Title: Why would Sony use a picture of a 360 game to advertise Gran Turismo? Post by: JWKobayashi on January 25, 2007, 05:40:04 PM I usually don't post this kind of stuff, but I just couldn't resist this one...

B) Stupid C) Thought it's fan base was stupid D) Thought it's fan base wouldn't notice it was a PGR3 pic. E) All the above I say E.

Seriously, that move confuses me. I wonder WTF was going on over in Sony's web marketing department when they made that banner up. I guess we'll never know.

Post by: Tondog on January 25, 2007, 06:36:06 PM Sorry for the double post, but I'm gonna make things a little bit more interesting here...
Here is the "stolen" image: [img width=474 height=149]http://media.arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.media/gtripoff.JPG[/img] Here is the corrected new image: [img width=475 height=154]http://psp.connect.com/images/hdr_hp_grandturismo_hd.jpg[/img] What is so weird about this? Simple. The game's title. Sony has never called Gran Turismo HD by the name of Gran Turismo 4 HD. It's always been Gran Turismo HD. That seems really fishy that they'd let that slip by. So, I'm kind of thinking it might be the work of a hacker or a web designer who got frustrated with Sony. There has got to be more here than meets the eye because there's no way that the higher ups at Sony would have approved that first picture.

Post by: Tondog on January 25, 2007, 06:47:27 PM Actually, now that I think about it, it probably wasn't even someone at Sony. A lot of companies hire outside people to maintain and change their site. So, maybe it was some kid who didn't give a shit about his job and hated Sony who posted that picture.

Oh so sad. Title: Re: Why would Sony use a picture of a 360 game to advertise Gran Turismo? Post by: James on January 26, 2007, 04:41:03 AM Or... perhaps Bizarre Creations stole the picture from GTHD and put it on their website so they could mock Sony.

Title: Re: Why would Sony use a picture of a 360 game to advertise Gran Turismo? Post by: Cobra on January 26, 2007, 05:37:40 PM I've studied the two pictures, the poor quality of both the jpgs, the transparent fading bar at the bottom.
They are no doubt done by the same person. Also if it had been hacked, Sony would of mentioned this to save face. So what I want to know, is what the hell is Sony doing with 360 screen shots?

Do you think Sony will give me permission to use their 360 screen shot? :laugh: |
