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.
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.
I guess I didnt point out what I was saying. EBGames are allowed to advertise what their selling, but their not in the position to tell you not to buy something over the other.

Im sure people think that the poster isnt trying to de-throne the PSP. But come on, the PSP is slap bang in the middle of the poster, you'd be a fool to say it isnt trying to place one console above the other.
