Can't wait for the "Scent of Lara" from Sony lol

Naaah Sony should do 'Pre-worn by Lara' and do a lingerie range

Man Sony would win Japan with that

ps3ud0 8)

 

[Guymelef]

Japanese gamers can't buy the fragance

 

[Revolutionary]

"Eau de Desperation" would be more fitting.

lol indeed
I have to admit it's pretty clever, but I wonder if it's actually covering their bases. It's still using the Destiny logo and promoting it as a shooter on Xbox.

 

[Phazon]

I like it. It's a funny way to get some attention/marketing. Very clever of them.

 

[Ardenyal]

They werent allowed to run ads for the game but then they ran an ad anyway. MS you crazzy.

 

[Percy]

That's cute, but damn the desperation is palpable from these guys.

Eau de Salt, amirite.

lol, love it

 

[Kysen]

Eau de Salt, amirite.

Fuck I laughed hard at this

 

[Rolodzeo]

That smell came from the moon.

 

[ViviOggi]

Only thing reeking of desperation are these spin attempts, it's a nice ad.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Can't wait for the Holiday 2015 Tomb Raider ads that let you know it'll be on the PS4 in half a year.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Sony has name dropped Call of Duty a couple of times on their conferences in E3/Gamescom. This is the first time I have ever heard of a platform holder not allowed to talk about a game on their platform.

This site does mention that Destiny is a first person shooter on Xbox One, so it looks like it would break any silly rules anyway.

 

[BokehKing]

Funny but also sad. Microsoft already have exclusive advertising rights for madden, call of duty and battlefield I think.

Even the corporate head office is going through that entitlement withdrawal with destiny



That ad should read "ok... We shouldn't have tried to Tony hawk Bungie, if we didn't, this could have been a Microsoft exclusive, we screwed up"

 

[Kyoufu]

Would be funny if it was Mountain Dew.

 

[Eggbok]

Can't wait for the "Scent of Lara" from Sony lol

Will actually be called "Drake"

 

[Compsiox]

I love it thank you

 

[red731]

Eau de Salt, amirite.

DAMN

 

[Miles X]

What's the worst that could happen? It's not as if Sony will complain to Acti and get anywhere.

 

[Jezbollah]

I wonder if the scent resembles melting solder.

 

[Bodom78]

Very clever way to advertise the game.

 

[reptilescorpio]

LOL!

Although considering the whole Tomb Raider 2 schmozzle recently Sony could understandably reply with a Tomb Raider 2 will be on PS4* site lol

 

[bloke]

I don't think that's desperate, more like totally pissed off.

 

[Super Stardust]

gg microsoft

 

[jem0208]

Hah, that's hilarious.


Also lol at the spinning in this thread.

 

[Forsythia]

It's pretty clever. I really don't see this as desperate. And yeah, of course Destiny is perceived as a PS exclusive and MS wants to make sure people know you can play it on Xbox too.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Any exclusive scents for Playstation owners?

 

[Alucrid]

so it's just mountain dew, right?

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Wait! MS isn't even allowed to mention that Destiny is coming to their systems? How far do these exclusive co-marketing partnerships go?

 

[ukpanik]

How bizarre.

 

[BeforeU]

LOL!

Although considering the whole Tomb Raider 2 schmozzle recently Sony could understandably reply with a Tomb Raider 2 will be on PS4* site lol

You do know even though we can assume it will come out on PS4, SQ haven't exactly said which platform it will be coming out later. It could be only PC too. You can't run a marketing without knowing first.

 

[Miles X]

It's pretty clever. I really don't see this as desperate. And yeah, of course Destiny is perceived as a PS exclusive and MS wants to make sure people know you can play it on Xbox too.

This. I don't know how you could perceive it as MS being pissed, but people see what they want to see.

 

[maniac-kun]

Does it smell like mountain dew an doritos?

 

[red731]

Alternatively when entering the store -

"Smells like....Destiny."

 

[Zok310]

Spray some of that on them open wounds MS, enjoy the burn.

 

[Skele7on]

£349 for an xbox one, destiny and MCC WHAT A DEAL

 

[Son of Sam]

Damn, couldn't get in and enjoy the clever marketing before all the "they're desperate they're desperate!" bombardments.

 

[DeviantBoi]

So what prevents them from advertising that the game is coming out on their console? Couldn't they have made an ad for the XBone that prominently mentioned that Destiny was coming out this month?

I understand the advertising deal between Activision and Sony, but what contract prevents advertising from Microsoft?

 

[pixlexic]

Hah, that's hilarious.


Also lol at the spinning in this thread.

Yeah some people are taking this way too seriuosly.

 

[Spookie]

Ok that's fairly fucking awesome.

 

[SgtCobra]

Wait! MS isn't even allowed to mention that Destiny is coming to their systems? How far do these exclusive co-marketing partnerships go?

Some of these deals go pretty far, ridiculous stuff if you ask me.

 

[Xater]

Wait! MS isn't even allowed to mention that Destiny is coming to their systems? How far do these exclusive co-marketing partnerships go?

They can't do ads with it. Same happened with COD all their ads are just about Xbox. It's not a new thing at all.

 

[Papercuts]

My favorite part about this is it actually making people mad.

 

[protomouse]

Well played, Microsoft. A+

 

[tuna_love]

That same deal im guessing

 

[Ryuuga]

Yeah some people are taking this way too seriuosly.

Have you seen the Destiny live-action thread? Taking things too seriously is what Destiny is all about.

 

[T.O.P]

My favorite part about this is it actually making people mad.

this so much lol

 

[AkelisRain]

Perhaps they receive a fine and figured this outweighs the consequences. I think it is pretty cool ad.

 

[DeviantBoi]

That same deal im guessing

What binds Microsoft in a deal signed by Sony and Activision?

Doesn't make sense.

 

[J 0 E]

I think it's brilliant.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

You just know if Sony did this with CoD or whatever MS would try and sue their asses.

M e s s

 

[Jigorath]

Well since they can't make a Destiny bundle I guess this is the next best thing.
