Bungie's Halo 3 Advertised For Sony's Playstation 3

Taken from a Blockbuster store in the UK. It's a bold marketing approach, even by Sony's standards.

MACHone6096d ago

...to realize what was funny.

JsonHenry6096d ago

I don't think Sony had anything to do with that. But then again they have surprised me before. This IS sony we are talking about here.

Lacarious6096d ago

str8 comedy how they continue to make marketing blunder after blunder.

MACHone6095d ago

Err, I hope you don't seriously think this was a blunder by Sony (you can never quite be too sure on these message boards nowadays). This is at a Blockbuster, so someone who works there just brought in a Halo 3 trailer and uploaded it onto the PS3.

Shadow Flare6096d ago

I think Halo 3 is totally awesome and im gonna buy it

j/k

lol i doubt sony was involved in that

XboxKing6096d ago

Yeah

I dont think Sony was involved in that mix up.

hella whip6096d ago

Doubt this is official Sony marketing to be honest, Its probably some kid that works there did it and posted it on youtube and is now probably having a big circle jerk with his mates over the flamewar this will turn out to be.

Mr Marbles6096d ago

Well we have seen Sony use PGR3 pics and try to push them as their own on several occasions, I am not sure Sony is above such marketing behavior.

If this was the other way around and MS was advertising MGS4 as their own, not one of you would question it, you would be going on how MS is sleazy and evil, why anyone thinks Sony is any better I fail to understand.

Mu5afir6096d ago

Sony hasn't once used the PGR3 to advertise their system, it was done by other magazines or companies.

Maddens Raiders6096d ago (Edited 6096d ago )

you sound like a lunatic politician who lost an argument and is now resorting to wild conspiracy theories. =O

Wonder if it has anything to do with the employees wiring the video to this set, playing it and then conveniently recording it? Nahhh - couldn't be... o_0

Meus Renaissance6096d ago (Edited 6096d ago )

Sony isn't responsible nor do they manage the advertisement of stores like Blockbuster. My local store has the same PS3 stand but its managed by the employees. What this video shows is that the TV set isn't connected to the actual machine but part of a network of TV's in the store.

In Blockbuster, they have several TV's hanging on the walls that play the same content simulatenously. Usually trailers for movies and game videos such as this.

N4GayFanturds6096d ago

will Sony Fanboys go? They just dropped another notch with this one.

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

Kaii130d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies130d 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?

DrDoomer168d ago

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

raWfodog167d ago

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

BrainSyphoned168d 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*

Husker42c168d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb167d ago

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

ChasterMies168d ago (Edited 168d 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_Mal168d ago (Edited 168d 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.

darthv72167d 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.

Hofstaderman167d ago

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

Profchaos167d ago (Edited 167d 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.

BehindTheRows167d 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.

darthv72179d 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.

isarai179d ago

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

TheBrainZ179d ago

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

LG_Fox_Brazil178d 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
