This move makes sense when considering the dwindling interest in the Halo franchise especially so with Halo 2 barely managing to outsell Halo 1 on a userbase almost twice as large.
Could this be the last desperate throw of the dice before MS puts the Halo series to bed once and for all?

This pretty much confirms this site is a joke.
yea, because MS marketing people got together, and thought “hey, we need to go into 1 store, in the UK, and harness the shear awesomeness of teh blu-rays.” maybe your ‘many years as gaming journalists’ would have taught you that sometimes, people on the retail level, fail to differ between video game systems, leading to odd occurrences as these. hence a halo trailer on a PS kiosk… plus, not like theres any PS3 games to show. once again, you guys makes me laugh my ass off.
Thats pretty hilarious. Totally fake, but hilarious. Wheres the article about how a Sony employee went onto Wikipedia to change some information about HALO 3? Oh wait, here it is….
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/14404/Sony-Trashes-Halo-3-on-Wikipedia/
Looks like Sony is still scared of Halo… As they should be. Never mind the fact that HALO 3 is already estimated to break the single day entertainment record with over 130 million dollars in one day!. If you honestly think the hype over HALO is dwindling then that is the worst case of wishful thinking I have ever seen. Im sure Microsoft is just losing so much money on this pesky HALO franshise that they cant wait to stop making these games. lol and Im pretty sure HALO 2 still has better overall reviews than anygame released on the PS3. Dont be jealous, just accept it. One day the PS3 will have a good game released. Until then, you just have to justify why you wasted 600 dollars for a shiny George Foreman grill.
Yes, that’s what happened, never mind that halo 3 has already sold over a million copies on pre-orders alone, microsoft must be shitting a brick… Or someone put a 360 in the wrong box…
This is sad. Game shops set up Playstation 3 booths and find nothing to display, they decide to play the trailer for a superior Xbox 360 game on that booth instead.
The guy in the video, you know, the laughing guy, is better off going offline and having wet dreams about Halo coming to the PS3. You’re pathetic.
it was the only way to get people to look at a ps3
i love how you say the halo fan base is dwindling when halo 3 already has over 1,000,000 fully paid pre-orders
how much has resistance sold?
SDF must be a Xbox-fansite. No Playstation-fan in his right mind would dare to call this good for the PS3.
I was told that if I’m in need of a good laugh to check out this site and boy were they right. Keep up the hilarity guys superb lol
This site sucks! How do you even attempt to call yourselves “journalists”? But hey, if I payed $600 for a system and had no games to play, I would probably start up a shitty web site and post bogus news articles that will get a chuckle out of us 360 owners (hell, even the PS3 owners with half a brain have to laugh at this stuff too).
Hahahahahaahahaha!
AAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH,
heh heh hem…

BWAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
DUDE YOUR A RETARD, IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO EVEN GLANCE AT THE PEICE O SHIT 3
Keep it up guys!
You are my daily source of entertainment. Kind of like Fox news.
By “Years” you mean “three months” right?
The fact that the Halo 3 theatric trailer is being played on a television with a Playstation 3 skin over it, is the choice of the store, not Microsoft, you fucking morons.
Or maybe it’s that the store was hoping that people would assume Halo was on PS3 so they could finally fucking sell one! What game does the PS3 have to be proud of, Killzone 2? Yeah, fucking, right. No one liked the original, so why the hell would you make another?!?!
In conclusion, suck a cock you fucking losers, 360 forever, PEACE!
Beano, you hit the nail on the head! These guys are absolutely not in their right minds… they are feverishly trying anything to justify that $600 paperweight.
It’s sad that this retail shop in the UK had nothing to show on the PS3 so they had to go with a Halo 3 trailer instead. That pretty much sums up the situation with PS3 games….
… well at least you could watch some movies on it.
HAHAHAHAHA
So… are we supposed to bow down to the superior video playback capability of the PS3?
If the PS3 is such a great platform, why do you guys even feel the need to defend Sony and the PS3 with this site?
Actually, you should rename it for what it really is… PS3FanboyDefenseForce. Because lord knows everyone else is laughing at you and not with you.
Do you realize this is something stores do with kiosks that are given to them for free when the kiosk itself is selling some thing that does NOT sells? They just use it to sell something they know will sell.
If anything, this video shows me that in this store, they wont bother to push PS3 games even if the chain forces them to have the kiosk.
“last desperate roll of the dice”
you are aware that Halo 3 has sold a million copys already and it isnt even out yet. A million copys before release, you know what? that is more than killzone 2 is going to sell in its lifetime
“Many years as gaming journalists.”
wow, don’t make me laugh. With you horrible journalism, and just as bad writing you couldn’t get a job as a journalist anywhere. Which is probably why you made this site.
I’d assume that you are some nerds that met on a PS3 forum, an decided…”Hey! Lets get together and make a site, dedicated entirly to lying, an bashing, in an attempt to make 360 look bad.
Well, bad news…you failed. You site is considered a joke, and I doubt that even the most hardcore Sony fanboys have the least bit of respect for your website.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ahahahahhahahahahahahahaha!
If only the 360 didn’t catch on fire when you try to play videos on it. Then this all wouldn’t be a problem.
So someone put the wrong thing on the wrong console. if any corperations where involved(which they werent) it was sony, trying to sell ps3s. Hell, I wouldnt be suprised if Halo 3 outsold the ps3 in its lifetime.
Um actually thats Sony’s fault you moron. Microsoft has nothing to do with that. Actually this isn’t the first time a Microsoft game has been advertised on a Sony system. Sony did the same thing trying to pass off PGR 3 as Grand Turismo 5 on the PS3. Sony loves to lie to public, its a shame they keep stealing Microsofts game footage and showing it on their system as one of their own games. You think Bill Gates would sue but I guess he’s rich enough and just gets a good chuckle out of it.
You people are absolutely batshit crazy.
Seriously, this transcends fanboyism, because even fanboys aren’t stupid enough to think this has anything to do with sony and microsoft, as opposed to a bunch of blockbuster employees messing with a display.
Ever think the staff at the store did htis themselves to genrate interest in the PS3 since no one seems to give a shit? I mean seriously if you’re trying to sell the damn things and they just aren’t trick people into thinking the BEST game to play would be ocming out for it right! By the way did I tell you Sony Defense Force are fucking assholes who suck at life?!
gaming journalists.
Do they realize that it’s a desperate attempt by Sony to hitch a ride on Halo 3′s coattails?
The really sad thing is all these comments are about 80% or more 360 fans lol. Sony fanboys…where are you??
The preorders of Halo 3 have already outsold Resistance. This site is a joke.
phoun, not even a Sony fanboy can defend the idiocy of the authors who run this site.
Where are the Sony fanboys you say? Just reading these news and having a laugh off the sad and pissed 360 bots. It’s so pathetic how they all assemble to defend their poor Halo 3 and their Microsoft console, it almost looks like they are afraid of something. Dreamcasts’ demise it’s still a nightmare to most of them, that’s why they are so bitter.
