I'm sure this will be an interesting topic

Sony has a small demo lounge for the PSP in Paris :

Right in the other side of the street, there is ... this :

It says: Keep your forces for this winter.

Discuss

Maybe that spray painted red font will replace the Spider-Man typeface on the PS3...


Somebody say something about the garbage can. I'm too lazy...

 

[Funky Papa]

Ha, that's awesome :lol

PS: Blimblim moved the trash can in front of Sony's lounge, I saw it!

 

[Do The Mario]

what if that was at like 6pm in the morning?

No one saw me, I SWEAR !

 

[Soul4ger]

The PSP Factory?

 

[u_neek]

The PSP Factory?

Yes - this is where they produce PSPs for the entire world... That's why it'll never get released in Europe.

AKA. How BlimBlim gets 250k unique visitors a month

Just kidding.

Seriously though. Isn't it illegal to even have a PSP in Europe? Talk about smacking down the fanbase.

He, such an image is not counted in my unique visitor stats (the official counter is a javascript/inline image), so it's free of charge . I did not even make a news about this, it's fun but not really news worthy.
Anyway, it's a demo lounge to prepare the PSP launch in september, it's quite common to do this here.

Damn Blim, how'd you like to take over news operations at the station I work at, that way I wouldn't have to see "news" about Tomcat and Katie 5 hours a day.

PSP is being demoed in Virgin and HMV in the UK. Thiy usually consists of a bored looking guy with a PSP chained to his wrist who knows very little about the machine or the games. One guy quoted me 16 plus hours battery time. The only games the demo are RR and wipeout, shame about the £180 price tag. Me I imported, cheaper you see Sony, sue me.

Where is that lounge? In the slums of Paris? Don't you have city employees who clean the streets?

 

[Borys]

:lol :lol :lol

The PSP Factory looks like some pub.
Or slums or bordello entrance.

Looks like MS Europe Marketing Team has finally woken up.

 

[Excelion]

I see Sony has a trash can ready for defective PSPs.

BlimBlim, is Heaven the marketting team for France again ?

 

[Blimblim]

I don't know if they are the ones behind this specific marketing stunt, but they sure did send me these photos at least

I actually don't remember Paris being so clean...

Are the toilets fully functional? That would be interesting

 

[Fuzzy]

At first I thought you were joking, then I noticed the PSPs attached to the different items.

Please get a large picture of the toilets, it's 100X funnier than the outside.

[Blimblim]

End of the story, Sony outpayed MS and had the offending ad removed from the store window. Bahaha.

 

[AB 101]

I want to be a Bill Gates mouthpiece like Blimblim when I grow up.

 

[Lord Error]

I'm not sure if something is lost in translation, but why does it say "Keep your *forces* for the winter"

 

[Blimblim]

Forces may not be the accurate translation I guess.

 

[Blimblim]

I want to be a Bill Gates mouthpiece like Blimblim when I grow up.

Yeah, the pay is great.

 

[Ninjarabe]

maybe:
keep your strength for the winter

 

[Blimblim]

Exactly. Sometimes the most simple words are the one I just can't think to use. Go figure.

[Blimblim]
