Sony insults Halo 3 on Wikipedia

On the Halo series page at Wikipedia, an edit originated from Sony Computer Entertainment casts aspersions on Microsoft's Halo 3. In the Halo 3 section of the Halo page, Sony added "(Halo 3) wont look any better than Halo 2." (See the first and second story images attached below.) Since then, the Halo page has been corrected and locked from further vandalism.

The WikiScanner discovery is also reported on Wired's 'Threat Level'. (See Alternative Sources.) The report and IP address have been checked by Wired senior editor Kevin Poulsen, (i.e., see the third attached image for Poulsen's comments; "Sony insults Halo 3" is the second report after the Walmart report.)

Finally, the forth and last image was taken from a 'Whois' search at the RIPE.net database for "217.18.23.2", the IP address recorded by Wikipedia as having edited the Halo page. The query shows that 217.18.23.2 is registered to SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) Liverpool Studios in Great Britain. The result also shows the studio's physical address, phone number, and email address.

Will the mudslinging at Sony ever end?

Can you please give me an example where MS is "guilty" of illegitimate business practices? I'll give you another for Sony: They paid radio stations to play their music (J-Lo).

"Can you please give me an example where MS is "guilty" of illegitimate business practices?"

What rock have you been living under?

Google Microsoft + Guilty for a million hits.

or how about this:

"Microsoft Corp. landed in the Wikipedia doghouse Tuesday after it offered to pay a blogger to change technical articles"

Or How about Microsoft editing wiki to cover up 360 hardware issues and defacing Apples page.

gotta love the wiki scanner.

It has already been reported as fake, look at it closely pg2 anyone!
Just some nerd fanboy trying to stir crap up. NeoGaf debunked this hours ago!

XboxIsBad6076d ago

who cares? Halo 3 is going to be the worst most anticipated game for the 360. don't get your hopes up for it. Say anything about Halo, it sucks anyway.

ER1X6076d ago

Please tell me you were being sarcastic. What record company DOESN'T pay radio stations for air time?

LMFAO...you can't seriously think Sony is the only one who does this.

Don't go around spamming, attacking and posting negative sh1ts about other people because you think you are online and hiding behind an anonymous screen name. Some time in the future, someone will come up with a new software tool that will be able to trace all your past online activities, comments and postings back to you and find out who you are.

Just because you are anonymous now and have been in the past does not mean you will always stay anonymous in the future. All your "anonymous" activities are recorded, and they can be checked and traced back to you in the future as new tools are being invented.

sfinXters6076d ago

Can the tool also check porn sites that i've visited 3 years ago and send links to my relatives?

ChronoTrigger876076d ago

Man wondering about the samething.. geez.. since we are on topic here, how do you get rid of your history??

CRIMS0N_W0LF6076d ago

So it is OK for Microsoft and its Developers and payed Reviewers and Shops (Gamestation Anyone?) To Bash PS3 24/7 while Sony can't say anything?

Like a shadow I am6076d ago (Edited 6076d ago )

Right now we happen to be looking at the *PROOFS* that Sony has indeed put negative edits in the Halo page on Wikipedia. It's the IP address that shows that it's indeed Sony that made the edit.

Unfortunately for Sony, now that WikiScanner has come out, people will be able to trace and check everything Sony did on Wikipedia when they thought they could stay anonymous forever.

I would like to see PROOFS that Microsoft has paid reviewers and shop to bash Sony; otherwise, you guys are just LYING and pulling craps out of your arse.

sfinXters6076d ago

@3.1 - I believe it is prooF not prooFS.
Anyhow, most of intelligent people know that Wikipedia is full of sh!t because anyone can edit it. I don't see what's the big deal about this. Everybody knows that Sony likes to play dirty and everybody also knows that Microsoft in no better. Get over it.

masterg6076d ago (Edited 6076d ago )

Where is the Proof that Sony did this edit?
Can someone show me a trace of the IP that confirms this?
When I do a trace it shows a location in Central Africa.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii105d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies105d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer142d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog142d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned142d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c142d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb142d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72142d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman142d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows141d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72153d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai153d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ153d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil153d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
