My old roommate made a bet of 80 USD with me that the PSS3 slim is fake just now.

What should I do with the money, get a couple of Dualshocks?

Buy yourself 3 or 4 copies of Monster Hunter 3.

 

[Nonoriri]

Tomfoolery

:lol :lol

 

[Rapping Granny]

:lol

fucking idiots.

 

[Loudninja]

Too easy :lol

 

[Doc Evils]

The saddest part about this is that they pretty much say they think it's fake in the article, but they post it anyway! :lol

They even watermark the image just incase.:lol

 

[Hanmik]

Did anyone else get this email from PlayStation(R) Asia?

ok you posted in the wrong thread... my bad mate..!

 

[chubigans]

do a online gamestop add, so you dont need to show text coming through the back, say a person "high up" got the email early

That's be a bit too easy to fake though. I think faking a computer SKU thing would be really fun though (having Slim show up in the sku database).

Hmmmm...

 

[dallow_bg]

Chubs.. wow. :lol

 

[BeeDog]

Awesome. :lol

 

[deepbrown]

So I was bored last night and wanted to get my hand on some quick internet fame.
And that's how it's done. :lol

:lol

Hmmmm...

yeah, i think someone took a photo of that, while on a computer. good job tho, once they see this thread theyre gonna be like "f this kid"

 

[KZObsessed]

The perfectionist in me is crying over those small details (and the dollar sign! Gah! How could I miss that!). Maybe I should leak out a more perfected one. :lol

I had to restrain myself from hiding the wrestlers in the pic, btw. :lol

Oh man I should have totally done that though!

I think that would have killed me :lol

 

[Captain Pants]

:lol

Tag this man!

Hahahahahahahaha

Well done!

 

[cakefoo]

I can't believe you guys don't believe that K-Mart ad!

...I spent thirty minutes in photoshop on that one!



:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[patsu]

The winner is Gizmondo, who asked me some follow up questions AFTER posting it on their site.

And that's how it's done. :lol

Gizmondo and N4G published your fake ad ? You should sell the story to an old-school, reputable press. They'd expand it to critic how new age media outlet s*ck.

 

[MotherFan]

Fly my pretty fly! :lol

Lol its spreading like herpes in a college town. Chubs, congratulations, this is absolute gold. I am just hoping kotaku picks it up as well lol.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Bwahaha :lol

I wish Kotaku and Joys-tiq bought it though, that would have been epic. Maybe they will later.

Gizmondo didn't really buy it, but that didn't stop em from posting it! I wish more newspapers would do the same.

"The USA Today is reporting that John Hughes died due to a cocaine/heroin overdose, according to several insider sources. While we here at USA Today don't believe this story, we felt it was our duty to report on it."

http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/form...6-steps-neogaf-forum-plays-prank-$1318636.htm

Ahhhhh, fun's over I guess.

Sadly too late, chubbi caved in too quickly.

You're probably right. Phooey.

 

[patsu]

Ahhhhh, fun's over I guess.

You revealed your hand too fast !


EDIT: There's always the next event. ^_^

 

[deepbrown]

You're probably right. Phooey.

Your epic post proving it's false is all over twitter lol

 

[chubigans]

Well I did the email last night...so I figured after ten hours if they didn't post it, they probably weren't. Plus they were likely tipped off by the obvious cakefoo shop and the small errors.

I won't make those same mistakes again.

edit: twitter? Really? :lol

Did you just send in the Ps3 portion because the 20GB 360 and NCAA 09 are pretty dead giveaways.

Great job none the less your "internet" is in the mail

Tra la la

Yup. Jonathan Ross tweeted it.

 

[Das-J]

And that's how it's done. :lol

Indeed it is... bravo sir! :lol

 

[MotherFan]

Someone can still make a Gamestop ad and claim it was leaked by a district manager at one of the meetings or some shit. Blogs will gobble that one up. Need a new pic though

 

[deepbrown]

Cakefoo needs to move around the controller and make lots of diff pics of the slim - like the ones Sony releases...they do lots of close up angles etc.

This. Keep those bloggers on their toes! :lol

 

[alba]

awesome

 

[Ettie]

Kotaku won't pick it up as is

Spoiler

because they get their rumor content from GAF

but they might 'debunk' it.

 

[nny]

goddammit chubigans :lol :lol

 

[agaru]

OK, cakefoo and chubigans are the stars of this thread. :lol

 

[panda21]

yeah kotaku aren't going to post that, its just a bad shop, not something believable like metal gear soda.

hi mr kotaku 'journalist' lurker!

 

[yellowjacket25]

Wow Chubs, I cant believe the Kmart ad was you. Awesome work. Much better then the fake Best Buy ad.

 

[StealthGoblin]

5 days until this can be put to bed. Part of that makes me happy, part of that makes me sad.

PS3 slim is the gift that keeps on giving. It will never end until an announcement.

Unless they hold it back for TGS.

It which case this thread is going to become a total shitstorm.

This. The placemet of the controller is giving away all of the fakes :lol

 

[DMeisterJ]

Become?

 

[Ettie]

Become?

In which case the category of the current shitstorm will be upgraded. There will be 'journalists' wandering around in the howling wind and blowing shit and everything.

 

[captive]

Wow awesome work Chubs.
