Microsoft secret agents resort to subterfuge at PS3 Euro-launches

[devilscallmedad]

Microsoft pulled no punches yesterday during the European launch of the PlayStation 3. Deciding that deviousness was the order of the day, they had agents in both London and Paris throwing monkey wrenches into the works at Sony-sponsored events that included:

• Handing out chairs to the weary fans waiting in the PS3 lines that were printed with a link to this site on the back of them.
• Sending SMS messages to game journalists saying "The Xbox 360 team wishes you a good night."
• Driving boats past the Sony event adorned with "XBOX 360 HEARTS YOU" signs.
• Arming themselves with whistles and blowing them from rooftops to drown out the noise of Sony PR.
