Sony using PGR3 to promote PS3 - Again? - May 18, 2007 22:33

US, May 17, 2007 - Earlier this year Sony was caught using a screenshot of Microsoft' s Project Gotham Racing 3 to promote Gran Turismo 4. When the accident was pointed out, Sony quickly removed the shot and replaced it with a proper still of GT4. But it looks like Sony may not have learned from the mistake, as TeamXbox has found the company apparently using PGR3 to promote its products again.

Sony is running a promotion with Kia automobiles in Spain, and the Website for the tie-in was seen blatantly displaying a screenshot featuring a Ferrari with a PGR-branded license plate. The shot has again been removed and replaced with a car from Ridge Racer, but not before TeamXbox did a screen capture:


I don' t think logic goes into any marketing decisions within Sony. Either that or they must outsource monkey' s. Seriously...

The 3rd one was an error by a magazine, not sony...

I say that all consoles in the future should use PGR3 to promote themselves.

I say we revise all previous console advertising to also include PGR3 images. Future archaeologists will be so confused!
