A series of photos taken of the display have appeared on a flickr site overnight. They show a life size colour picture of the new Sony console above two advertising posters.  But lurking behind the console picture is an actual game console. No! not a new white version of the Sony electronic marvel, but instead an Xbox 360. Whacky! Why was it there in the first place? Apparently it was running a screen somewhere showing Harvey Norman adverts. The display has since been taken down (this may not have been a big job). When queried about the incident by the Sydney Morning Herald; A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment, but Sony Australia's Adrian Christie described the display as "alarming news".
Christie contacted the store and discovered; "It was sort of an overzealous merchandising mistake, he [the store's proprietor] explained to me," said Christie. "The display had been up 24 hours and they were using it as a playback device to show Harvey Norman ads, I would have a really big problem if they were in any way deceiving people by pretending that it was PS3 content." |
