I guess its an excuse to purchase it.

Can you get in on the PSN Store?

With regards the aforementioned executive saloon from (MG) Rover, I much preferred the Jaguar S-Type released around the same time that also offered similar retro styling.

If you recall the advertising campaign for the Jaguar, it featured the music of Propellerheads & Shirley Bassey with a track called “History Repeating”.

Now, I don’t want to pour scorn on anybody before they have arrived properly, but if this is the Buzz! Brainchild of the incoming Chief Marketing Officer and Group Executive of Sony to replace the outgoing SCEE President, then I hope it is not his only plan for the PlayStation brand.

It is a great way to promote your products, generate free word-of-mouth advertising, and reduced your marketing budget by allowing the general public to come up with all the ideas & (if you’ll pardon the phrase) footage for the various campaigns to support the initiative, but it would take more than integration with YouTube to sell the PS3 concept to punters already established with their own multimedia online experience.

The NetFlix movie subscription service is rumoured to be coming to the PS3, though, so all is not lost.

If the US market receives this boost to the PS3, then European may then find that the cast-off video-on-demand service we were expecting last year may arrive at our shores soon after.

Watch this space, I guess…

How do they make sure the top of the leaderboard isn’t filled with cheaters that would actually be rubish in a real quiz though?

SCEE have also launched a joint advertising campaign with the UEFA Champions League which involves PlayStation owners posting clips of their footballing skills on the PlayStation YouTube page, the finalists will showcase their skills at the Champions Festival in Rome and the winner will become the ball carrier at this years Champions League Final (also in Rome)!

The activity is the first by SCEE to incorporate user-generated content into a major campaign, and the first time the brand has looked to directly link itself with football, in something that marketing types call ‘mindshare’.

I wonder if any of these new marketing events are anything to do with SCEE’s incoming new President & CEO?

I used to have a 1990 Vauxhall Nova (that was redesigned & rebadged as the Opel, or Vauxhall, or Chevrolet, or even Holden Corsa).
Does your Vauxhall variety still have the problem where the steering wheel (apart from being on the ‘wrong’ side) isn’t in the centre of the driving position?

This reminds me… Three Speech & I never did get to race on the streets of Los Angeles or elsewhere…

PS. “SingStar” Trophies incoming tomorrow!

Sounds like our “farewell to Three Speech” PlayStation Home party is going to involve both your vocal talents & your prestidigitation skills on the dance floor, E-ROLE!

I know the new Star Trek movie is almost boldly going to be upon us, but am I in a time warp, Scotty?

Shame the Mini is not the Cooper S (or John Cooper Works) version, but a free car for being clever is worth a punt.

Does it come kitted-out with PS3 or PSP goodies like the Citroen C-Crosser?

No? Phew! Thank goodness.

See you online…

Woo!! I’m going places that other posters fear to thread.
