lòol yeah, I seen it on the neogaf forums. It's almost as bad as creating 1000 fake PS3 users to publicize it

Is it really needed to bash ps3 at every turn? Or is it like Bush where everyone loved him and now the only time you hear about him is when someone is making fun of him for something that he didnt even do?

And yeah with all the thousands of complaints and comments about how horribly the xbox is performing and dying...... http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/1691.html


Back on topic.

Like Ive been saying for years, wiki is not reliable and should only be considered as reference material, dont ever take what you read there as fact because its open to public alteration. Anyone can change stuff there and people as a whole are wrong almost all the time.

Makes it worse when it comes to information about a product. Blind fanboys will make stuff up, and idiot people who hate something will make stuff up about what they hate, bored folks will make stuff up, people who dont know the facts will accidently make stuff up and the rest are just people who are plain dumb.

no, it's not needed, but I feel like getting some payback from the GC era

It's hard to mention bad video game PR tactics without mentioning Sony in the same breath. They really set the bar. Although more for the PSP than PS3, although overall, they did some really stupid stuff. Honestly, the only really stupid thing EA did was officially commenting on it. Serious, if they had just left it alone, it would have sat there.

It's also wikipedia, anyone who expects it to be right all the time deserves to get false information.
