In one of my favourite screwups ever, Sony has managed to somehow use a screenshot of the Xbox 360 racer, PGR3, to promote their Gran Turismo 4 game. GT4's trailer was meant to be used to demonstrate the PSP's abilities to play HD videos. However, someone screwed something up on the way...

Er, which picture are you referring to?

Because I believe GT5 (HD was cancelled according to GTPlanet.net) does have Ferraris and McLarens (again, according to GTPlanet) ...

I find it hard to believe that Sony would fuck up so badly, unless of course you took that screenshot yourself. In that case, XD

P.S. Got enough Gamerpoints there?

unfortunately they did fuck up that badly. this error was cited at most major gaming sites around the world. Whilst I don't think it's that big a problem, whoever was updating the site may have googled to find a screenshot, and accidently clicked on a PGR3 one, I can so imagine this being blown out of proportion by fanboys. Due to this, I think it's a hillarious stuff-up.

P.s. haha yes - i'm a gamerpoint whore, but after i got into the top 150 of the world, I had enough.
