Playstation 3 Forced To Create “Showrooms” To Help Market Their Drowing Console

Sony to host 3rooms event for playstation 3
Sony’s latest and greatest attempt to pull the PS3 out of it’s murky money sinkhole has been to get top designer Tom Dixon to design plush and elegant rooms to showcase the PS3 in. The rooms will contain workshops showcasing what the PS3 and PSP can do for you in your living room. Does Sony really think PS3 fans are that stupid that they don’t know how to use their own products? Retarded! This laughable attempt at popularizing the PS3 is one of the poorest marketing campaigns we’ve seen in a long time. Rather than showcasing the system, Sony feels the current lackluster titles of the PS3 would be better set off by being accompanied with soft leather sofas, pretentious cocktail bars and gentle piano music playing in the background.

“PlayStation and award winning designer Tom Dixon, with the help of some fresh new design talent along the way, created 3ROOMS to be your space as much as ours. It’s a modern East End apartment with a twist; here we host the most intimate of house parties for friends.”

“This innovative and inspiring space in East London is a much-needed place where creativity and technology coexist to form some great events. Versatile in design and rich in style, 3ROOMS is a place to communicate, relax and surround your self with the latest technology and wax lyrical about digital and its place in the real world.”

This sounds more like something you’d see at a pompous Apple media event.

The Playstation 3 doesn’t need that shit surround it. It’s awesome, right out of the box and easy to set up. This event is something that a fag like jay-zee would go to.

This story’s shit… I could definitely see myself getting into one of these events. And you know what? It would be fucking awesome. To sit around drinking cocktails and playing PS3 all night long… how can you tell me that sounds bad??

The 360 couldn’t compete with this type of upscale event. Xbox is for garbage boys and halo fags. Go Sony!

Nintendo did this type of event ages ago. Sony’s trying to copy things, once again.
