"The New Zealand TV network that ripped off a PS3 ad and was called on it by fake executive Kevin Butler sent the PlayStation "vice president of everything," a large gift basket as a gesture of goodwill.

Butler, noticing that New Zealand's TV3 straight-up copied the PS3's "Montage" ad from earlier this year, didn't send a cease-and-desist (though the ad was soon pulled) but did spell out in pretty clear terms what he wanted from the broadcaster. Namely, "TV3's support in making the PS3 the Official Game Console of New Zealand. ... That, and a box set of Flight of the Conchords."

Ask and ye shall receive, Kevin. In addition to that plaque (in greater detail here), and the DVDs (but were they Blu-Ray?), SCEA's marketing folks also got a bunch of Kiwi goodies, such as ... Marmite? Yum?

LOL Kudos to Sony for not taking legal action and for TV3 for following through! Fun times for all. I love the "Official Game Console of Aotearoa" plaque with Butler's photo on it!

Nice to see people have a good sense of humour.

I had to do this.

More like hate mail, they clearly put Marmite to make him puke and/or die. 

LOL Is it really that bad? What's the difference between that and vegemite?

New Zealanders are always nice like that!

Little, both taste like baby diareaa.

Did anyone notice that Sony is rarely getting any news these days, that the most of the news it actually get, is about this guy?

how do you know what baby diareaa taste like o-0

Marmite/Vegemite are made from the yeast left over when you clean out the vats used to make beer.
