What’s Sony’s real motivation behind this? IMHO, it’s aimed at the stereotypical male audience who use facebook, probably especially those with an avatar as they don’t have a high enough self esteem, trying to play upon the stereotypically male uncontrollable urge to compete with others. How does this help Sony?

You’re on facebook, you see your friend has gained a trophy. Let’s not forget you’re a stereotypical male, which means you want to get that trophy, and get one more, or one better. What do you do? Pick up the game (or even better, buy it) and play! Would you like some DownLoadable Content with that? Only 99p for a screensaver or theme! Super size your gaming weapon for only £2.19!

Did you notice that you can only deposit funds in multiples of £5 into your PSN wallet? Did you notice that most DLC rarely cost a full pound? So what?

You’ll more than likely leave at least a penny in your PSN wallet. So? That penny stays in Sony’s bank, gaining interest for them, not for you. So? It’s only a penny. And?

How many people in the world have a ps3 and a penny (or two) in their PSN account?

Very smart, Sony, very smart!

Some say the offer runs up to xmas, others not too sure.

The line that got me, more or less, was if you don’t have a 360 + left for dead, then get this.

At the same time we have to consider Lost Planet 2 is on its way…

Opportunities… saving money… this is one of them… should we let it pass us by? Remember what happened with Modern Warfare 2? We got it for £28. It’s now back at the usual price of £45…
