    PS3 "advert"?

    Driving into work this morning (Hyde Road, manchester if you must know) I saw a massive, massive advert on one of the, erm, advertising hoardings. Not an actual Sony advert, but a huge plain white ad with bold red text reading "PLAYSTATION 3" and a £1.50 per minute number for people to call for more information. The small print said the contact details were some industrial estate in Liverpool I think.

    Anyone else seen these?

    Its not a "con" if you choose to call the number.

    It like me putting up a sticker that says "Ferrari F430" with an 0898 number - your choice to call, I've not said anything about giving you a Ferrari or any information about it.

    its a con because some of the adverts promise you can get a ps3 before the end of the year if you call the number.. which.. you don't
