Oh my days you have got to love this, Microsoft advertising PlayStation. No one ever thought Sony’s rivals would ever push advertisements showing off the awesome PS3 would they now.
Check out the advertisement leaflet above and you can clearly see 2 boys holding PS3 controllers, but the leaflet also shows Microsoft Windows Vista.
Oh Microsoft can you explain this please because we are all confused, we know you want a piece of the PS3 action. Come on readers’ get those comment in, in fact send in a header title for this leaflet as we would love to know what title you would come up with.

How thick can they be? Anybody with the knowledge of a nat can see thats a PS controller. Surely somebody from within Microsoft should have pointed that out.

Maybe microsoft are sublimnily admitting defet and are bowing down to ps3?
Nah calm down fanboys im sure its just a fan of ps3 which works in the ad dept for microsoft having a right laugh!
Well done to whoever!

lOL, this is funny Microsoft are doing sony’s job, everyone knows sony cant advertise for sh1t and have seen sales drop because of it, microsoft just want to help a fallen friend. Of course they did this on purpose people who own vista are more likely to own a ps3, marketing. The people in the army had a similar sort of thing with a xbox controller, only more effective, if this wan not pointed out I would not have looked at it twice. I think you will find its microsoft laughing in Sony’s face, Im sure the new head of the company losing millions is outraged, how there they advertise my console better than we have ever advertised it, someone in the advertising department will be fired, I am sure of it.

I wouldn’t say Sony cant advertise for ‘Sh1t’ but fair enough they haven’t always been amazing. Just take a look at some onf them… http://www.psu.com/Top-5-PS3-commercials-that-had-us-hooked–a0005440-p0.php
Only Xbox ad I can remember is the baby flying through the air then landing in a grave as an old guy and that was banned after a week or something, so can’t really say that was a great ad.

Sorry to nit pick but they are ps2 controllers not ps3 as both controllers are wired.
7 Killface // Nov 21, 2008 at 8:11 pm
those are PS2 controllers look at the cords and no red light to indicate 1st and 2nd player so maybe they are admitting defeat to the last gen original xbox to the PS2 look at the picture right.

maybe its subliminal, to try and get all the ps3 owners to align them selves with the kids playing ps3 in the ad and switch over to Microsoft

13 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 4:54 pm
No, it subliminally shows that “soon” the Playstation 3 will be PWNED by Microsoft

@ Wargasm great timing, straight after The future of sega, we all know where this is going … down the sh1t hole …

Vista is the worst operation system in known history. A 10 Billion dollar dud. Also anyone ever noticed ho w in tv shows they never have people playing Ps3’s? Their always play Xbox 360’s. Given one tv show I saw finally had some nuts and threw a Ps3 in. Perhaps Microsoft is going to get hit on copyright infringment when they come out with Xbox 360 controllers that are identical to the Ps3’s. So far they are 2nd generation down, one more to go before global releases.
20 willyboner // Nov 23, 2008 at 9:28 pm
AHA!!! i must correct you ,i remeber quite distinctly in a BBC2 Heroes episode (1st series i think) where that nerd kid Micky…Macky…Micah or whatever he’s called playing heavenly sword on a ps3…Don’t ask how i know that…
21 DJEquium // Nov 24, 2008 at 11:38 pm
Step 4. Switch off Vista, Turn on Ps3 and Stare into 1080 dpi screen immersed in Cod WOW.
Step 5. Await imminent release of Resistance 2
lol

@DJEquium…are you in Europe or something? R2 is already out In America…I have it…I beat it on the hardest difficulties…and sadly unless theres a patch it is only a 8 on my books. Cough…fix glitches…cough pissed and wiped hard drive.
Still its campaign is great and it is a nice step up in 720p graphics.

PS3 RULES! Forget Those 360 Fanboys…
25 Dangthing // Dec 13, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Yea ok….I agree but is this relevant?
26 Crani // Dec 17, 2008 at 12:11 am
Those are not PS controller, just look at the one on the hand of the kid on the left, the directional button doesn’t look like those you find on a PS controller and the analog sticks are black on the PS and this ones are grey.
27 killface // Dec 17, 2008 at 6:00 pm
@ Crani
Sorry but the are PS2 controllers look at the analog stick its black with a rubber grey nob and no red player indicator lights look at the cord it is clearly not a USB cord
28 Risky // Feb 24, 2009 at 11:42 pm
how dumb can you all be? Have you ever seen athe d-pad on a ps2 controller like this? Its jus a 3rd party controller for the pc in the shape of ps2 controllers as i have seen many.
