That's where Microsoft showed its ugly by crashing Sony's PS3 launch party by
offering free beer (and discounts?). That was Australia. They did the same
type of mischiefs in Paris in London (even worse). Later they wonder why
people still hate Microsoft...
Another article from ITWire predicated that PS3 will win at the end. It was 2-3
months ago and this conclusion came from some study. Remember that Blu-ray is
winning the battle in the living room and at present it is trying to woo
people by offering new features (too little, too late?).
