Game publishers love getting journalists loaded, but this is ridiculous: on the eve of the European PlayStation 3 launch, Microsoft saw fit to remind journos that Xbox 360 costs £146 less than PS3 by sending them £146 worth of... Foster's. With a card that reads:
What would you purchase with £146...?
(The price difference between an Xbox 360and [sic] a PlayStation 3)
Well, for a start we thought you might like £146 worth of beer to kick
start your weekend early.
Jump in.
Xbox 360
The leader in the next generation of gaming and entertainment
No. No I would not buy £146 worth of Foster's. I'd rather buy a Euro PS3, and that's the one with the gimped backwards compatibility and everything.
MS sends CVG the difference between 360 and PS3... in beer! [CVG]
