Sony promoting DS games

by JC Fletcher { Mar 21st 2007 at 10:00AM }

We have a shameful confession: sometimes we play games on other systems. Yes, there is a Playstation 2 in our stately Fanboy Manor, and it occasionally has a game in it. But our DS Fanboy Power is such that even the least Nintendo-like task we can think of-- buying a PS2 game-- becomes more Nintendo-centric in our presence.

We recently ordered a copy of Soul Calibur III from Sony's own online store, and were surprised by what we received today. The game was in there as expected, but there was a large glossy piece of paper in the package with it. Upon unfolding the paper, we found ... a Spectrobes poster? Why on Earth would Sony send people promotional posters for a DS game? Have they given up on their own little project? Just in case there was some Spectrobes-Sony connection in the companies involved or something, we checked the fine print on the poster, and found only Disney and Nintendo copyright information-- nothing about Sony.

Uhm, well wouldn't it be the manufacturers who put the poster in there? Not Sony...? So it's actually the manifacturers who are promoting DS, not Sony. Sorry to burst your bubble. =(

Maybe Nintendo has a mole inserting those posters in the packages?

Hush fool! Do you want them to suspect me?!

If you found the poster within the game case, then #1, ssuk, is right. It was Bandai Namco who gave you the poster, not Sony.

Otherwise, if you got a package with the game case in there and the poster seperately... then it's beyond me why Sony would promote a game not on their own systems.
