It seems like only Nintendo can get this kind of stuff right. Or... maybe not? O_O

They don't get Western market deals...

I'll explain. It is stealth advertising for Star Wars Battlefront, because Sony paid for marketing rights. They did the same with Destiny last year, which was also coincidentally done by Xbox UK.

I get the joke from a gamer perspective, but from a business perspective stuff like this pisses me off because it is so blatantly obvious that they're disrespecting deals done by other companies, and Xbox does the exact same type of deals. Extremely unprofessional of Xbox UK, it's pitiful that they feel the need to resort to tricks like that.

Can't wait for people to call me out for overreacting because it's "just a joke" though

Well it is just a joke and quite clever too 😊 there's really no need for us gamers to be pissed off of whatever marketing deals these companies make. Sony should have come up with something similar too.


Do you agree that it's a cheap trick to circumvent the marketing deal for Star Wars Battlefront? If so, it's not "just a joke"

The thing that weirds me out the most about this is why they are posting this now. I mean I get that they shot they video during Gamescom but Battlefront isn't coming for another 4 months, why not wait with this video until a more appropriate time?

I was talking about the video's style.

Like, these clips are legitimately funny, but this one isn't. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Ok, then. I'll wait for Xbox's version of Robot Chicken

We don't take jabs at Nintendo, they're the good guys... unless you're their employee or fanbase. XD

Cheap, no. Smart, most definately. Sony shouldnt allow sucj=h things to happen. Next time maybe their contract will be written better... or you know they could just bring EA Access to PS4

Super cheesy but I chuckled a bit. And I think it's fair Xbox got to advertise it since it is technically playable first thans to EA Access!

I'll buy the 1080p version on PS4.
