[mood]

Quick... someone spin Sony giving away tv's with the PS3 a bad thing... quick, I need to rest easy...

Less than 100 people showed up to get free tvs.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"think its worse a free 46 inch hdtv etc couldnt lure more then a 100 or so people out to launch "

Yeah, that was the bad part.

Think having to give away Free 46 inch HDTVs is enough spin on its own merits lol. and only manage to lure 100 people with that offer lol

Microsoft is run by the cheekiest bunch of bastards on the entire planet.

There should be pretty good crowd at main party..Sony pretty much had every employee attend.

 

[schuelma]

Only 100 in the U.K? Isn't that horrid?

 

[Pilopo]

That poor guy looks like he cant sell all of his PS3

 

[DCharlie]

John Houlihan, editor of Computer and Videogames.com, said the initial line-up of games for the machine was "fairly decent".

"It lacks a must-buy, stand-out game. Six months down the line we will see Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo and more PlayStation bankers."

six months until GT you say?

I don't know...here's 3 off the top of my head.

Nintendo didn't have to give away free TVs to get people to come out.

Now all Sony has to do is give away free consoles and games, and they will have a hit on there hands!

Sony finally found a way to make the PS3 seem affordable!

The possibilities are pretty endless, really.

OMG. They were giving away 46 hdtvs. thats crazy.

I think what people are forgetting is this free TV offer WAS NOT ADVERTISED. Only 100 people got it because nobody knew about it.

 

[Ronok]

I can't ****ing believe they gave away TV's and I didn't go! Why am I not a Sony fanboy WHY? ****! ; ;

you fail...

You could have blasted them for wasting money on free TV's instead of dropping the price...
