They wouldn't do that.

A. The PS3 is going to be just as good if not better than the 360. (It isn't going to be worse.)

B. A huge company like Sony wouldn't sink that low.

C. It wouldn't actually make a difference.

You have to love how so many people are throwing their opinion in on this article...WITHOUT EVEN READING THE ARTICLE!

THREE (3) days ago, the article was ammended:

EDIT: It has emerged that shortly after we published this article, 1UP.com removed the source from their website. No reason was given; although subsequent reports suggest questions surrounding the validity of their source. We apologise for any confusion.

The original source from the first post of this thread even declares the story bogus.

Even if the story is bogus for this case, I've personally seen it when the first XBOX came out.

I saw a sony rep talking to one of the Best Buy employees for a couple minutes. After he was finished, the employee came up to me and asked if I needed any help. I simply stated that I was here to buy an XBOX and wanted to know if they had any available. He stated that the did, but strongly recommend I did not buy one. He claimed many falsehoods about the system, even saying that there was no broadband support, and only dialup.

I came back a couple weeks later and heard the same employee telling the same lies to another customer in the store, and then leading them into the playstation section.

Now, I can't be 100% sure, but when I see a Sony rep (he had a sony name badge and polo on) talking to a BB employee, then the employee talking trash about the system, one can only assume something is going on.

I believe that all competitors do this to some extent, its just the ones that get caught that look foolish.

I doubt sony would do something like this, but then again looking at some of Ken Kutaragi stupid actions and the whole cd rootkit thing it wouldnt surprise me very much either.

BTW Sony dont need to pay off people to bad name the 360 we have already had over a million post on neowin, manyy anti-360 zealots have already bad named the 360 because they are total sony fanboys.

I dont wnat to start another flame war but what I say has some validity to it.

According to the following link, it seems that Sony has been paying people off to spread rumours about failing Xbox360's.

you guys are forgetting one thing. Your focus is aimed toward Sony, what about Microsoft?

What if Microsoft sent a guy to promote PS3 over XBOX 360 and then get found out, thus giving Sony a bad name?

LOL just kidding but if everyone starts doing conspiracy theories and this and that, it's all for nothing. Both systems will do good and will be good systems, so who cares what happens, how a company markets their product and the actual product are different.

The source looks soo f*ckin dodgy. I did not believe one word of that article at all since it was so sensationalist. The amendment at the end of it speaks for itself - I can't believe so many XBOX fanboys accepted it for truth.

You know, I wonder how one can say that considering there are so many people who've bashed Sony lately over Howard Stringer, Ken Kutargi and the DRM rootkit issue.

And like countless others in this forum you use the DRM fiasco as a convenient scapegoat to bash anything related to Sony. :rolleyes:

So apparently you missed when Sony FAKED reviews of their movies to get better ratings?????? :unsure:

Yeah SONY the ETHICAL company. BY the way, the DRM issue is not the only thing people can use to crap on SONY for, it was just one of many.

Please....for the love of god stop posting such threads. Honestly, I don't mean to be a dick but all you're doing is giving the fanboys reason to come out of their caves and defy logic with their fanboyism comments.

Everytime I come to neowin lately it's "OMG SONY LIED ABOUT PS3 MOWING YOUR LAWN OMGWTFBBQ XBOX360 FTW."

or "ZOMG XBOX360 ATE MY DOG BECAUSE IT'S DEFECTIVE."

Just try and ignore negative news on Xbox360 or PS3. It's better in the end.
