The Sony Goat fiasco
Confused[link]
NOTE: If the thought of scantily clad women and decapitated farm animals and intestines scare you don't bother reading.
Uh, yeah kind of a brow raiser to the extreme. I mean come on, you'd think the company battles with enough bad publicity about violence in videogames affecting children and this doesn't seem to help them at all. Don't get me wrong though, I'm about as anti-anti-violent videogames as one can get, but this was tactless. You can only assume though, that whoever planned the 'greek party' wasn't one of the sole representitives of Sony. I mean I eat meat, but I gotta question if the sacrifice was nessesary considering (if my history lesson memories neglect to fail me) greek parties didn't include animals as a sacrificial context.
And um, goats are cute?
Still though, it got Sony in the papers. Pft! Like the company really needs publicity...
Feel free to debate but keep it clean people.

Yea, umm... Nicely... original Sony. Just a TAD too overboard.

I agree, it was a pretty sick stunt for a video game..
My favourite line is the caption of the picture on the second page.... "Stuff the goat. Grab a look at the female on the left."... refering to the topless girl at the launch. Oh yes, classy.
Who wants a playstation anyway. WWWwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!
Oh, and I hope that you survived your friend's cooking ...

Still, the statement on Sony requiring some good press to sell strongly has already been echoed, and it certainly isn't good that the European PS3's backwards compatability isn't as strong as the PS2 to the PS1 (so much for playing Kingdom Hearts on a PS3). If there's anything Sony needed to focus on, it's to try and maintain their appeal to the fanbase that grew with them rather than trying to decapitate goats.
That said, I'll never let my PS2 go at this rate (though I think mine needs replacing soon) but I am looking ahead for the next gen games. And I'll only get a Wii if every last game wasn't Mario. As good as those games are, I want to see more focus and diversity from the guys at Nintendo (though I do like some Zelda and Starfox every now and again).
