Fake Fan Sites - Sony Fakes Authenticity
Sony Fakes Authenticity
Published: Dec 17, 06

Sony faked a PSP fan site in an attempt to market its already popular portable.  Authenticity falls apart when everyone finds out you’re faking it. 

Alliwantforxmasisapsp.com appeared to have been designed by two mates and featured downloadable PSP cards and t-shirt transfers. There was even a Youtube video with one of the mates' cousins rapping about the console. However all that disappeared when Sony fessed up that the site was a part of a marketing campaign designed to promote the PSP in the run-up to Christmas. (theinquirer.net)
