Saw this on Engadget, gotta be the best freebie in a long time.

BAM! man this is better than even Zero Hour. Damn you sony! shouldve hooked us up =p.

 

[Gshocker]

WOW.. now that is a reason to camp out.. I bet that upped the press hype just because of this giveaway. Maybe took some of the edge off of the smaller crowds and higher price.

Son of a bitch!

So how are sales doing in Europe?

Funny to see more and more lights on as the day progresses in Europe from the folding program.

I wish Nintendo would have given me a brand new SDtv when I bought my Wii. The horror!

 

[Zoglog]

It's kind of annoying.

I waited just as long at launch and in the cold and nothing from Sony. Those brits got to wait indoors, got free drinks! and a 46" Bravia TV.. Crazy shit

Don't forget about the free copies of Resistance .

son of a bitch! I waited 30 hours in front of Target and all I got was this Lousy PS3. LOL! LOL!!............*cries*

 

[whoknows]

Not cool. I can understand why Sony would do that, but it's still not fair for us people that bought it at launch.

 

[MisterModest]

The PS3 costs $835 in England. They better damn well give something free with it.

 

[Zoglog]

Yeah basically it was what sony decided to do instead of give celebrities a bunch of lame freebies. It's very similar to Xbox and the Zero hour event which was sweet, though we didn't get bigass TVs at Zero Hour. I think a big event like that would be much better for the Fans since everyone can apply to go.

[Psykodelik]

You know if we got TV's at launch...all hell would break loose. But then again..damn lucky bastids.

 

[panasonic]

well it is the apology for the 4 month delay, and they had to do everything right so it wouldn't be considered a problem.

Probably only if it was in a red state. There are some civilized parts of the US.

I would really like you to fully explain what you meant by this.

 

[David85]

Hell if I got a free HD TV with a PS3 I would buy a PS3!

Don't pay them any attention.

Actually - I reread what I wrote, and I need to clarify.

Replace "free TV" with "free pork rinds" and my post makes alot more sense

 

[killthebunnies]

About ****ing time Sony did something good for Europe.

It doesn't quite make up for the crappy backwards compatability and delayed release date though...
