Makes sense due to the $150 they'll be earning in stuff to buy. Quite smart from MS actually. Sony should do it - buy a PS3 and earn $150 off a Sony 3D TV!


they kind of do. isn't buy a 3d tv get a free ps3? or did they stop that

Yeah, I remember that, but it was a deal in Australia only I think and the TVs were stupidly expensive already.

They're giving away a lot more than just a PS3 now if you buy a Bravia 3d tv in Australia.

Sony Australia has issued a promotion on their Bravia 3D TV line that will instantly get the first 21,000 people a copy of GT5, among other items, before Christmas. Basically all that you need to do is purchase a Bravia 3D TV and submit proof of purchase to Sony to get in on the deal. Once you do that you’re entitled to a shiny new 160GB PS3, two pairs of 3D glasses and a 3D transmitter, two 3D movies, four downloadable PS3 games vouchers, and one highly anticipated racing title. (GT5)

They honestly don't seem like the kind of people that would be interested in KINECT.

I agree

But think about it....they get $150 worth of stuff free

Now they might be smart businessmen predicting Kinect will be sold out

They could be making a ton of profit for themselves....and the place they are lined up in seems pretty cool...it has bar's and restaurants.

And if what Gamespot writes is true, just imagine the disappointment of two of them when Kinect won't recognize them!

But you wouldn't get $150 dollars worth of stuff which you could probably sell for at least $100.

I'd probably wait in line half a day if I knew I was gonna get $150 bucks.

oh i understand why these guys are doing it, who wouldnt want $150 gift card. i was just talking about lines in general like when a console is released the line would be all the way down the street now to me thats sounds crazy and japan is worse they'd be queing at 4 in the evening to like 12 at night, if not longer
