Oh.. I think we have a little leeway for OT banter on this one ;) We learned how to repair paddling pools and beachballs (and blow up loco dolls) which is always useful with summer and kids and holiday accidents in the very near future. Hint:: don't smoke a spliff while relaxing in the kids pool.. the bombs burn holes leading to a sinking feeling and a soggy lawn ;)
Originally posted by fun2000: Your friend in nam is not lying. She has a modded PS2, and the modder was generous enough to relabel the PS2 to PS3.
Then the pirate selling games relabeled Assassins Creed 1 and called it Assassins Creed 2. This is called marketing.
Your friend is honest and thinks she plays AC2 on a PS3. In reality she is playing AC1 on a PS2.
LOL! PS2'S been in India for ages....nearly 95% of them chipped before purchase!!(Conveinient?) and well few for the riches...are once ditributed by Milestone Interactive and now Sony it self...
and PS3 was launched in India on 27 April 07 but never saw a single commercial! as of yet!?!
For all those who think India's real poor and all...Know your role!
India is a country of contrasts. As one of the asian tiger economies great things are going to happen in the next 10 years. BUT.. as it stands now the image of the country is of large numbers of nearly destitute people being exploited to provide cheap goods for western markets. This may give employment but obviously is only a one sided publicity which isn't a fair view of the situation. Large numbers must work in call centres, judging by the number of times we speak to Indians when calling a bank or customer service centre.
Lets see how sony get on with this. Interesting the ps3 isn't being advertised, mind you.. I haven't seen many media adverts for it here either, apart from the odd game which is available on all the others... MS push the 360 and almost every hour you will see Wii games or features promoted... Very strange.
