Dear Sony,
The next time you decide to do a marketing promotion for your products, try to avoid using your competitor’s products in your online advertising bugs. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Microsoft’s fans
Apparently Sony’s marketing department did an advertisement for their upcoming PSP’s GranTurismo 4 and decided, "Feh. All racing games are the same. Let’s just steal the artwork from Project Gotham Racing 3. No one will know the difference."
Oh yeah? Apparently, IGN, Major Nelson, and Team Xbox noticed.

Here’s the imagery they stole from Bizarre Creations (the developer we contracted out for the programming work on the PGR series) courtesy of IGN.
