    I saw one of these kicking about last week. I went back to get a pic for Kotaku and some fiend had removed it.

    Sony are the kings are marketing to their target audience..

    Remember the whole PS3 slim rollercoaster? A superb lesson in viral marketing at its BEST:
    - leaked factory photots
    - “fake” video of the Phillipines
    - listings on European websites
    - deny all along
    - heck they even “threatened” legal action against sites publishing those pictures

    I hope I see one of these Ratchet posters here in Melbourne!

      You’d think that they would put them in highly visible locations, right? This one was located at the end of a cul-de-sac where there’s not much foot traffic.

      Great outside the box approach… I wanted my own collectors Ed, but all the tags were already taken.

    What do the tags at the bottom say? There were a few of these posters outside my school today, but the tags were all already taken.

      It just repeats the phone number and web address that you see in the main part of the ad.

    isn’t this illegal since it’s considered littering in some suburbs?
