Your comment completely misrepresented what my point was. What is there to argue?

That's genius.
No, that wasn't a joke - That was just a stupid statement.

I agree. Sony going the extra mile is fantastic honestly, but from the article it doesn't seem like the MS guy did anything too wrong. I think it's one of those things where you had to be there.

That is awesome
Quite a few actually. Especially if they're in smaller cities or secondary venues, or if they set up temporary risers where the games are so they're not cluttering up the show floor proper.

Or maybe you just didn't get the joke and took it seriously.

Pretty fucked up that the organizers didn't consider wheelchair accessibility. It's 2013.

...but were told that kinect 2.0 couldn't accommodate wheelchairs - MS did not give them free XOs
good on sony btw
No, a joke has to be funny -- You can see nobody else is laughing or even 'getting' this so-called joke. You can't just spew stupid shit and then hide behind the "LOLOL IT WAS A JOEK GAIS
".It isn't the second floor. It's probably a big high hall and some of the companies build booths that have second floors (our company does that also on our main trade fair).
But it's just something constructed from the booth builder not something permanent in the building
See this is what bugs me. How is this bad PR? What if MS never even knew about it? They could have asked a event guy, "Can we get up to the Xbox booth?" and been told, "No.". If Sony guy overhears this and shoots it up his boss, that's good PR, and if MS doesn't hear about it, it's bad PR. People are saying that the fact that Xbox truck was locked was bad PR. *Brainmelt*.

Nah, just terrible super capitalists.
It was deleted - probably because they didn't provide a source. I imagine it'll pop up again later now that someone provided the Facebook link

I got it, and the first thing I thought when I read the OP was that someone was going to make a joke about how they wish they were disabled to get a PS4.No, a joke has to be funny -- You can see nobody else is laughing or even 'getting' this so-called joke. You can't just spew stupid shit and then hide behind the "LOLOL IT WAS A JOEK GAIS
Just because you don't think something is funny doesn't mean it wasn't intended to be humorous. People miss jokes here all the time and over react.

In some peoples mind, everything an employee of a gaming company does is PR.
Is MS hiring a jackass really that controversial?
if it is the usual kind of exhibition centre, they are huge open areas with temporary buildings made for each event. There is simply no way they could put elevators in for specific booths. Having said that, it does seem a bit silly to have your premier products hidden away upstairs -normally you'd have those spaces for meeting rooms etc.
Yes, let's throw around racial slurs next, pretend they are jokes and then someone can claim they got it. There's jokes and there's stupid ass statements.
But hey you got it, joke of the century then, thread became so much better, 9/10 - Let's move on.

You're saying that as if there aren't racial jokes. Again, just because you don't think something is funny doesn't mean it's not a joke.
The whole point of the joke was to get people like you to quote him and be amazed that he would say it.

At first I read the title as Sony was making a disabled fan day like a holiday then i read the article. Good for Sony to do something like this. Going the extra mile is always impressive.
