360 ads plastered all over PS3 website


An observant blogger recently noticed something amusing on Gamespot's PS3 page. It looks like someone over at Microsoft's marketing department has a good sense of humor, as the PS3 page is covered with 360 ads and images. Sure, it's funny, but there are 360 ads on all the other pages, right? Nope, we checked and the only page to receive the 360 treatment was the PS3 page. In fact, all the other pages have blank backgrounds, so this was definitely intentional on someone's part -- or an ironic mistake. We were curious, so we checked IGN and 1UP, but saw nothing similar. It looks like Gamespot is the only site to fall victim to Microsoft's joke ... for now anyway.
