- mousy, on 10/12/2007, -53/+230I'd have to be drunk to even consider buying a PS3.
- alevel27mage, on 10/12/2007, -10/+86I'm sorry, but this has been on Digg at least two times before (on the front page!):

http://digg.com/gaming_news/Microsoft_NZ_Tease_Sony_With_Beer
I really hate to call dupe, but when 3 stories of identical subject matter (although the NZ one is different) hit the homepage in one day, it's a bit ridiculous. - eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -16/+80he's right, though. matched feature for feature the 360 costs more.
are we talking not having beer now, or not having beer forever?
because I will take the ps3 over beer now, but if you take away beer forever, so help me god I will end you. - Easty, on 10/12/2007, -12/+65LET THE BEER SNOBBERY COMMENCE!
- jiggawoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+51Agreed, the reason we export Fosters is cause no self respecting Aussie would touch the *****.
- paintist, on 10/12/2007, -19/+63Gee... I don't know. Microsoft + Beer or PS3 + Aiding Cancer research. It's like some weird good versus evil dilemma.
- picto, on 10/12/2007, -8/+50Beer...no contest. Now if the PS3 also came with the Miller Lite girls, then that's another story.
- ImYourRealDad, on 10/12/2007, -6/+48I'd rather the PS3. Fosters is disgusting.
- eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -12/+42If you can afford a ps3 or a 360, I don't think that not having enough beer is going to be an issue.
I have a ps3, and I am drinking beer, and I am happy. - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+35If they had used Old Milwaukee that stack could be a hell of a lot taller...
- zumpiez, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34I think you misunderstand this.
- JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28I'm Digging you down because your comment is stupid.
- harvinator24, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22If the cheap college beer of Natural Ice was used, that room would be full.
- zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Ironic how most likely 75+% of all morons who dugg the *same* article *again* are too young to drink beer in the first place.
- pathy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21... Why?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23"Gee... I don't know. Microsoft + Beer or PS3 + Aiding Cancer research."
WOW!!!
"Aiding cancer research". That's now an incentive to buy a PS3? That's the ticket; guilt-trip people into buying a console!
(you have a PC, you DO know that this has been available for PC for YEEEEEARS, right?) - andyrobo60, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18Nintendo should take that pic and add a wii + more beer then ask the same question. Then I know which I would pick.
- dicerandom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Actually the Fosters you get in the US is brewed in either Canada or the USA under license from the Foster's Group.
That doesn't change the fact that it's basically kangaroo piss, though. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Foster's is *****, that's why we don't drink it, we export it to tasteless Europeans.
- mcsloy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12bloody Fosters !
That gnat piss !
give me real beer (Guiness) - avatarpalin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Damn right!! I don't know why people think Australians drink Fosters, as the joke goes we export the crap. Now Boags Premium, thats a tasty beer!!
- zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11"in Europe you can buy it at 16"
You aren't doing anything to refute my original point there now are you? People in here are routinely acting like 5 year olds right now. - mr_bako2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10this has to be the most pathetic and idiotic marketing strategy i have ever seen. dugg, becuase i have nothing against the poster, but microsoft... pathetic.
I'll tell you how i wouldnt spend it, on a black xbox360 from a company that's becoming more hypocritical as time goes on, they are going to be up a creek right next to sony pretty soon if they don't stop this. - MoeB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Ew fosters? Makes sense because you'd get the most volume of beer if you buy the cheapest kind. Save your liver buy a pS3
- Fastamber, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13That is bunch of Foster's. That Australian for crappy beer. At least offer good beer.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+19Microsoft is becoming lame as *****
Acting like a bunch of ***** little children fighting for attention, like the old school bully - zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14You sound just as childish as Microsoft have been acting lately.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Can you install linux on some beer and rip blu-ray DVDs, install emulators, and mythTv/LinuxMCE so it can be used as a decent media center?
If so, sure.
PS: If you bought a 360 with the HD-DVD player, which most people have, you're paying just as much for a PS3, so really, what does it matter which console you have? - vancanucksfan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9microsoft feels inferior to sony thats why they resort to these childish tactics. if they were so confident in themselves they would never do stuff like this. and what's with the black xbox 360? it's like they are trying to make the xbox360 a ps3. black color, hdmi,bigger hard drive,similar price.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11This just in...Microsoft has issued a response...
"I know you are but what am I"
also when asked to comment Nintendo was quoted for saying:
"pwned" - zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"Plus if you drink enough beer you become attractive to members of the opposite sex, in sharp contrast to the PS3."
Sorry, you have that the other way around. When guys drink beer they become LESS attractive to the opposite sex. You got yourself a mite confused there.
Also, if anyone starts to talk about reliability issues, I think we should start and end at the XBOX 360 as it doesn't exactly have a glowing track record does it? - blueRAP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Exchanging the Fosters beer for Guiness instead?
Brilliant! - KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10They wouldn't be trying to pwn Sony if they weren't afraid of them. Fact is, PS3 is a better deal considering everything included with the PS3 vs. everything that isn't on the 360. The biggest problem Sony has right now when it comes to competing with MS is that the library of good games isn't very big yet. That will all change and you'll see Sony heading toward the top once again. If MS wasn't afraid of Sony, why would they be dangling cases of beer in front of your face?
- Ulvund, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Best comment on the site:
"I broutgh a wee andd im currrentlly tottaly wastedsd/" - TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Wine coolers
- jm1234567890, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I like to drink alcohol
- Gizza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@paintist
Well actually, going by that chart, GPUs are actually doing the best.
Also, they chose a crappy beer. - zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9Wow, you are like, so cool, like. I mean, what a trendsetter.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So I'll be clean and sober for life if I buy an Apple?
- DforSpiD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Irrelevant because ps3 users drink cognac /sarcasm
- crapbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ewww fosters isn't beer. It's more closely related to urine. Aussies export that crap, but we don't drink it.
- 3dom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He has a point. They chose fosters because its the cheapest on the market here, literally only about a tenner a crate in some shops.
- grumpyrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For the benefit of the non-Aussies here: No Australian's I know buy Fosters, ever.
- soulpiercer7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll take the 360 and some bud.
o and it's not the kind you drink :) - mr_bako2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Oh it's a PR disaster, how pathetic is it when a company has to stoop to a kids level to keep their dominance in a market... the hypocricy microsoft shows with this little campaign "what would you buy with $480"... seriously? correct me if im wrong but the black 360 is about that much... they are using their marketing to say that $480 is wayyyy too much for a console, that makes very little sense.
I see where your coming from even though 16-20 can't drink so thats not the best marketing they could have used... - eatApeach993, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@andyrobo60
"wii + more beer"
Hooray for being drunk and trying to move around quickly! - Daveoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought playing a Wii while drunk would make it more fun?
I mean, it makes everything else more fun... - Kourgin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1... it was a compliment aimed at xbox
- TorrentFox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry, you fail. Please go away now.
- eLuminx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3im drunk out my ass so i choose BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!.
