I went to gamestop about a week ago, and all over the store they had PS3 slim posters and the "It only does everything" slogan, and the $299 price, everyone was buying one, it felt like sony finally got it right with there advertisements, and people were finally looking at the ps3 thanks to the lower price and what not.. but, the elite just had a price cut, today i go to gamestop, and guess what I see? Posters all over the store, not one poster advertising the $299 PS3 slim, but posters saying "the best nexgen experience is now only $299, XBOX 360 ELITE" and it showed a black 360 with a white/green background. Microsoft imo has stolen sony's thunder "ADVERTISEMENT" wise already on retail outlets, and I also went to best buy, and saw 360 ads everywhere, not any PS3 slim ads, but did see the ps3 slim itself.

I see microsoft taking over the TV with advertisements as well.. eclispsing sony's advertising campaign, I just wonder why they didnt do this last generation?

That's more of copy cat than anything, tbh.

Well, Sony doesn't have as much lee way with the financial trouble they've been having =/

If you look at this weeks ads in the US, the PS3 slim is nowhere to be found. It's all the 360 price drops. So much for people saying Microsoft did this at the last minute. These ads are done a month or so ahead of time.

/\ True. I dont shop at gamestop ever but on the outside of the store there was Ad's for Rock Band 6 or whatever. There should be ads for the new price(more important than slim IMO) all over the place. Sony needs to pony up the money to get their ads pushed to the storefront.

the only ad there is in retails around here in ontario canada is for wii

probably because PS2 was already too far into winning that gen, sort of like how the wii is this gen. Microsoft knows they cant compete with them if theyre already million of consoles behind

Sony probably knows that NA is a lost cause. Didn't they reveal that there is a 100 million euro budget for the EU ads? The NA budget is probably a fraction of that. MSFT is exactly opposite.

Euro will be a lost cause as well, if Sony doesnt cut the price further, 250 vs 150 for a 360 in europe?

You guys are such downers.
No company is a lost cause out of the 3, my god.
