PGR3 scores a hat trick with Sony advertisements

by Peter Vrabel { May 19th 2007 at 1:00PM }

The first time was amusing, the second time was embarrassing, but the third time ... wait, three times? Apparently Dutch advertisers have the same problem in keeping Project Gotham Racing 3 and Gran Turismo: HD separate. A Mediamarkt magazine published a PS3 article and emblazoned the 2-page spread with the infamous PGR3 Saleen picture, the same one used in advertisements and promo shots when the game first came out in Fall of 2006.

In case you forgot what Gran Turismo: HD looks like, feel free to click here or here for some recent coverage. In case you forgot what PGR3 looks like, stay tuned for more Gran Turismo: HD coverage. As press coverage ramps up, chances are good someone will slather yet another PGR3 shot in error.

Why the fuck are these media's using Gothem to promote Gran Turismo?

The GT screens look much better anyways so why would you want to use Xbox material.

I don't think that is an PGR:3 picture now that I take another look. The grill on the xbox360fanboy.com doesn't look like the grill on this photo.

Halo 3 doesn't look as good as Gears of War, it barely looks as good as Resistance quality.

Umm....I don't think PGR 3 came out in the Fall of 2006.

Rofl, Maybe they'll end up having PGR on PS3.

jason @ May 19th 2007 2:46PM

@massive_98

Don't kind yourself, that's PGR3.

Also...
"Halo 3 doesn't look as good as Gears of War, it barely looks as good as Resistance quality."

RANDOM!? Where did this come from? This entire article is about PGR3 and GT. I don't see where this statement has relevance. I'm sorry, it's just completely random. Also ofcourse it's not going to look as good as GEARS. It's Halo. Never was about the graphics, just the gameplay.
