Sony’s Emmy ‘mistake’
p2pnet.net News:- You thought you’d heard it all about Sony? There’s more.
“Sony`s PlayStation 3 wireless Sixaxis controller has been honored by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with a Technology and Engineering Emmy,” posted supadupagama on VideoGamnesBlogger, going on, “And I don`t think there`s anyone not baffled Nintendo`s Wii remote controller didn`t get the honor.”
Be baffled no longer. Sony didn’t get an Emmy. DualShock did. Here’s a Sony ‘ooops’ statement:
Due to miscommunication between the two organizations, this information was incorrectly reported. SCEA won a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for the DualShock controller.
In 2005 Sony was ordered to pay $1.5 million for inventing a fake movie critic to hype its flics.
It also Sony got a, “slap on the wrist for trying to seduce new customers with a fake fan letter,” said Silicon.com.
“Using direct mailing to advertise its new Formula One PlayStation game, Sony pretended an Italian teenager penned the letter, which was accompanied by a ripped-out magazine article promoting the competition.”
