I don't get it. :confused:

PGR is an xbox exclusive. It doesn't make sense to have a ps3 playing PGR.

who made the ad?

doesn't take a moron who never plays video games to pull a random untitled screenshot and paste it into the design.

i'm never amazed by the fickleness of the internet gaming community.
:rolleyes:

Months and months ago, on the official PSP Connect site there was an ad at the top for Gran Turismo, but the screenshot they used was from Project Gotham 3, which is an Xbox exclusive.

The last time this happened I don't think any of us got up in arms about it. It was something to laugh at and nothing more. Anybody with half a brain might do a little research, and know what picture he was using, to advertise his product. Apparently Sony (and now whoever made this ad), hired somebody who doesn't.

[BlueMak]

Oh, this is funny, and insulting at the same time.

[Defective]

There is a Sony exec who is making an appointment right now with that ad agency or marketing department . . . and he is bringing his katana.

[Jerome36]

I went to the site and that image isn't used... I guess they must have fixed it.

As a senior designer and outside marketing director for several companies, I'd shoot myself in the head for doing something this utterly stupid. It would also destroy my business.

When you're in the business of advertising a product, you damned well better take the time to make sure you know a little bit about the field.

[Draax]

Ya they changed the site now, oh well screenshots FTW.

Thats no Kia in that screenshot...

Are you suggesting that a Kia is not as nice as that car?!?
