises as we have made a massive oversight in regards to supporting our disabled player base and we have placed all the PlayStation 4's upstairs and with no way to get you up there. Again we are extremely sorry, it really should never have happened but because it is totally our fault and we always support our disabled player base, we would like to offer something in return along with our sincerest apology. Please could you leave you name and contact details with us and we will give you a PlayStation 4 on release day." I was shocked and said "The whole console, on release day and for free??!?!". He said "Yes, absolutely, it's the least we can do for what we have done here."
So for myself, and my 3 friends also in wheelchairs. We all are getting free PlayStation 4's!!
The XBox area had the exact same setup and all we were told is "Sorry, it's upstairs, you can't try it" and were sent off.
Bullshit, 3 posts in and the MS bashing started.Actually it was just a nice to read story thread, until you and a couple of others turned it into a crusade to defend the poor persecuted.
That would contradict the facebook post. Seeing as it said that all the PS4's where on the 2nd floor and MS had the exact same setup.The bottom area probably was flooded with people, maybe the second floor wasn't?
Still haven't read the fb post, I see.Yes, I think the vast majority of people here believe that. Sony are the good guys and Microsoft are the bad guys.
