How much did M$ pay them to do this

Is it possible that one of their site admins just thought that would be a funny thing to do on the ps3 launch day, rather than being some sort of Gamespot 360 conspiracy?



The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.

Good find leo-j. Its a launch of a console they could of least given a full screen PS3 advertisement and shown a few games alongside and advertised the price and made a statement:"Limited supply only" PS3 launch date 11 November 2006.

We all hate Gamestop on here like I said in thread: "Gamestop are jerks" they rip us kids off to the max.

1. This is GAMESPOT. Not Gametop. Gamespot doesn't sell videogames.

2. Why the hell should they give advertisements way for free?


Give away advertising space Sony could of given them a free PS3 console.


Wow a whole PS3 for thousands of dollars in lost add revenue. Great Idea!

Or... if they really wanted to, they could use the 360 advertising money and buy one!  Not that giving one PS3 to a website really does anything.

Okay can people be banned for sheer mind hurting stupidity? Because seriously Leo-J is getting annoying. I have shown him before the difference between gamespot 360 and ps3 reviews. Yet he still babbles on like an insane homeless person. Allow me to demonstrate AGAIN.

Gamerankings stats for websites- Gamespot
The difference between the review from Gamespot and gamerankings average
Average for all gamespot -1.7%
Average for PS3 games -1.4%
Average for 360 games -1.3%
Average for Wii games -2.6%

So there you go. Gamespot is actually beneficially biased towards the PS3. Giving games a 0.3% higher score than the average game they review. They then are 0.1% more biased towards the 360. Taking into account achievements, better online service I would say that is actually a smaller difference than there should be.

Seriously you make posts with 0 understanding of how ANYTHING works. Microsoft will have paid for those ads specifically because it was the day the PS3 was launching. Just as Sony could choose to do so the day GeoW2 launches or whatever.



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

For some reason I just had a flash back of the moon landing thread.

Oh by the way the NFL is also bias against sony I mean they had an X-box superbowl ad.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

Yeah, I remember that. It was one of the many things that lead me to believe that GS is biased towards MS. Now I see it as nothing more than crafty advertising by MS, but I still believe that GS is somewhat biased towards MS, and biased against Sony and Nintendo.

pretty biased if you ask me

Leo-J said:
You know, this explains alot of things.

Leo-J said:
why do you think they always give PS3 games the lower reviews out of all the gameranking reviews?

Leo-J said:
if this doesnt prove a bias what does?

Leo-J said:
I never said this proves anything, dont put words into my mouth dude.

Wow...

Gamespot owns Gamerankings, just to let you know.
