MS unleash the XBOAT and crash the French PS3 launch!!!

This is a killer...

...the Tour Eiffel PS3 launch party seemed to be going really well...



...the queues formed, with tons of Frenchies hotly anticipating the midnight launch...



...until they saw...



...Microsoft' s XBOAT!!!



...and everybody left the queue to buy Xbox 360' s instead, leaving just this guy wanting a PS3...

That didn' t really happen.... Or did it?



Either way... That series of pictures is funny..

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

I' d love to work for Microsoft' s marketing dept.

But get this, yesterday Microsoft sent CVG £146 worth of Fosters (£146 being the difference in price between the two consoles) ...

...included was a message that read...

What would you purchase for £146...? (The price difference between an Xbox 360 and a PlayStaion 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.

That is so cool! :)

The Xboat is cool, maybe a little over-the-top; but that beer bit is brilliant!

I wanna go on the Xboat...

Edit: ' Xbox 360 *hearts* you' - People do impulsive things when they see *heart* lol.

Edit2: I take it back. The folding chairs one is the most brilliant.

Really?

Hey, it worked for Katamari

According to the LINK, the www.shkyw.org URL was written on those folding chairs that MS UK gave out to the people waiting for the PS3 launch. Nice viral marketing right there, right under everyone' s...butts XD

Right, the URL' s on the back

All in all, they' re all surprisingly fun jibes at Sony, in good taste.

Hahahahah just brilliant!! Genius idea by Microsoft!

They might be in good taste but there is an undertone to this. Basically M$ are on the ball and going to do all they can to supress the threat of the PS3. I mean the Xboat timing is brilliant, sending the difference between the 2 consoles to the largest indie review mag in the UK genius, the website just goes to show that Sony need to up their game a bit. M$ 1 Pony 0.

LOL!

That is the best marketing scheme for anything I have ever seen in my life! Ever! That' s just... brilliant.

Surely someone has got to do one of those fake Mastercard adverts, for this.

That bottle of Becks looks so lonely next to the PS3. But seriously though, that makes me want to be a games reviewer.

Wicked! I wonder how many people waiting in line for the PS3 MS had placed there to rush over to the Xboat...

Hhahaha, wow, it has to suck to be sony right now
