    Default EBGames attacks PSP's weakpoint for massive damage.

    "Trade the past..." just makes it sting a little more. Even though it's inappropriate. Didn't the PSP come out after the DS? Though I guess the DSlite counts as being newer.

    So yeah, if you have an EBgames, here's a flyer for your reference. Thinking of getting a DS lite and have one of the 3 other portables? Here's your chance.

    I just saw this over at the 1up boards. Likely flamewar to ensue.

    At least you get $100 for your PSP.

    in before DS is gimmicky and PSP graphics RAWK SO MUCH

    I saw that at work today and laughed. Sony's like the kid in high school who dropped his lunch tray in front of the cheerleader's table and everyone points and laughs at.

    It seems EBGames have jumped on the bandwagon in de-throning Sony. EBGames shouldnt voice an opinion on what you should get, they should just sell the damn things.

    JKtrix, I never knew you would stoop low enough to have a title like that.

    It's just an ad, relax. They're trying to make the DS seem the most technologically advanced so they can sell more. They aren't trying to bash anyone, they just want to sell DS's. You could also view this as PSP's are selling better than DS's so they have to create an ad where DS's are better than people perceive to move them off of their shelves.

    Or, you know, maybe they are just seeing it as easier to sell DS's then PSP's. The EB Here at least can sell DS's easier, even with the PSP adds they have had.

    And besides, the Title is right anyway.

    I think Sony OWNED themselves with the PS3.

    Even the video games stores are pwning sony. Talk about a downward spiral into a horrific explosion of unquestionable size.

    Ask anyone in sales or advertising at all, and they will tell you the best way to sell things is to voice an opinion on what you should get. That's what advertising is.

    And this thing isn't a big deal, anyway. They have a normal DS there too, and a GBA so it's like two "burns" on nintendo, right guys? :rolleyes2

    Advertising is left to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, not EBGames. And the first rule of advertising is not to say get this, not that. When has Coke ever said not to buy Pepsi ? Never, because its wrong.

    This doesn't even make sense. You're saying a retail store shouldn't advertise? What kind of retarded business move would that be? Maybe Coke has never come out and said "Don't buy Pepsi," although I wouldn't be surprised if they actually had. Instead, they make ads that promote Coke over Pepsi or just promote Coke in general. EB isn't saying "Don't buy a PSP, or a DS, or a GBA!" They're just advertising the newest of the handhelds, which is the DS Lite, and trying to get people to trade in older stuff because they can then mark it up and sell it for more money. Are you just trying to be as antagonistic and disagreeable as possible? Because that's about the only way the things you've been saying make any amount of sense.
