MS has a dig at Sony

[Steve]

Sony launch a showroom for the PSP in France. Microsoft put up witty posters in the laundrette across the street.

In response, Microsoft hired itself some advertising space in the window of a laundry just across the road, putting up giant Xbox 360 posters displaying the message "Gardez vos forces pour cet hiver".

Which translates as "Save your strength for winter" - winter, of course, being the season Xbox 360 will hit the shops.

Microsoft's little stunt left Sony fuming and after just one day the posters were removed, reportedly because Sony offered the laundry owners an even bigger cheque.

Whoops!

Good on em tbh.

If two multinationals want to get into a pathetic poster campaign squabble then at least someone can make something of it.

There's a comment you don't see every day

You can just picture the fanboys on the console forums now, foaming at the mouth and bitching at each other "ps3 is teh best!" "NO U SUX XBOX360 ROOLZ" "m$ are well out of order" "u r gay PS3 fan" "LOL ur jokin xbox360 is crap" "ps3 sux ur mom ROFL!!!1" and so on...

If sony and MS want to play stupid games with each other, so be it. Just means lower prices for us. Still haven't decided which way i'm going yet. It would be nice to havea 360 or PS3 on release date, but I think i'll wait patiently....
